As previously mentioned, the resident lucky bastard in Inquisition, Megummi, found a Villa deed inside a chaos chest recently, and last night five of us set out to find a spot to place it. Four epic hours, miles of Agon … Continue reading →

The NA server had its busiest night to date yesterday, with VAMP/NEM (and basically the whole server) being involved in two city sieges. The first (Kvet) was our siege, the second (Mam) we were hired to help take. We failed … Continue reading →

What I REALLY meant to say regarding content.

Posted on December 18, 2009 by SynCaine

It’s funny that in the wall of text below, I never actually got to what I originally meant with my line of “DF has had more content added in a year than WoW has in 5”. The straw man Tobold … Continue reading →

You call THAT content?

Posted on December 18, 2009 by SynCaine

Now this might be a first; Tobold starting Friday Blog Wars? Who is this guy, and where has the real Tobold/Gevlon gone? The funny thing about all of this is we are going by ‘numerical’ measure of content, as if … Continue reading →

Posted on November 30, 2009 by SynCaine

Sunday night saw VAMP and co (the alliance either has no name, or the name changes on a daily basis, so I’ll just refer to our side as VAMP going forward) siege another TRA city on Yssam. While there was … Continue reading →

Are you sure that’s really an expansion?

Posted on November 20, 2009 by SynCaine

In the comments of a previous DarkFall-related post here, the question of whether the next update should be considered a patch or expansion was brought up. Now I’ve already written what pushed the update from patch to expansion for me … Continue reading →

I am, in fact, paid by Aventurine to promote DarkFall

Posted on November 17, 2009 by SynCaine

It’s been joked around here that because I talk so highly of DarkFall, I must be paid by Aventurine or just Tasos directly. While that is sadly not the case (feel free to contact me though Tasos), today is the … Continue reading →
