I'm gonna need a bigger boat

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

My plan to stockpile minerals looks to be working at the moment. I have bought a fair quantity of most minerals at good prices and getting them back to my industrial base lets me run several production lines without running out of materiel. Of course, I will need ...

Holiday events make for poor achievements, and a couple of neat quests

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

I've been rather scathing of World of Warcraft's Northrend content recently, although it was partly owing to trudging through the quagmire of achievement-orientated and otherwise-pointless holiday events. Just as Winter Veil ends the Lunar Festival turns up, swiftly followed by Valentine's weekend. With so many holidays I need ...

Keeping busy

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

My desire to get a flying dragon, a different kind of Drake that I'll call a Tech II mount for this post, means I haven't been in New Eden terribly much recently, but that's not to say I haven't kept myself busy. I have a few more BPOs to ...

Grinding Netherwing faction in Wrath of the Lich King

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Getting a Netherwing drake is quite a bit easier now that Northrend has appeared. It's a good job, too, because when I migrated to a new server I wasn't sure if I had the constitution to replace the two I left behind on beloved characters. The promise of ...

Being productive

Friday, February 27th, 2009

There is an awful lot happening for me at the moment in EVE Online. My first batch of ME research is coming to fruition, which has plenty of consequences. The direct consequences are that it frees up my limited number of research slots, allowing me to install more ...

Trying to corner the market

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A capsuleer bought almost my entire stock of missiles that I had placed on the market, spending several million ISK to do so. Shortly afterwards, a huge cache of the same missiles was placed on the market in the same station but with a significant price increase. I could kick ...

And nothing of value was lost

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

My guild was hoping to get another instance run going at the weekend, at about the same time as my death knight was running around for the Wyrmrest Accord and gaining 75th level. With four players on-line with characters 75th or above we start planning, everyone keen to try ...

Will grind for dragon mount

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I haven't kept it much of a secret that I have found the level-based restrictions and pointless content-unlocking quest chains rather frustrating, to the point where I am enjoying my own corner of nostalgic glee in grinding for the Netherwing Drake. Melmoth heeds my disatisfaction, 'Lo, if you want ...

Arbitrary snapshot of history

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Those charming fellows with the British accents over at Killed in a Smiling Accident tagged me to post the sixth picture in my screen grabs folder. I was hoping for an interesting and stimulating trip down memory lane as I worked my way to the sixth image in my World of ...

I sometimes feel like a non-profit organisation

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Currently in EVE Online I have a plan. Yea, it is a good plan, as it has a short-term goal that not only doesn't encroach on my previous aims but encourages me to spend more time in New Eden, in order to make enough profit to afford the new ...
