Last night was fun; hung out with [livejournal.com profile] batelf, [livejournal.com profile] bacony and her The Boy ([livejournal.com profile] pit_fishes), saw The Incredibles again, noticed some things I hadn't before (like all the Gazerbeam references before you find out where he actually is), saw the first disk of Firefly again, saw the Peacekeeper Wars all the way through for the first time.  A most excellent evening.

Katy and The Boy have the same smile, which is eerie.

My City of Heroes subscription will be up for renewal in a week or two and I do not think I will be renewing it.  I have not, after all, played it more than a couple of times in the last month or two.  I will miss the tangential contact with [livejournal.com profile] mrssshhh and [livejournal.com profile] arwel, as well as the prettiness and laxor cannons, but I think most of all I will miss the character genrator.  To be honest, though, the futility of it all was starting to get to me.  Get a mission, shoot some bad guys, get another mission, shoot some more ... all that really changes is the scenery.

That said, maybe now I'm actually in Manchester, where my games machine resides, I'll use it more ... or maybe I'll just quit until I have a firm job again.  What happens when you cancel your subscription, do they delete your characters or just put them on hold?

Ewan, Karen & Al all seem pretty taken with it. Lots of quest-based stuff ought to make things fun, too.

I'd be trying to find my old DAoC friends on a roleplay server if I do try it. Maybe we could give it a try in January - after all, it's only 25 quid and that's for a full month of seeing if we like it.

WoW is all about the PvP from what I've seen, and it really doesn't float my boat. That and the servers being totally lagged to fuck at launch - it doesn't fill me with confidence.

Ah, so that's where they've gone, the little scamps.

Also...

I think online RPGs should have PvP, at some point you're going to want to do something other than grind out levels. PvP looks reasonably well implemented in WoW.

The thing that puts me off trying EQ2 is the possibility of it all devolving into spawn camping and an endless level grind. I may give it a look, if no one else jumps on WoW.

Still not finished

Another thing in WoW's favour is that you get giant war goats.
