bhagpuss 2021-04-07 20:39 Hello Moto It's back. The April Fool's joke that didn't know when to stop. Yes, it's Super Adventure Box, now upgraded to Festival status. Some... bhagpuss 2021-04-01 22:12 Just For One Day While I'm a big fan of holidays in mmorpgs, April Fool's isn't one of my favorites. As a smallish child I enjoyed slipping a plastic fried... bhagpuss 2021-03-25 19:44 Lost Cat Remember the big cats? They're back. In fact, if you believe the patch notes, they're multiplying: New cats, visible while under the... bhagpuss 2021-03-17 19:17 When You Hear The Call I've kind of fallen of the EverQuest II wagon these last few thanks to Valheim shouldering everything else to one side. It's niggling away...
bhagpuss 2021-03-16 22:44 Different Voices This morning I played through the first two parts of Guild Wars 2's latest addition to the Icebrood Saga. Let's not get into the naming conventions of that again. I wanted to see the story segment with Braham. I was...
bhagpuss 2021-03-11 22:08 I'm Off Balance The latest episode of Guild Wars 2's current Living World went live a couple of days ago. It labors under an awkward portmanteau title that varies depending on where you see it. The full version runs to Icebrood...
bhagpuss 2021-03-09 04:00 Another Year, Another Beer I could have written at least three lengthy posts based on what I did yesterday and today in Valheim. The game continues to generate stories (or, if you prefer, anecdotes) at an astonishing rate. It also kicks up any...
bhagpuss 2021-02-04 04:35 Push The Envelope As has been mentioned many, many times before, I'm very fond of anniversary and holiday events in mmorpgs. They vary a lot but on the whole they tend to be strong on knockabout fun and light on player skill....
bhagpuss 2021-02-03 00:34 Donkey Ride It very much looks as though I'm playing Black Desert again. That wasn't in any plan I'd made. Not that I make plans. Okay, I sort of do, a little. In my head. I don't go so far as to write them down or make blog posts...
bhagpuss 2021-01-20 22:40 I Run Missions The latest instalment in Guild Wars 2's Icebrood Saga, which I previewed somewhat sarcastically just one week ago, dropped last night. It seems to be called either "Champions" or "Power" or...
bhagpuss 2021-01-18 02:14 The Way We Were This afternoon I got an old PC working again and on it I found a few folders of screenshots I hadn't seen for a while. Nothing all that far back, but some half-lost memories all the same. Here's a selection.The house...
bhagpuss 2021-01-14 20:02 Maybe We'll Love It Continuing this week's impromptu theme, yesterday's postbarely came closer to what I'd meant to write than the day's before. I did always plan to use the promo video for Guild Wars 2's upcoming Champions: Power update...
bhagpuss 2020-10-10 21:35 Pumpkin, Pumpkin It's that time of year again. Pumpkins, candles, spooky stories, all that stuff. It's going to be a bit of a strange one out in the real world. Can't imagine too many people wanting to take their kids trick or treating...
bhagpuss 2020-10-05 17:58 Fodder For The Cannons : GW2 I finally finished the original "personal story" in Guild Wars 2. It only took me eight years. It wasn't entirely new to me. I had seen the ending before. The original ending, that is. Back at launch, Mrs....
bhagpuss 2020-10-01 20:44 Know Your Rights Genshin Impact. It's the cool new game that everyone's playing. Belghast is playing. Tobold is playing. TheRoyalFamilyis playing. I was thinking of playing, too but so far I haven't even downloaded the game. Not...
bhagpuss 2020-09-01 02:00 Let's Submerge: GW2 I almost didn't bother doing "Finding Sabaha", Guild Wars 2's recently-introduced Skimmer Mastery Achievement. It's a mount quest and I've made no secret of how I feel about mounts in GW2. I wish they'd never...
inanage.com 2020-08-31 18:00 GW2: Full Steam Ahead Guild Wars 2 is heading to Steam in November. The details are sketchy at the moment, but it does appear that GW2 will have the same sort of account restrictions that Final Fantasy 14 had when it made a similar move back...
bhagpuss 2020-08-27 19:43 Beginning Of The End : GW2 We know what it's called: We know what it looks like (er, kinda...)We know when we're getting it.The only thing we don't know is - will it be any good?By my count, so far ArenaNet are two for three.The original Guild...
bhagpuss 2020-08-20 21:49 School's Out : GW2 As we walked through some local woodland this morning, enjoying the welcome, warm summer sunshine after yesterday's storms, Mrs. Bhagpuss and I were chatting about the current glut of activities on offer in Guild Wars...
bhagpuss 2020-07-30 02:28 On The Rise: GW2 The latest instalment of Guild Wars 2's Icebrood Saga went live yesterday, around about teatime, my time. I was at home (aren't I always, these days?) so I could have played it right away. A few years back I'd have been...
bhagpuss 2020-07-21 22:46 Always The Same Several bloggers I follow have been weighing in with opinions and speculations based around information coming out of World of Warcraft's Shadowlands beta. Enthusiasm seems lukewarm at best.The last expansion, Battle...
bhagpuss 2020-07-18 18:39 Restless In Tyria We're just over a month away from the eight anniversary of the launch of Guild Wars 2. It's a measure of just how long the game's been around that we can put a precise date on when it officially went Live.GW2 has to be...
bhagpuss 2020-07-08 23:12 Summer Forever: GW2 Unless I missed a memo, we still don't know who's in charge at ArenaNet. Let me re-phrase that: we know someone called John Taylor is "the (top) game director at ArenaNet" according to Massively OP, but we...

bhagpuss 2020-06-25 00:22 That's A Big Bag : GW2 Yesterday I was looking back at some old, unfinished plans. Today I went out and finished one. Didn't happen to be one of the ones on my list but, hey, you can't have everything.My intention was to knock off what I...
