Screenshot Saturday: Back to Wow… again… again… again
After being away for a year, I decided to return to WoW Classic. My initial goal had been to level my mage and get her through Burning Crusade. But that was a year! I had always wanted to play a frost mage just as I did back “in the old days”, but I was worried…

Games I’m playing (June 2021)
I would like to say that I’m deeply enjoying the new content that came with Burning Crusade Classic, but I’m not. The reason is that my only level 60 character is my warlock and while I like levelling her a lot more now that she has her Felguard, I would much rather play through the…

Meanwhile in German WoW Classic…
After the latest patch, I logged on and got very annoyed as without a warning, all addons had been reset. Why was that? As much as I love using addons, I really don’t like fiddling with the addon settings until they’re all usable. And I really did not feel like doing that yesterday evening. So,…

Games I’ve been playing in March ’21
I know of several other bloggers who write about the games they’ve been playing – most recently I read Rakuno’s post. Since I haven’t spent that much time in any of my MMOs to properly write about anything, I decided to do this instead. You can sort your games by when you last launched them…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Railroading in MMOs
It took me a long time until I could finally step into the Shadowlands expansion in World of Warcraft. And I am immediately longing for WoW Classic again (well, the Burning Crusade version of it). When I played my first MMO, World of Warcraft, I loved the exploration part. Just walking into one direction and…

My MMOs in 2020
No new MMO has made it on my list this year. I did give New World a try, but ultimately ended up not liking it. It’s okay and I am still curious to see whether Amazon can release a solid MMO and continue supporting it, but it’s just not for me. In general, I played…

WoW Classic or Retail?
It is a bit ironic that I returned to WoW because of its classic version, but I am staying in WoW now because of the retail version. If we had Classic Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King, there would be no question about which one I’d be playing. I miss my old Draenei…

Which MMO does Halloween best?
I really like the autumn and halloween events in MMOs! When I saw ArenaNet announce the date for their Halloween event (it starts today, by the way) for Guild Wars 2 this year, I started to wonder: What other MMOs do them? It is a bit of a silly question because I play these MMOs,…

Games I’ve played in July
Our vacation is over now and work will start again on Monday. The weather wasn’t as bad as we had feared, but far from what I would call “summer”. So, with everything going on and us preferring to either spend time outside or in our own home, we actually did get to spend quite a…

Vacation Gaming Goals
Plans were made, then Corona happened. Instead of getting to visit my Greek friends, we’re staying home. I already had some vacation days while bookahnerk worked. These were basically to make up for working overtime and I used the free time to work on my dissertation. Now we’re looking at two weeks of vacation time…

My MMOs in July 2020
I am still pondering whether to continue with WoW Classic or not. The lack of Burning Crusade is just too severe for me and I really want my Draenei mage! Although, since we’re playing Horde, this would probably rather be a Blood Elf paladin. Having paladins and shaman on both sides was a really good…

Send help! – Games I’ve been playing in June
I bought both Project Hospital and Old World a couple of weeks ago. One evening, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to play Project Hospital or continue playing Old World. Project Hospital is a hospital simulation/management game and Old World is a turn-based strategy game. So both are different enough – and yet, I couldn’t…

Screenshot Saturday: Ding Ding!
My shaman finally hit level 40 in WoW Classic! I realized too late that I don’t want to play my warlock and am slowly levelling my shaman now… if only I really knew what for. I started with enhancement, but switched to elemental at level 38, because this way, I could also maybe play a…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Guilds and their leaders
The members of Dragon Season (a guild on the EU servers in Guild Wars 2) may remember a time where I was actively playing the game and organized our guild parties. Here’s a fun fact: Not too long ago, when rambling about guilds (in WoW Classic), I said to bookahnerk: Well, I’m the one talking…

My top five MMO classes
There seem to be a few “top five” lists going around and with my recent post about returning to Lotro and figuring out which class I actually like, I thought it may be a nice idea to write about my favourite classes. First things first, I can only decide if a class can be in…
