"Was good to RvR again, but I like a lot more to do in a game than scenarios. I hope they balance it out more in the future."

Characters:

Gack, Level 21 Greenskin Goblin Squig Herder —

Morreion, Level 22 High Elf Archmage —

"Age of Conan needs work, but has potential. The curse of an early release seems to be standard these days."

Server: Wiccana

Characters:

Aluric, Cimmerian Bear Shaman — Aluric is my main character on the unofficial RP PvE server Wiccana. I like hybrid characters!

Andrast, Aquilonian Ranger — My RP-PvP server character. What am I getting into...

"Not a bad MMO really, but something didn't 'click' with me there. Perhaps the art direction, or a lack of an overall thematic feel..."

Server: Antonia Bayle

Characters:

Arthanos, Human Swashbuckler — I always wanted to play a dual-wielding character!

"Definitely a change of pace which is good with the FPS type play, but weak in the MMO department. I don't think it will do well with a monthly subscription fee unfortunately."

"My favorite MMORPG community- what a great game it was."

Server: Nimue

Guild: Hounds of Morrigan

Characters:

Brannad, Level 48 Celt Druid — Brannad was a fierce, protective Druid, loyal to his own (2004).

Caddan McClannad, Level 25 Paladin — Caddan was an insufferable self-centered blowhard, a proud Highlander, always jesting. What a tremendous amount of fun to play! (2003)

Elendion, Level 45 Elf Enchanter — Elendion was a Siabra, and a rather complex character who didn't really know himself who or what he was. Played him mostly in 2004.

Gack BladeSong, Level 50 Firbolg Warden — Probably my favorite MMO character. Created in 2002, he hit 50 in around 8 months or so. Wardens had lots of utility, something I'm fond of to this very day. Hit Master Level 10 on him, never thought I'd get there, but it finally happened.

Kirth Gersen, Level 49 Cleric — My first RP character, Kirth was a happy-go-lucky Highlander who loved to drink (imagine that!). He goes back to 2001.

Navarth, Level 24 Friar — Navarth was a troubled soul, on the brink of madness. A friar who had lost his beliefs.

Rhiam, Level 50 Lurikeen Mentalist — Little Rhiam, the Mana Menty. Hyperactive, emotional, fun. He dinged 50 while dead in Fomor City- a funny story! He leveled up in 2003.

Taranon, Level 49 Celt Bard — Taranon was my first Hibernian character I created on Nimue in 2002. He sang ironic ditties about his fellow groupmates, and always had an eye out for the ladies. A smooth-talker.

"Stunning visuals, atmospheric. Best semi-afk game I ever played :-) Never got intense about it though."

"Great idea, too bad it didn't work out better. Was fun for a time. If SOE would have done a subscriptionless pay model I bet it would have done much better."

"Good atmosphere, looks great, well-done lore. Too quest-oriented is the only real criticism I can come up with. Good game, well-done!"

Guild: The Traveler's League

Characters:

Andhelm, Race of Man Captain — Andhelm wandered alone in the lands around Bree.

Reynald, Race of Man Hunter — Reynald is a Hunter / Historian alt.

Taranon, Level 50 Race of Man Guardian — Taranon is taking his time seeing the sights in Middle Earth. He's an Explorer, in the crafting sense and also in the regular sense- and is a Grand Master in Prospecting & Forestry. He hit 50 in 6 months, and certainly was in no hurry.

"So much potential wasted. The original game was quite good and reminded me of UO in certain ways. Needed some refining, but the more they changed it the worse it got. Tragic."

Characters:

Glawen Etzwane, Human Elder Carbineer — Master Scout / Master Artisan back in the good old days. Sigh.

"UO started it all for me. Still has good features that no other game has managed to copy. We need more games like it."

Characters:

Fafhrd, — My 4xGM Swordsman- ahh, the early days!

"It's tragic seeing how close this game came to being really good. Performance issues and premature release buried what is an interesting world."

Server: Seradon

Guild: The Travelers League

Characters:

Aluric Hadaul, Level 23 Varanjar Druid — Druids in Vanguard- a fun class. Loads of utility and can do some damage as well.

Morreion Endara, Thestran Human Warrior — I haven't often been a pure tank class!
