Finding the best waste of my time.


This is a blog detailing my experiences and thoughts on different Free2Play MMOs. A long time semi-casual ex-WoW player, I find myself wandering the interwebz in search of a true high-quality MMO to occupy my gaming addiction. Then it occured to me that I'm not the only one.

The main games I'm covering here are Lord of the Rings Online and Allods Online. Basically it's my personal reviews/ratings of the games' different aspects as well as a "quest log" to ensure I make enough progress to really get a feel for each game, and to eventually choose between them.

I may also post thoughts/musings on other upcoming games I'm considering playing, such as TERA, Star Wars: ToR, The Secret World, Guild Wars 2 and Continent of the Ninth.

First!

My name is Dylan and this blog is for myself to record my experiences searching for the right free MMO for me. I had played WoW for 4+ years as a semi-casual raider (read: I missed a lot of scheduled raids because life > games). I've played many of the "quality" f2p MMOs on the market right now, and I'm pretty dissatisfied with the "booming and overflowing free-to-play market". Indeed there are many out there, but 80% are just ports of popular Asian MMOs with lazy translating/localization and even lazier/greedy companies.

There are a few games I'm waiting for and will check out upon release, including TERA, Continent of the Ninth, Secret World, and Guild Wars 2. As of now these don't concern me, but I may post my thoughts on their respective updates.

The two MMORPGs I'm flip-flopping between at the moment are Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO) and Allods Online.

In the following posts I will give a basic overview of each game, what I do or don't like about it, and my goals to enhance my experience of the game so I can really see how each game plays out.
