Star Trek Online only gets one chance a day
I’ve been trying to play a bit of Star Trek Online since the Season 3 release, but they’ve had some server troubles and bugs. Today, while I was in the middle of a mission, I was “disconnected from server.” Well, this sort of thing doesn’t seem to happen so often in LOTRO or other games…

Star Trek Online Season 3 First Impressions
I started a new character in Star Trek Online to see what the Season 3 update is all about. So far, when just starting out, the changes are just cosmetic. Sector space looks a lot better and less cartoonish. I think the developers wanted to make things look more cinematic, so there are small touches…

Too many games!
Gosh, it’s a real problem that I have too many games to play and not enough time. Lord of the Rings Online had a recent update that fixed Lore Masters a bit and made positive changes to crafting. I’m really enjoying LOTRO! But now, Star Trek Online has put out the Season 3 update, so…

Too Many Games, Not Enough Time
While I have spent what little free time I’ve had lately enjoying Star Trek Online‘s great Weekly Episodes and Lord of the Rings Online‘s vast virtual world (and skirmishes), I have acquired or ordered some new games that I don’t know when I will have time to play. I bought Alan Wake a week or…

On “Freemium” Games
I’ve been playing a lot of “freemium” games lately and have had some thoughts on them. A freemium game is free to play, but builds in mechanisms for the user to pay real money for premium features or goodies. Some of my favorite freemium games include Pocket Legends, Lord of the Rings Online, Pocket Frogs,…

Free MMORPGs for all!
I’ve been enjoying two free-to-play MMORPGs a lot recently. Lord of the Rings Online is a terrific MMORPG for the PC with good combat, skills, and even crafting. I’ve been working on my prospector and jeweler crafting in order to be able to make good stuff for my kinship. I joined a pretty terrific kinship…

More Pocket Legends
Though I have managed to fix my gaming PC’s power supply, I’ve been playing a bit more Pocket Legends, the iPad and iPhone MMORPG, because it is fun. I’m also posting some pictures so you can see how good it looks on the iPad screen (though for some reason, the less-than-helpful WordPress iPad app resized…

Pocket Legends
Because my main gaming PC is still down for the count because of power supply problems, I started playing Pocket Legends on the iPad. This is a pretty interesting MMORPG that looks very good on iPad (and is playable on iPhone too). The user interface is very simple, with a tap to designate a target,…

Enjoying Lord of the Rings Online
I’ve been playing LOTRO when I get a little while between being busy with other things, and I’m enjoying it (mostly). The crafting system is pretty nifty and I’m working my way up as a prospector, cook, and jeweler. I also finally managed to buy a horse. In order to get said horse, I had…

Lord of the Rings Online Character Page
Like Star Trek Online, Lord of the Rings Online has a personal character page that shows your characters and progress. Mine is here. It looks like the LOTRO one is even more capable than STO’s one, as it shows details about completed achievements and seems to allow users to add their own commentary. Not that…
