    Valheim is hottest new survival and exploration game.

    Valheim is a game about exploring a huge fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology and Viking culture. You start your adventure at the relatively peaceful center of Valheim. The further from the center you travel, the more challenging the world becomes. But you will also find more valuable materials that you can use to craft deadlier weapons and sturdier armor. You will also build your own Viking strongholds and outposts all over the world. Eventually, you will build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far...
    Key features:
    Huge procedurally-generated world - explore and inhabit mystical lands, from mysteriousforests to imposing snow-topped mountain ranges and stunning meadows, complete with their own creatures of legend to battle and wildlife to hunt. Co-op PvE (2-10 players) - - Whether you want to brave the lands alone or venture with trusted allies, Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and unlimited world creation. We recommend playing co-op with 3-5 players. Punishing dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons Build & sail ships - from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands. Summon and defeat vengeful primordial bosses of myth and legend, and collect trophies to progress and craft new powerful items Flexible house and base building system - raise mead halls, farms, settlements outposts, castles and more. Intuitive item crafting - forge the finest weapons and armour, and craft food and mead. Dedicated server- for players who want to run a persistent server. https://store.steampowered.com/app/892970/Valheim/

    Crypt Space Commander(CSC) A Space Sandbox MMO

    CSC is an open-universe, sandbox-style space MMO with a player-owned economy. Command starships and earn digital items to buy, sell, or trade without limits both inside and outside of the game universe. Experience a free-market Play-to-Own Economy that provides true ownership & freedom.
    Starships
    In CSC you, our Commander, can own and operate your very own starships. Starships come in all shapes and sizes and are specialized in either mining, combat, trade, or exploration. Starships in CSC can be endlessly customized with modules. Modules can add or upgrade existing ship functionality from shields and weapons to FTL drives.
    Economy
    Almost everything in the CSC universe can be crafted from resources openly available in the universe. The smallest shield module up to a universe-wide jump gate network can all be made with the right materials. Create new technology and share it freely for the good of the federation or sell it for the right price.
    Crafting
    The crafting system is uncapped, allowing players to continually improve on the quality of their crafted items. Specialization is encouraged by the CSC crafting mechanic, rewarding players for focusing on specific items & allowing them to create truly unique and valuable starship weapons or other components.
    Exploration
    Rules are merely suggestions in some parts of space. Areas under GFI protection do exist, and are open to explore and mine to your heart’s content, but the best loot is out there in Fringes of Space. Beware, dangers of all kinds are in the fringe: creatures, pirates, rogue Commanders, and faction governments. Those brave enough to venture deep into Fringe Space however will find an abundance of rare resources, larger bounties, and more lucrative quests.
    The Current Game State
    CSC is a game in development while in Beta with core game features implemented. As a starship Commander you can command your ship, explore 40+ star systems, mine for resources that can be used in manufacturing/workshop, combat NPCs for loot and resources, and play along with other Commanders on our LIVE MMO server.

    "Happy" Birthday...

    Ever feel unwelcome, unwanted, and alone? Ever felt all of these on what is usually for most, a happy day? Well, I'm feeling that right now!   Lets rewind a bit, give some backstory, shall we? I'm now 24 years old; when I was born the Hammer and Sickle was ceasing to fly, the US was busy in Gulf War One, and the Internet was still being used mostly by universities and governments. Hell, I can still remember Neopets, and the birth of Ebay. Of course, that was when I was still living with my b

    The Elder Scrolls Online - After 291 Hours

    291 Hours.   That is how long it took me to become of the Legendary Hero of the Daggerfall Covenant. To stop Molag Bal and save all of Nirn. To collect every single skyshard available to the Daggerfall Covenant. Every public dungeon. Group Dungeon. Solo Dungeon. Quest. World Boss. All those blasted Dark Anchors and Mage Guild books.   Did I mention I was the Emperor of Cyrodiil for a bit?   And now I get to do it all again in the Veteran Rank content.

    First things First......Character Creation Shadowbane is a PVP driven type of a game that your entire build and plan for your character will determine your ultimate success or failure. You start out by none other than character creation. This is a feat all in its own.

    The Elder Scrolls Online - The Best MMO of 2014 That No One Wants to Pay For

    So I've been in a few of The Elder Scrolls Online Betas. Three before the February 7th Beta.   I'll be honest... Those three didn't grab me. I created a character, hopped in, did a few quests... and logged out.   My background on why. TLDR: My perspective on MMOs had become such that I forgot I could do ANYTHING in these games, so was not playing them with the right mind.   So the Feb 7th TESO beta comes around.   Lets make a Templar.

    Desegregation - Breaking Through the "PvP Game" Myth

    <<This blog is intended for the Pathfinder Online community.>>   The "PvP Game" Myth   I'm sure you've all encountered it. You come into a new game where PvP is enabled, early on in the game someone kills you for absolutely no reason and shortly after you notice a PM "Welcome to (Game's Name)." The proponents of this type of play always say, "It's a PvP game, the point is to kill people." But is this really the intent? Does the ability to engage in Open World PvP automatically me

    Character Creation

    Character creation can be a holy experience. It is a virtual baptism, a chance to wipe the slate clean and attempt to rebuild yourself according to a direction you set. It's easy to get drunk on that sense of possibility.   The problem comes when you're an altaholic like me. Much like real alcohol dependency, you build up a tolerance. Each individual drink and each gaming reset builds your tolerance, makes the next hit a little less impactful. I tend to constantly reset, delete, reset, delete.

    What Happened to the MMO?

    I have played almost every MMO that has come out, be it the beta or a subscription for the last 16 years. My first was a little 2d gem called The Realm that was actually a lot of fun.     Then came what I feel is the MMO that started it all, it was not the first but in my option is still the best, UO. The only game to date that made me feel as I was part of a living breathing world. Others have tried but failed and most do not even come close or even try. It's sad and I blame it on the next

    What is 'Covenant of the Phoenix'?

    Back again, fellow Guildies. Last time I weighed you down with a lot of personal information about myself and promised you a more interesting read this time around. So I figured why not look at the guild as a whole instead of one ol' little member, hmm?   I'm not going to go too deep into the history of the Covenant, especially since that's already covered and way out of my time line. If you're curious about how Covenant of the Phoenix came to be, Throne has posted the first part of it's histo

    Hello, Phoenix Guildies!   Since I figured I got a bit of time on my hands, it's time to start working on a blog. Seems to be a fairly empty section of the site, which is a darn shame, considering I find this could be a handy way of getting to know your fellow guild mates outside of your own chapter.   So for our first entry here, I thought I might go ahead with introductions. Who I am, what I've done, and what you can expect from this.   My name is Alan, though I go under the online name

    September 2000 - Asheron's Call: Darktide     Throne, then known as "Ceraphim", met Oonagh, then "Audria" in the Gharundim desert town of Al Arqas where she swore fealty to the idealistic young warrior....and subsequently, the idea behind what would some day become the Covenant of the Phoenix was born.   Al Arqas was mostly known for a decent out of the way place to start a new character....and that was about it.
