Time Flies When You’re Not Gaming

Posted by Wolfen in General

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted anything here. The job I started a year and a half ago began to take more and more of my time until eventually I had no time to play games. Not playing games makes it a tad difficult to write about them. I had also started another blog that dealt with computers and technology around the same time as this one (you’ll see its posts integrated with this blog). Again, the job took all my time away from it. Finally, things have slowed down to a more livable pace, and I am ready to start playing games and writing about them again.

The big question I am struggling with right now is which game(s) to play. I have a lifetime subscription to Lord of the Rings Online, so I am leaning towards it for now. I have already started a new character and I am working on the newbie quests now. Of course, with LOTRO becoming a free-to-play game soon, being a lifetime subscriber doesn’t mean much anymore.

I had focused heavily on Vanguard: Saga of Heroes when I started this blog. I contemplated starting it up again, but I just don’t see this game having much of a future. This dampens any desire I might have had to play it.

I have friends who play Star Trek Online. I gave the free trial a whirl but never got past that. Plus, my friends would be light years ahead of me by now. It was an interesting game, but it didn’t pull me in enough to make me stay.

The game I am really waiting for is Star Wars: The Old Republic. I just wish it was going to launch sooner than it is. It looks to be a fantastic experience, and I hope it is better than Star Wars Galaxies turned out to be.

So, the Ultimate Casual Warrior is back in the saddle. I will begin making regular posts soon.
