Delayed

May 17, 2007 · Filed under Videogames, Website

I sat down to write this post four hours ago. It did not get written four hours ago. Instead, I was distracted by the new version of Wordpress (v2.2). I went to download it, as I’m sure I’m overdue for an update; but before I installed it, I wanted to get it set up locally to test because I hate updating and having it end up broken. Turns out I haven’t copied this site to my local server yet, so I started doing that. Of course, that had to be problematic, so after a while of putsing around with my WAMP install, I downloaded the EVE-Online 14 day trial and became thoroughly distracted.

I have not played enough of EVE to make a solid review, but I plan to play it some more over the next week or two and really get a feel for the game. I still wish upon wishes that Guild Wars wasn’t so boring; I’ve tried time and again to get into it, but it just lacks any kind of pull (aside from a beautiful world). Star Wars Galaxies had such potential, but they killed that real quick. Asheron’s Call is dwindling away after 7 some years in the industry. I hear Vanguard is pretty good, and that LotRO is worthwhile, too. I actually watched the Grammys with someone who was (is?) working on LotRO; that was really cool. (Oblivion is still fun, but it lacks human interaction being a single player title.)

(My writing felt really forced tonight; I’m out of practice :/)

    I’ll be honest and let you know that the 2 weeks trial is somewhat short to really get a good idea of the potential and fun EVE can bring.

    Think of it more like a glimpse. EVE is so much more a new world then a game. The freedom is so vast and wide that it may be scary to some.

    On my blog you’ll find some useful links to guides and reference sites that should help you when you get stock somewhere.

    Good luck and fly safe!

    Yay!

    I didn’t mean that you should force the writing, though it’s good to hear from you. ;)

    I just went through the updating process myself… I should have learned by now not to do so immediately after the new version is released, but of course I went ahead and did it anyway. A couple of my plugins broke, but I managed to find ways around that.

    I need to play more video games.
