Ragnarok Online March Newsletter

For those of you who used to play RO and haven't in a while, the March Newsletter is out with the following information:

First off, they've got new forums, which look pretty standard and similar to many other websites out there. They've also got a WoE point system (War of...?), although I'm not sure what WoE stands for. It looks to be some sort of guild point system which is determined by territory held. Last, we have a walkthrough for the Quest of the Gaebolg for those who have yet to complete it.

I do have to say that it's odd that their March letter has come out two weeks into April...but who knows, right? I never really got into RO, but I do know that enough people did, especially in Asia, that it spawned its own anime. And no, I'm not kidding.

Age of Conan Beta Signups

As I reported here, the Age of Conan beta signups have begun.

Let me just say...I'd love to be in. Granted, past history tells me that press are one of the last groups to get in (which makes sense due to NDA issues and such), but I still have hope. I've been interested in this game pretty much since it was announced, and got to see some of it back at E3. If the combat holds up, this is going to be one of the most interesting MMOs out there, even including World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, and Warhammer.

As soon as I can get my hands on the specs and requirements, I'll let you guys know. Man, I can't wait to get my new system. Only $850 (and 4 parts) to go, then the OS.
