As always, statistics come from TempusGameIt though I will admit that a week or so of statistics are missing because I keep forgetting to start the program once my computer restarts. Normally I restart my computer very little, but we’ve had a few storms that knocked the power out, so it is what it is.
This month saw a huge shift in my gaming – all of the sudden Guild Wars 2 became my #1. There’s a number of reasons for that, really. I’ve been floundering a bit all over trying to find community in World of Warcraft (unsuccessfully, so far) and I had some definitive goals that I wanted to accomplish in GW2. One of those being, a legendary – which I did manage to obtain. I am still posting auctions over on WoW, but I really need to restock, which I have been procrastinating on.
There was a little bit of EVE in there – basically just me logging in for the Capsuleer Day rewards, and a tiny bit of FFXIV. After playing for a season or two I decided that I simply did not have the time to dedicate to this game. It’s hard on me physically (the forced dungeons / trials, etc) and I have no community over there either, so it felt like I was replacing one game for another with no different outcome.
In GW2 I also swapped over to the EU servers – this means the game is incredibly busy during my actual hours of play. I am not an evening person, so my play times tend to be sporadically throughout the day and end around midnight in the UK. Having so many people around has been amazing, and I like that I can just dip in, run a few boss fights, and leave if I have to. Getting in to the content is quick, unlike FFXIV where I waited for 2h for a DPS queue to pop when I needed a trial. Oof.
Anyway. There was no mention of Wurm Online, but I did dip in and play there too. I just didn’t have TempusGameIt running, so it wasn’t recorded. I have not been playing there much, I mostly just check and see that everything is still standing. I tend to wander back in the fall, so we’ll see if that holds true. I am also still waiting for EverQuest Legends to release to the public. I’m unsure about this one, but I think it will be a good thing for all involved.
Anyway, that was gaming for the month of May. Here’s hoping I can actually get more blog posts out in June. As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
