Summer makes me jumpy!
June 22, 2008
It sure does seem like the warm season is pushing me towards a frenzy of activity, including in the MMO world. While checking my Sony Station account, I noticed that I had 2 free weeks of Star Wars Galaxies left, so I checked the title out. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be returning on a regular basis to SWG. I can’t put my finger on it, but it just does not generate any excitement in me. I could point out the clunky targeting system, the strange mission journal and the deserted server I was on as contributing factors for my apathy, but maybe it’s that I am just too jaded. Oh well.
Since SWG didn’t hit the spot, I decided to give World of Warcraft another look, this after a two year abscence. So far I am finding it alright. Contrary to many people I enjoy the cartoony graphics, it really does give it a special flavor. But for now, it has left me a bit underwhelmed, I thought I’d be more excited about coming back to this mega success.
The reason for this may lie in the fact that my EQ2 playing has picked up. I just joined a guild and am starting to catch up gear-wise with the rest of the crowd, which makes me want to devote most of my energy to this title, preventing me from fully diving into anything else at the moment.
And I have yet to logon to Age of Conan, event though the game box that is sitting on my computer desk taunts me daily…
