Coincidence? Nah.

As soon as I start talking about burnout while waiting for Cataclysm, a few other MMO's decided this would be a perfect time to sink their teeth in. Both of these have just been made available for free (for now), so if you're looking for a change then now is a good time to browse.




Champions Online


They've just started a free week to celebrate their anniversary, so anyone can sign up and start playing without restrictions. Of course, jumping straight from a game as polished as WoW into Champions will be quite a shock to your system - but the real meat of the game lies in character creation:

These are the two characters I've created so far: Bloodmaw and Turner. All characters are completely customisable - there's no such thing as "classes" in Champions. You just make yourself a hero and go nuts.

Final Fantasy XIV Open Beta

Server: Rabanastre

Went into Open Beta status yesterday (translation: free until launch-day), however it's still somewhat difficult to get in as you'll need to grab a key and due to the literally overwhelming response Square-Enix have had so far they've had to periodically suspend new applications.


In a nutshell, you go here: http://entry.ffxiv.com/ and you keep trying until you get through (wait maybe an hour or two in between attempts).


So where the frick is Ahzae?


I'll likely be somewhere in between these three games (or buying a suit, don't ask). If you want to get a hold of me for any reason, I can always be reached at tobiasmasters@gmail.com.


Of course, if you feel like trying out either of these MMO (especially Champions) then drop me a line - Harms Way can take over a whole new game until Cataclysm! (Kidding btw, I'll be back :P)
