Second Sins?
I have taken a closer look at Second Life, to get the point why it’s such a hype. To get into, I created an account to see what is happening there – so I logged in.
The first problem I had to face was money – Reminds us of our first life, euh? Well. The solution sounds simple: work
So I checked out the job market and was shocked first as 70% of the jobs were escort services.

Sweeping Hades
March 22nd, 2007 by Stargazer
Due to some players it is very hard to farm ectos in the underworld area of Guild Wars. I remembered the things I was taught by my mentor on ecto runs for two players and took out my old necromancer. Following the old school rules I was able to gain many ectos in short time – 26 to be exact.

TeamSpeak
February 23rd, 2007 by Stargazer
Today someone explained me the SS Necro skillset used for farming. It is a fine thing to be able to gain special bows, shards and ectos.
For better teamplay a Team Speak Server is avaliable.

Server gone?
February 22nd, 2007 by Stargazer
Today at about 18:30 Guild Wars – Error code 13 – Guild Wars couldn’t complete some processes.
So far the nice evening in front of the box…
Update: As it seems, the european server crashed. After 1 hour it was possible to log in again. Game performance and ping times were poor. Fact is, that I got disconnected several times.

Against ‘killer games’
February 14th, 2007 by Stargazer
It is everywhere in the media: the discussion about killer games – What will it lead to? Here are some buzzwords from the news:
Warnings on packages, penalty… and that very soon.
The scenario would be, that nearly every computer game would be g-rated. So the only game a teenager could buy would be something like ‘Bob and his adventures in the zoo’, because no matter if it is an RPG or strategic battle (let’s leave the first person shooters aside, ok?) – you win by eliminating the enemy. All of the MMORPGs – even Guild Wars – would be forbidden for people younger than 18 years as you gain experience by cutting down enemies… Read the rest of this entry »

Goodbye to my guild – and now?
February 6th, 2007 by Stargazer
The guild I was a member of is currently more dead than alive. And it was always me helping others out, no matter what I was about to do. But if it was me, needing some help nobody had time or was willing to help. – So I decided to leave.
Hard times started. By now if I enter an outpost or a city, the conversations I notice have changed. Sentences like ‘Group looking for monk!!!’ or ‘W/Mo LGF!!!’ are drown out by ‘Hi! You’re not in a guild right now… We’re a guild full of nice and cool people. Come on, join us!’ – If you refuse, they do not really understand your reasons.

Weekend!!!
January 19th, 2007 by Stargazer
Finally – Weekend. After that week, it is really a good thing – trust me. To have some fun I decided to play Guild Wars for the next hours. The Nightfall missions around the vortx area are really a pain as the area is hardly visited by players by now… Just the right time to blog about :)
