We’re still alive, but in the last 15 – 20 days or so we never managed to find a group again. Adelah once grouped with somebody, but only for twenty minutes. I’m finding it hard to reserve the 1 – 2 hours of time it takes in one stretch to accomplish something. I can see [...]

How dual-boxing came to be?
Posted in Game Design on May 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It’s very slow for us game-wise right now since we are moving to a new apartment and enjoying some time in nature, away from laptops and unhealthy gaming habits. So here is a thought I wanted to write about earlier. I’m still somewhat amazed by the number of people dual-boxing in Shards of Dalaya. But [...]
How to tell us apart
Posted in Various on May 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Just a heads-up. I’m not longer alone writing this blog, since I’ve pestered my girlfriend to write about her experiences in the game as well (see other postings along that line). In the land of dual-boxing, it’s probably not that common to sea a duo controlled by two real people, but yes, here we are, [...]
Fishing
Posted in Ayba, Ayba's Characters on May 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We’ve gotten us each a fishing rod and spent some time fishing at the sea. After the first five trillion times of “You didn’t catch anything” or “You have lost your bait” I actually did manage and was successful – fish scales. Yay. But how would some (surely dead) fish scales be able to actually [...]
How to make a fool out of yourself – or how to let everyone know you’re a newbie, Part 1
Posted in Ayba, Ayba's Characters, Various on May 4, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Well, since this is the first time I’m playing a different game than World Of Goo, Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime or Boulder Dash, it is not difficult to make mistakes. But making three serious ones in half an hour time or so is even a record for me. So, we went to the Warrens [...]
An interview with the person behind Ayba
Posted in Ayba, Ayba's Characters, Various on May 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I am working hard to convince my girlfriend to also write about her experiences in Shards of Dalaya. Her character is Ayba, the little halfling druid that you see in the vicinity of Oric most of the time. Since Shards of Dalaya is her first MMO and to introduce her to you guys, here’s a [...]
The (kobold) king is dead
Posted in Oric, Ramón's Characters on May 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The kobold king is dead — long live all those others, because they’re walking exp bubbles, and nice to pass the time between spawns. Taste delicious, too. Ayba and I were fishing at the Newport docks and waiting for the boat, because we planned to go to Erudin and then to the Warrens to see [...]
New theme
Posted in Various on May 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I had to switch to a new theme because the old one didn’t show post authors. That means, yes, there might be an additional author helping me update this blog Not hard to guess who. I’ll be customizing the theme a little if I find the time, but for me it’s mostly the content that [...]
