...but Rift does the wardrobe thing better.  (Yes, I'm aware that I butchered the meme; I really don't give a rat-damn.)

But seriously: first wardrobe tab is free and stays active until changed.  And not only are "joke" items not disallowed, but purely-cosmetic items specifically for the purpose have been in-game since day one.  (Although, in all ( Read more... )

STFU.  You are beginning to come off as a troll.  And not the sort that one finds in the Echo Isles, either; more like the sort that one finds in Stonefield.

Considering the circumstances, I hope you find it especially insulting that I compared you to a Rift troll (although I'm sure you've never gotten to Stonefield):  After all, even if the ( Read more... )

...and immediately started combing it for Sues.  Suffice to say that despite being on the same faction as the draenei of Telara, the Kelari seem to be the blood elves thereof.  Yes, I'm awful ( Read more... )

The answer, of course, is "suggest that Blizzard's writing has not been that good, even by video game standards, lately."  Hurtage, strawmanning, and repeated complete missing of the point will ensue.

If you're talking to someone who thinks Thrall becoming the next Earth Aspect is a good idea that totally wouldn't irredeemably Sam him?  That ( Read more... )

Overzealous WoW fans who trash on Rift remind me of overzealous 4th-edition Dungeons & Dragons fans who trash on Pathfinder.  The main difference is that the 4e fans seem, for the most part, to be somewhat less irrational.

Speaking of Pathfinder, I'm in the process of reviving my world blog.

Beware of trope.

Remember this thing?  Well, there's one setting that I didn't mention.  Then again, back when I wrote it, it wasn't yet really a going concern.

So let me get to the point in regards to Telara:  Uriel/Kira?  Practically canon.  (Yes, Uriel is usually a male name; the character in question, however, is female.)  Chew on that for a

...of an entire three subjects proves conclusively that evolutionary psychologists are as dumb as a bag of rocks and don't know what the word "objective" means, but think they're always right.  There are graphs, which proves that it's science™ and has to be true.

Seriously.  What the hell was this idiot trying to accomplish, aside from making an ( Read more... )

Next WoW player who whines about all of the grey and gray morality in Rift?  I'm tempted to get even snarkier than I already did.  As in, tell player of night elf with froofroo name that I don't know what soured her on Guardian-side, because one would think that their holier-than-thou attitude would suit her perfectly ( Read more... )

The sheer, unmitigated arrogance.

Am I still playing WoW?  Yes, albeit not as much lately (because holy hell, wedding plans...and I'm trying to write, to boot).  Hell, the retvindicatrix is almost out of Northrend (which is saying something, because I slog through Northrend).

But enough with the presumption that WoW is unequivocally the best of ( Read more... )

Be my guest.

Yes, it's completely legit.  It's Ascend-A-Friend.  Free trials.

On another note?  ( I'm going to rant briefly. )
