My adventures generally take place in Norrath (EverQuest) but I also have several games that I play "on the side" as it were. Lord of the Rings Online I very much enjoy for the depth of story and the visuals of the world that I've loved for so long. I have had an on again off again relationship with Kingdom of Loathing, which is now in an 'on' phase. Very fun(ny) and interesting web-based game. Lots of things to occupy your time there.
This weekend, while reading through some other blogs out there, I noticed that there is an Age of Conan 7 day trial available, and since it was one that LOOKED good, but I'd heard mixed reviews on, I thought I should trouble myself to take a peek. I'll try to post with my views on how the days go, although I may not play every day, and we'll see how it stacks up to the other things that I play!
Day 1: Got the trial key, account got set up, started download. Quick easy little installation and a pretty loading screen for the Updater. Hmm ... seriously long download times for the trial and it's not even getting the whole game? 9GB of data. Really? For the TRIAL?!?! The updater is saying 18+ hours to download it, but I doubt it'll take that long, I've got a decent pipe and I can let it run all night for off peak performance increase.
Day 2: Still downloading. Yeah, this is ridiculous. Why can I not just download the whole bleedin' thing to begin with rather than be subjected to a tortuously slow updater that is going to download it all anyway? Not pleased so far. Maybe it'll actually play sometime tonight?
more to come...
