Reverse progress...

...Is not the same as, uhm, regress or degress? I digress. This weblog started out as a sort of report on how my cold-turkey WoW rehabilitation was going to develope. As it turned out, after two weeks of rather interesting entries, the addiction was gone, conquered, defeated. So much for that. I still have very little desire to come back to WoW, or it would have to be to troll the Shattered Halls forum.

So with Wow out of the way, things got boring rather quickly. I rekindled my interest in Oblivion and powered through the first 10-12 levels on two or three characters. I picked up Morrowind, one of my all-time favourites and added some flavour through mods. All nice enough, but something was missing.

Other people. As much as I like to sustain that I'd rather be a complete recluse, gaming online with other people is just...fun. Especially when it's pvp, and they are on the opposite side getting their faces smashed in. Maybe that's not so social. But it does require other people.

So there I sat, one afternoon, tired of Oblivion, lounging in front of my pc deciding what to do. I looked at any software I could delete, just to relieve the boredom. At the end of the list was this program called "Warhammer Age of Reckoning".

Hello. What's this?

I bought the game months ago for my birthday. I had played it too for a while and noticed the potential. But it was maybe a month after it was released, and it suffered from severe graphical glitches. My pc wasn't up to it, and the interference with the gameplay was just to much so I had let my sub run out and had left it at that. Just to see what was going on with the game, I went to the site, only to find out they were offering trial accounts.

What the hell, why not.

  1. How it looks on blog:
    "Especially when it's pvp, and they are on the opposite side getting their faces smashed in."

    How it really happens:
    Rayl has defeated Vandobben in a duel.

    But mate, log on MSN some night, we got some catching up to do.

  2. There is quite a difference between WoW pvp and WaR pvp.

    I can't remember WoW pvp ever being fun, for one.

  4. That could very much be the case, yes. But as I'm not going to play WoW anymore, it doesn't really matter ^^
