Happy New Year ?
I am a bit late, but that’s life when 2 daughters are dragging me all over the place.
I took a little break from MMOs and online gaming in general since that ArcheAge fiasco. Now that I am no longer hot under the collar , I have been looking at some new properties out on the horizon. Crowfall (http://crowfall.com/#/) looks great and I backed it on kickstarter . I hope the team doesn’t disappoint, but they know they have niche market they are targeting so hopefully they can fill the void.
I have also been playing some Path of Exile and Grim Dawn. PoE (https://www.pathofexile.com/) is still the best FREE game I have ever played and the company did the cash shop the right way. Grinding Gear Games hit a home run with this. Grim Dawn (http://wwww.grimdawn.com) is still in Early Access phases, but it plays very well . The look and feel of their game world is robust and I am digging their take on the classes and skills I am currently running this http://grimcalc.com/build/ukxHJz and not dying every second. The death penalties are xp based and you have a chance to recover lost xp after dying. Very helpful in those long drawn out boss fights.
If you have time give Grim Dawn a look.
Hero Academy: 2130 Hrs Played
This has got to be a record of some sort. I play this game daily but I didn’t know that I have been playing it for that long.

Fuck you HackerShield and Fuck you ArcheAge
So I had purchased a founders pack of ArcheAge to give it a try , unfortunately, AA’s antibot/hackz software HackerShield keeps crashing me to the desktop. I tried everything on their list of “fixes” but most of them involve uninstalling/reinstalling and turning off services. No game should require this much prep work . Eve, Neverwinter , ShadowBane and 50 other MMOs run just fine on my PC, ArcheAge being the exception.
So I found a fix for hackershield. Uninstall!
Yep, no more worrying about crashing to the desktop. I uninstalled the piece of shit and now I am going to have a beer or three and try to forget I wasted two days on this fucking game.

Oh MagicBane, how do I love thee …
MagicBane is turning out to be a great joy to play. While it is definately laggy at times and there are some issues with bugs, it is still in a good state to play.
Finally guilded with the Planet of the Apes nation, we had my first bane in a few years last night. The bane was easily crushed and the city looked like new.
I remember now why I liked shadowbane so much … class diversity and easy leveling so that you can concentrate on your PVPing and City Building. The mob farms are just another commodity in a guilds tools to manage resources.
