Holy cow, it’s been ages since I wrote anything here. So so sorry! The last post I made was musings on the MMOs I’ve played for the last 20ish years, so let’s make a more modern update on that. First off, some IRL updates. About a year and a half after that post I changed ... Read More

Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, World of WarcraftLeave a Comment

I’ve played a lot of MMOs over the years, some noteworthy, others not so much. Focusing on the noteworthy side, I’ve chosen to make the first post in nearly two years about what I consider the most noteworthy MMOs I have played: Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, and World of Warcraft. Why are these ... Read More

Patch 2.4, Miscellany, and Expansion Packs

Final Fantasy XIVLeave a Comment

Oh boy, I’ve not posted in here in ages! Guess that means I’ve been keeping myself busy enough. Anyway, today is the big maintenance for FFXIV Patch 2.4, which adds a new class and associated job, the final leg of the Coil raids, a new type of token currency, and even more main storyline. How ... Read More

Back in Eorzea

Final Fantasy XIVLeave a Comment

I’d toyed with reactivating my FFXIV account after reading about the additions in 2.2 and how the game is starting to have more content. However, I decided that if I were to do this, it wouldn’t be on Sargatanas. Sure, my old friends from Ragnarok FFXI are there, and if I really wanted to, I ... Read More

Transitioning: Vana’diel to Eorzea and Beyond

Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, Phantasy Star Online 2Leave a Comment

Well, it’s been quite a while since I posted here! In the past, oh, 8 months or so since my last post, I played through the FF14 beta phases and did some goofing off in FF11 between them, all leading up to the release of FF14, which I jumped into with both feet. I ended ... Read More

Ugh, Excel is both the most awesome program ever and the most dangerous. I took some time this morning to tabulate up how many merit points I need to fully merit my 5 99s and associated categories: 691. Ouch. Guess I got a lot of worm parties or whisker burning to do… On the less ... Read More

Looking Forward…

Thus far the use of Ninja to collect seals and +2 items has gone rather nicely. Wednesday night I killed Pascerpot a few times with a friend’s BLM to get the 8 seals for Iga Kyahan +1, and we killed 3 Bukhises as well, which weren’t nearly as smooth, even with another NIN to help, ... Read More

It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote anything over here, so it’s time for some recap action! I’d started work on finally finishing the Lu Shang’s Fishing Rod quest, even going so far as to compile a spreadsheet to track remaining fish, stacks of fish, and full 200-catch fishing days, but some reading ...

Another New Month…

I’m back in Vana’diel for the Nth time. An old friend of mine, the original owner of my second account in fact, started playing it again and posted on Facebook that he needed an Earth Staff. So happens I had one on a mule signed by someone who was in our old HNMLS on Ragnarok ... Read More

Life on a Role-Playing PvE Server…

TERALeave a Comment

TERA is a game I was never certain I would play. It’s not that I thought it was a bad game at first, I just didn’t feel like playing it as I was still figuring out what game I wanted to play between FFXI, WoW, or FFXIV since I finally had a computer capable of ... Read More
