Moving on.... still... back to where I began

 It's been a while since my last post, sorry, I guess the summer heat makes me lazy. I was enjoying UWO for a while but got tired of the long sailing times. Pity, really. After that I tried Jade Dynasty, which is free to play. It had some unique ideas but there was too much grinding, also was spending more money on Marketplace than I would have on a pay game. After realizing that, I decided to try Rift, which has been release recently. It is a paid subscription game which has some interesting features which appear to have some influence from some other games such as WoW and Warhammer, but aside from that failed to keep my interest. As of late I've decided to return to the game that I started playing MMORPG's with... Everquest, which surprisingly is not very well known to many online gamers. Being somewhat more difficult to play, I suspect that it is not a popular choice with younger players. For former players SOE is offering 45 days free for returning which is what prompted me to try EQ again.
 Also, I enjoyed the 1st season of HBO's Game of Thrones which is directly based on the Ice and Fire series of novels by George R.R.Martin. I am quite curious as to when season will be premiering and have not seen any news of that. Finally the 5th book in the series, A Dance with Dragons, is in the bookstores and I am currently halfway through my copy. It seems like so long since we've read anything about Arya... sigh.
 For those people who left nice comments on previous posts, I thank you. I was not quite aware of the extent of viewers I might be getting here.
