A weekend without AoC?

Currently i can't make up my mind on what to do this weekend! On the one hand, my back hurts like hell, i don't really have alot of money to spend due to alot of bills and spoiled nephiews who want's x-mas gifts, on the other hand i was sitting home last weekend and did absolutley nothing (except for AoC of course). In addition, a friend of mine who happens to be a girl and 21 years old wanted to bring a few girlfriends over for a pre-party.

So either im:

Not AoC-related

This is not AoC-related, i know, but it's my latest project at work!

Minigames are fun


So i might suck in 1 vs 1, but im pretty good in minigames...

Need practise!

I'm not so good in 1 vs. 1 PvP as i recently thought. Efter a few 1 on 1:s in Keshetta (which im still opposed to!) i got my ass kicked so many times i left. Wierd thing is that i have started losing just recently, a few weeks back i stood my ground really well.

I guess i have to duel even more, and thereby defend myself verbally from standing in the duelgrounds looking at people, drinking tea and being lame.

From Russia with love!

On monday russian guild Celestial burned Nova Krepusko's keep to the ground. The "battle" took place at 9 am in the morning, a time of the day when most of the troops from NK are at work. Celestial brought 18 people where NK could defend with 6. What an epic battle it must have been! Surley something to brag about on the forums, eh?

So am i bitter? Not really. After all, NK burned down an empty SCUM-keep, and it's our own fault that we put up the time 9 am (which in fact was a mistake, our leader which was the one responsible for signing for/against keeps recently quit).

The Celestial keep will burn soon enough.

So who are Celestial really? I got ahold of a clip from Celestials high-school in Kreml:

Protect my balls!

Last night NK and Condamned ventured into Black Ring Citadel again, and again it was Wing 1. Excorant went down in the first try (!) which is a great success for us.

After that it was time for Yarekma. For the people who doesn't know, in the Yarekma fight you have to have four people which are to press a couple of globes at the same time, in order for Yarekma to calm down and do less damage. These globes are also known as balls. Imagine all the penis-related jokes you can derive from this fight:

When Yarekma enrages, he grows big (literally). In order to calm him down you have to rub the balls. You have to be quite experienced to rub these balls, cause it won't work with virgins (that hasn't done the fight before).

If this wasn't enough, between these balls there's a huge, penis-looking statue.

Speaking of balls, watch this:

Politics!

In my previous MMO's ingame politics hasn't really been an issue that has affected the general gameplay. Perhaps because many of those MMO's didn't have the element of PvP as AoC has, perhaps because those MMO's had a much younger target audience than AoC has.

Anyways, right now there's so much political bullshit on Aquilonia it's really starting to influence the general gaming experience in a bad, yet interesting, way.

The bad way is that you can't kill the people want to without hearing tons of whines about it. On a more interesting note, the current political situation can be used as a tool to lie and decieve, to create illusions and to create confusion. This is quite effective to piss people off beyond belief. Its extra-special fun when you can read about it on the forums the day after, where everyone is arguing their own and their guilds cause.

These stupid forum argument, it's a class of their own really. I read a survey somewhere stating that most of the internet arguments taking place on a forum, especially when it comes to MMO-games, always tend to relate to the second world war and the nazi-regime.

We all know, however, that:
