Last night I came to the end of a long(ish) rep grind and obtained my well-deserved prize:
[Reins of the Purple Netherwing Drake]
After a brief period of celebration, I am wondering what to do next.

It seems that the new content in the Sunwell Isle patch was just too much for me to resist, so I have once more returned to World of Warcraft. No doubt I will get fed up with it again and leave again, only to return again when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. And thus the cycle will continue until one of us is dead.

Every so often I get a small surge of creativity which enables me to dismantle someone else’s work and twist it to my own nefarious purpose. In the latest of this irregular series, I present: the Bioshock gamercard sig.
Uses my gamercard parser thing to dynamically update the score, and stuff. Nothing particularly special, perhaps, but I like it.

So I’m back on the WoW train. Pulled back in by the new expansion and enjoying it rather a lot more than I was expecting to – they’ve fixed a lot of the things that annoyed me about it the last time I played, and there seems to be more to do at most of the places in the world I’ve visited since rejoining.
And Outland is very, very pretty. Huge landscapes, swirling streamers of energy in the skies, and sheer drops into nothingness at the edges. All very epic.
So, seems like the MMO that got me back in to MMOs was the one that I got annoyed with and left in the first place. Just goes to show, er, something.

So, Vanguard, then. Will this be the game that rekindles my love of all things Massive and Multiplayer? So far, no. The crafting stuff seems more involved, which is a good thing, but I haven’t got far enough to be able to do any of it yet so I don’t know how that pans out. All the low level quests are of the form “kill x of these/kill these and collect y of those” which are, of course, very familiar.
And it’s not as pretty as WoW, but then so few things are. It does apparently have weather systems which move around the world like what real weather systems do, but I haven’t seen any yet.
