The Secret World : I’m just a sweet transcendant, from Transcendental Transylvania

I’ve been in the Beseiged Farmlands of Transylvania for a couple of days now. It’s pretty heavy going. While it’s sometimes tricky to figure out how tough things are, everything here drops QL 10 gear, which is the highest QL I’m aware of. There’s still two more Transylvanian areas after this one, and I assume they’re tougher still, so I’m not sure what sort of gear will be found there. Perhaps blue and purple gear becomes more common out that […]

The Secret World: A Quick Update

The Secret World went into head-start a little over a week ago now, and I have been deep into my investigations of all that is strange and spooky.

I absolutely adore investigation missions, and I wish there were more of them. I am very proud that I have so far managed to solve them all myself, and they are, alongside the story, what makes Secret World so compelling for me. I am aware, though, that there is a finite number […]

Everquest 2: SOE remove subscriptions from the marketplace.

As of today, we can no longer buy a month’s subscription to Everquest or Everquest 2 for Station Cash in the marketplace.

Piestro has stated on the Everquest forum:

Hey folks,

Just jumping in to let you know this was indeed an intentional change. This decision was partially based on the very limited utilization of this feature.

Regards,

I had laser eye surgery today, and can barely see straight, so I’m going to make this quick and blunt.

Do not […]

In Which I See The Light : My Laser Eye Surgery Consultation

I have been rather short-sighted for most of my life. It hasn’t really bothered me all that much, but still, it’s a bit inconvenient, and I’ve always had a hankering to get my eyes fixed. Back when I first looked at it, it was a rather new thing in the UK, and I decided that I’d pass, with it not being worth that chance of something going wrong.

A few weeks ago I was wandering through Norwich when I saw […]

The Secret World Beta Bonanza Part 8

Continuing on from part 7!

In our last thrilling episode, our hero had finally made his way to Kingsmouth, via the most curious of travel arrangements, and battled his way through a slight zombie outbreak to the Sheriff’s office.

I first make my way onto the roof of the building, where deputies are keeping the zombies at bay with well-times rifle-shots. Deputy Andy is up here, and I deliver the ammo that I found on the way here.

When you […]

The Secret World Beta Bonanza Part 7 – Zombie Apocalypse

Continuing from Part 6!

It’s another Secret World beta weekend, and I’ll be continuing on where I left off. Once again, Templar are the only playable faction, but some extra content has been unlocked in New England, though the chances of me reaching it, at the rate I do these things, is quite minimal.

When we last saw our hero, he was trapped in the Crucible by a particularly unpleasant bug. I am happy […]

The Secret World Beta Bonanza Part 6 – The Naked Jape

Continuing on from Part 5, where I was last seen trying to decide which weapon skill I should pursue.

21:03 pm GMT, 13th of May

I’m still dithering a bit. All the weapon skills seem quite decent, though something with a bit of range might prove to be most useful for me at this point. You can equip 2 weapons at once, so later on I’ll be able to have a close range and a long range weapon, but I […]
