Kristin's Adventures in MMOLand Episode 2

Well today seems to be a slow news day in MMOLand. Aion is having their several week long Shugo Event, EQ2 is prepping for Age of Discovery, DCUO is excited for Lightning Strikes, and WoW is all 4.3 and Mists of Pandaria right now. All which I've posted about already.

I've been spending a lot of time streaming games on TwitchTV. I'm brand new to it but it's given a whole new enjoyment to the games I play. I find streaming WoW I get the most viewers, I guess because it's so popular or perhaps because I was also streaming my webcam while playing for a bit which seems to make rooms a bit more popular when they can see the person playing. I also get a decent bit when I stream DCUO because it's now F2P and people are just getting into it and want to see what it has to offer. I don't get many viewers when streaming EQ2 or Aion. Perhaps because they are games with lower populations. That will hopefully change once EQ2 goes F2P next month.

And yes, I did go back to Aion this week. Writing this blog made me miss it. I've been leveling a gladiator character. She's quite a change from my ranger but definitely a lot of fun. I think I may even enjoy playing gladiator most. My ranger is very demanding. Always have to be moving, kiting, stunning. Gladiator is more "stand there and smack it" which can be enjoyable in it's own way.

Not sure how long I'll stick around Aion this time. Most likely just for the month and then when WoW 4.3 comes out I may hop back over there. Last night I picked my high 70s paladin back up in WoW while my account is still active for a couple more days. I had a look at the Season 11 armor which should be coming out with 4.3 and paladins will now have the coolest PvP armor or in my opinion some of the best armor overall in the game. No more power ranger paladins. All of my current 85 characters' sets are terrible (Druid, Priest and Shaman). I'm so sick of horns, thorns, fangs, and planks of wood or just plain boring priest gear. Transmorgification could help me resolve the issue but I really like the new paladin stuff. So we'll see which road I end up choosing.

Have fun in MMOLand!
