MMO trials: EVE online trial over

May 12, 2008

End of trial thoughts.
I have to agree with mbp here, I did enjoy the trial but my concerns were that the trial is more a trap laid out by the MMO to snare your attention into buying the 1st month of game time.
I have my reservations with timed trials & for it to be [...]

MMO trials: EVE Online day 5/21

April 23, 2008

Day 5. Lost days - why no pause button?!

With the early tutorial over, some isks in my wallet but still owning a very basic ship, EVE Online seems vast & to the new player & uncharted. There are a number of additional tutorials which you can run through including Intermediate, Advanced & Informative batches but [...]

Trackback Tuesday #3

April 23, 2008

So are we all talking GTA IV?
7 days to go before Rockstars biggest ever release hits the ground running & there’s plenty of baited breath going around. Yes, I have it pre-ordered but I’m still waiting for my PS3 to be delivered, that I thought would turn up today…maybe tomorrow. I’m also expecting installation of [...]

MMO trials: sickness delays

April 20, 2008

Time sensitive trials, like the 21 day EVE Online one I began 4 days ago, don’t have a pause feature. Which is a shame really, as real life likes to butt in just when you think your plans are watertight.

For anyone outside the UK, this spoof movie may not make much sense but if you watch any of [...]

MMO trials: EVE Online day 2/21

April 17, 2008

Day 2. Patch 1.2 deployed. EVE Online’s 5th birthday, May 6th.
As with numerous MMOs, patch day comes around just like bills do…usually at your inconvenience. The time I had put aside for playing EO, before work, ran out on me waiting for the server to come back online. I did manage to play through a [...]

MMO trials: EVE Online day 1/21

April 15, 2008

What strikes me on beginning my 21 day trial in EVE Online, is the revamped character creation segment to the game. It takes you through 9 areas of character creation, covering the semi-cosmetic(Gender) to the attribute boosting(Race & Ancestry).
You can move back through the 9 creation areas at any of the points & you are [...]
