We got the Ring of Scale expansion for EverQuest. And then, in a Friday bullet points post, I noted that Daybreak acquired Magic the Gathering Online, Crowfall had found a new owner, and Perfect World Entertainment had been embraced by the Embracer Group. I was also wondering what, if anything, came before PLEX in the industry. There was the Winter Nexus holiday event in New Eden, I commemorated a decade in null sec space, and I got my year in review video from CCP. My view of the state of New Eden was somewhat grim. But we did get the Winter Convergence event.Īnd then there was EVE Online, where CCP began inflicting the New Dawn permanent austerity plan on players. I was also feeling the pain of not allowing alts on a server. Meanwhile, our server was starting to decline, though not as much as some. The third time we managed to finish it off. The first run went poorly, and the second run ended without killing the final boss. Finding that got us to the Amrine Expedition. We were out to find that Azoth staff, needed for dungeons. The instance group was still playing New World. It seemed like a bargain and lots of fun despite not being the latest offering. Also, it was set in the UK and I wanted English (and Italian) cars. While Potshot and I had tried out Forza Horizon 5 on XBox Live, I went off and downgraded to Forza Horizon 4 on Steam, where it was on sale with all the DLC content.

But those were barely news compared to how much coverage the hint that they were making a Marvel superhero MMO was getting. It seemed a bad year for Blizz and I was wondering what the biggest blow to them was in 2021.ĮverQuest II got the Visions of Vertovia expansion while EverQuest got the Terrors of Luclin expansion. Then there was the WoW Community Council, where Blizz selected members that pretty much aligned with their own outlook. I was wondering what the FFXIV Endwalker expansion might do to WoW’s numbers.


There were end of year summaries where I wrote about how much time I spent on Reddit, what channels I was watching on Twitch, I reviewed the answers to my questions for 2021, and then there were the highs and lows of 2021. My daughter and I finally got the Pokemon remake we had been waiting for with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The new year will no doubt revert this momentary spike. So an uptick this month, but not exactly representative of the trend around here, which is all down hill. The middle finger, in the nicest possible way
