I'm not sure whether this is me falling off the wagon, or climbing back on. But I think I'm going to be re-subbing to EQ2 at least for a month, I've been thinking about it a bit recently, I do miss the exploration and fun quests. I don't miss the repetitive looking gear (though I hear they've added more and the appearance slots help). So we'll see where it goes. I think my stint in CoH is over, I probably won't delve into superheroes again until Champions Online releases in September.

As you have recently read in Dan “Walrus” Myers producer letter All Good Things Must End, The Matrix Online service will be discontinued and the servers will go dark on July 31st. After 4 memorable years of sharing amazing stories and epic adventures with a wonderful and dedicated community, we saw how deep the rabbit hole went and it was time to write the final chapter of the story. We understand that there are many questions and will do our best to answer them here.

Crime Craft is a game that I learned about just recently, billed as an Online Persistent Shooter, it's played in third person perspective and based around a crumbled society now run by rival Gangs. The game focuses on the shooter element as well as customization and player-crafting. The game is designed to have "city" zones that are free of conflict mainly for socializing and mission gathering.

Who has the coin to shell out to try new MMO's all the time? I know I don't. And free trials seem to be few and far between. Cool thing is, older games come down in price, and now the prices are even lower, thanks to SOE and Steam partnering up to offer SOE's lineup of MMOs through Steam.
