Do you or someone you know have a cloning lab? Because I may need one in order to keep up with all the beta tests and game updates hitting my computer all at once.
I'm a long-time World of Warcraft player, but recently I've lapsed from playing. Cataclysm isn't as interesting to me, now, and many of my guildies have moved on to raiding guilds, other games or are taking a break. But I've kept my account current for the year-long commitment that would guarantee me a spot in the Mist of Pandaria expansion and a free copy of Diablo III. I check in from time to time so keep my main active, but that's basically it.
And then Blizzard sent me my Mists beta invitation.
Let's take a step back. Meanwhile, I've been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic (or SWTOR for short) since, well, two days before the game officially launched--I signed up for the early release kind of late. I've been frustrated by the lack of, and greatly anticipating the introduction of the game's Legacy system--a way to tie your characters together in-game, and earn rewards for playing a variety of characters.
And I've been stopping in to update my characters' costumes and builds on Champions Online--a supers MMORPG with particularly great character creation.
Last week, Bioware finally updated SWTOR and introduced their Legacy system. The day after, Cryptic Studios updated CO with a major overhaul to stats, equipment, crafting, and a host of other systems. The day after that, Blizzard sent me an email inviting me to download and playtest the DIII beta.
Oh, I almost forgot. After all of this, a Galaxy-wide game event started in SWTOR yesterday.
I'll be posting in the next few days about my thoughts on all of these games and updates. I just wanted to break the surface and take a deep breath first.
