Tera

In between Archeage I have been giving Tera a try once more. And I am actually beginning to like that game too! Since I am a MMORPG girl I absolutely adore the universe! Eventhough it is more bound compared to Archeage's sandbox format, it still have some great PVP features in the game. Not to mention the awesome costumes and armor pieces in the game! It kinda reminds me of the old days playing Aion, with a good reason why, since it is the same people behind the game! If you havent played Tera I would recommend you to try it out, it is free to play afterall. And since the game has been out for more than a year it has plenty hours of fun for you to discover! I have played the game until lvl 52, but I recommend you play with a friend or two, since questing can get a bit dull in the end, like any other game. But with lots of dungeons during leveling and special relic weapons, there is a lot of small details making it different from the normal flower picking quest!
I play a priest on the EU server called Fraya, under the name Naiomhe (Elanora was taken!!!!) Feel free to poke me if you see me online! 
Here is a few screenshots from my adventures of Tera!

Have you been playing Tera? 

Back on track

Just got home from my second week of holiday and had a blast! I just got home in time to try out ArcheAge's second closed beta event, which will run from 31th of july till 4th of august! Did you get your beta keys yet?

ArcheAge

2014 has been a confusing year for me in games... I haven't really found "THE GAME" yet... Which is kinda sad, since I had my hopes up for The Elders Scrolls Online.. But since that was a downer for me, I have been stuck in Final Fantasy XIV - A realm reborn. And now I am starting to get slightly bored... After having been so busy IRL, I haven't felt the same vibe in either of the games I own. LOTRO, FFXIV, Sims 3, Age of Conan, etc.. I am finding myself in a weird spot where I dont know which way to go. I want something new and exciting and then I got a tip about this new game called ArcheAge!

When I heard the name at first, I was a bit sceptical, due to it also being an asian MMO, but then when I read into what the game was like I was blown away. ArcheAge ain't just a normal MMORPG, but it is a sandbox game, meaning players are allowed to do almost anything!
You can build your own house anywhere, trading/gathering is playerbased, you can build your ship, PVP, there is even a crime system if you steal of someone else goods! On top of that there are no bound classes, but you have the control of which skills and weapons you would like to use! So be your own master and be the character you have always wanted to be! The game has seriously every aspect all the other MMORPGs have been missing for the last 10-15 years!

ArcheAge is litteraly the MMORPG you have been waiting for! And the betas are supposed to go out next month in June 2014. The game has been out since last year in Korean and Japan, but they are translating the game ATM. Hopefully we will get this game sooner than I can hope for! At least I am very excited! And the best thing about ArcheAge is it is Free to Play!!!! Ofc there is a chance of having a subscription if you want some extra stuff, but how amazing is that anyway?
I am looking forward to trying it out and hopefully it will be all the waiting worth it!

FFXIV - Patch 2.2

Since I finally reached the end game stuff in Final Fantasy, a lot of time has been passing by doing the same stuff over and over again, but that is soon to an end with the new patch 2.2. coming up on the 27th of March!
We are getting new dungeons, raids, hardmodes and extreme modes of earlier dungeons! New hairstyles, new armour, cosmetics and much much more :)
I can't wait for the weekend to start!

Male vs. Female character

Source: Weknowmemes

It is one of the big questions everytime you launch up a new game. What to pick? Male or female character?
Some people tend to use the online games for being something they are not if I ain't mistaken? And this could be one of the reasons for so many males picking a female character, but that's just a guess of course.
Personally I tend to stick with the female characters, maybe because I feel like I can "be in the character" myself somehow, though the actual body, pointy ears, muscles, tail and height might be a bit off sometimes! I think I pick the female characters in the case of the game being a good Roleplaying game aswell, if the chance for getting some good Roleplaying going is there I am up for it! That way I am sure I am able to bring some life into my character by being female in real life aswell.

I have played MMORPG games for almost 7 years now and so far I haven't made one single male character... Maybe it is time to start looking into that path? Not sure but I am definitely never in a doubt when trying out a new game, female from start to finish!

But what do you fancy the most when making a new character?

Lately in FFXIV - on Adventure with Namine

Lately I have been getting my Bard to lvl 50 in Final Fantasy XIV, which has been some adventure! I am still in love with the game and its aspects and ofc I already made alts...!

If you still haven't tried the game or are looking for something new it is definitely worth trying out for 16 euros for one month.

But I am curious:
Which games are you playing lately??

Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn

  

Since I lost interest in LOTRO, I had the chance to try out something new and different. A friend talked me into trying out Final Fantasy XIV, and I must admit it really was the change I needed.

The game itself seems at first like any other MMO, but has a lot more to give.
For example you can play all the classes with one character and you have to make alts, eventhough I love that concept sometimes! But handy on the other hand to just have one char with one name. So everyone knows who you are!
On top of that all the crafting can be done aswell from one character! Again super smart!
To top off that there is a lot of dungeons, something called Guildhests which is like small fights against a boss, raids and PVP.
I am afraid I haven't even tried half of it yet, but I am looking forward to trying the raids and PVP! But so far I ain't disappointed yet! I am lvl 30 and I feel like there is so much to this game, that I won't find it boring straight away.
I would personally say FFXIV is a great game to spend time on while waiting for games like The Elder Scrolls online. At least I know where I will be hanging out when there is time!
