MMO News

2 little bits of info for today... I guess technically they are both related but not related. Both involve MMO's that are going free to play.

Thats right... In the not so distant future, Wildstar Online will be going free to play. Although this isn't what you would call breaking news, I still think it's relevant considering its going to be happening soon from what I gathered. 

[FAQ from Official Site]

So apparently Guild Wars 2 is now ALSO free to play... Though for the life of me I simply cannot get an account registered. I'm not exactly sure why either. I've changed the registration information like 3 or 4 times trying to make it adhere to whatever kind of parameters they have set and it just wont take them... Maybe I'll try again another day.

Thats it for the news... not that I do it all that often. Maybe just more when its relevant. But in truth I've wanted to try both of these MMO's after being a long-time WoW subber and nearly played that for about 10 years off and on. Well... 7 years straight and then after I quit I had small times where it piqued my interest again and I would find myself a subscriber again. All good though... I'm really not sure that I'm going to be picking up this latest expansion of WoW as I really have no time to play the game and devote the hours and hours on end that a game like that needs. But never say never... the world is a strange place and I've seen stranger things happen and me resubscribing and purchasing an expansion for to get a gander at some new content.

And for some non anime info...

I mentioned at the outset that this wasn't going to be all anime all the time. There would be some other interests like Manga, TV, Movies and of course Games. 

What I wanna talk about now is...

This game... it almost feels like I need to post a 'Dat Ass' meme picture to describe it. First off, I don't own a Wii-U at the moment, although I see one in my near future and I am absolutely positive I will be purchasing this game to go with it. Not in recent year has a game been so much fun for the whole family. My best friend brought over his Wii-U and we were all sitting around playing 4 players the whole time... Laughing, joking... I have to get one and if you have a Wii-U and don't have this game then get on the ball.

Also be on the lookout for..

Something else I'd like to ask about is another game that just released...

I stopped playing MMOs last year when I cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription. I had been playing that for nearly 7 years and poured alot of my time into that game. I have like 8 lvl 85 toons and a lvl 90 before i stopped playing... Mind you... if you know anything about WoW then you'd know that lvl 90 is the top lvl you can get and 85 was the top from Cataclysm. I didnt level any of my toons except for the one I made with Pandaria. A pandaren monk that I took all the way from lvl 1 to 90 when the expansion hit. A lot of work... and very monotonous.

So, have you played any of it? Beta or Live? (it launched the other day) And how do you like it?
