What the F.O.K?

What the F.O.K?

The ground is soaked in the tears of rogues as 3.2.2 is released with this little gem.
Fan of Knives: The damage done by this ability has been reduced by 30%
The nerf is causing the normal qq on the forums as thousands of rogues claim they will quit W.O.W once and for all. Now I am [...]

Baby’s First Goldseller Spam

Baby’s First Goldseller Spam

Oh honey look! Poopie is taking his first steps – at trying to sucker money out of me. Don’t buy gold people, don’t buy kinah either. With any game (especially a new one) you’re going to get the bottom feeders trying to push their own agenda.

I’ll tell you one thing though, they might be a [...]

Hey Patch 3.2.2 comes out today…

Hey Patch 3.2.2 comes out today…

Ok so the latest WoW patch is out today. I don’t get how you can have an anniversary event in the patch that’s at least 2 months premature. But then again, Activison-Blizzard right? Anyway here are the patch notes for 3.2.2.

World of Warcraft PTR Patch 3.2.2
The latest test realm patch notes can always be found [...]

Cataclysm Environments: The Abyssal Maw

Cataclysm Environments: The Abyssal Maw

Azeroth’s native elementals wreaked havoc across the world while they were under the influence of the Old Gods.
To keep Azeroth safe from these threats, the titans imprisoned the Old Gods underground and banished the savage elementals to the titan-constructed Elemental Plane, a secure dominion where the elementals could dwell without harming Azeroth.
Four domains were created [...]

Aion Video Podcast Episode 4: The Aion Global Community

Aion Video Podcast Episode 4: The Aion Global Community

Lani is a lot of fun to listen to. Don’t misunderstand, I’m actually not perving out at the moment. It’s refreshing to see people passionate and really fulfilled by their creations. I know that some Blizzard developers don’t play WoW as much as they’d like to.
Coolest thing that stood out for me in that video [...]

J. A. Hates – Issue 1: Pwn-a-dins

J. A. Hates – Issue 1: Pwn-a-dins

I tried being a nice guy, but it’s just not in my nature. I hate a lot of things and it’s time I started telling my adoring public about some of them. In this case since we are talking MMO’s, I will keep it focused on that.
In this inaugural issue we will cover one of [...]

Aion Head-start: Butt-hurt and Blasphemy

Aion Head-start: Butt-hurt and Blasphemy

Cliche time, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. These here might just be a few hundred. Enjoy~

First you have to wait. I got into the server in about 20 seconds in the early afternoon, then I had to log off for a bit. Big mistake.

These 3 images are from me and Nycterra [...]

My Aion: Other games could learn a lesson…

My Aion: Other games could learn a lesson…

This whole “My Aion” system is pretty robust and incredible. With your Aion game account you have access to an entire arsenal of features and services that enhance the game when you’re offline. I mean sure ok the whole Armory thing is fine for fueling forum wars, but there really isn’t any real functionality that [...]

The Fapp: Gilmore a Go Go

The Fapp: Gilmore a Go Go

Been a while since the last Fapp post so let’s ease on into it again shall we? I promise to be gentle. So in lieu of enormous chests and round downright fantastical posteriors, here’s some candy for the imagination. I mean, who didn’t want to bang the Gilmore Girls?
Alexis Bledel’s a fashion model and actress. [...]

Stupid lawsuits run rampant against MMO companies

Stupid lawsuits run rampant against MMO companies

See, now this is just stupid. I saw the article originally on the Aion Tower and could barely believe it. It seems that any asshole can file a lawsuit and have a case these days. You know, I could end my money problems in a heartbeat, all I need to do is get in on [...]

How to get your Aion Pre-order items

How to get your Aion Pre-order items

Aside from access to the closed and open beta tests as well as the preselect and this head-start session, you get a bunch of in game items for pre-ordering Aion. Here are the instructions on how to get them.
ATTENTION: You will need to follow these steps for each new character you create in order for [...]

Aion’s directional combat system, a breath of fresh air

Aion’s directional combat system, a breath of fresh air

By popular demand/request, I want to shed some light on how PvP combat in Aion can branch out and how the directional combat system pretty much cinches the fact that the Abyss is going to be a lot of crazy fun.
One thing I like about PvP is the unpredictability for the most part of fighting [...]

New Aion Launch Details: NO GAMEGUARD!

New Aion Launch Details: NO GAMEGUARD!

RARE FRIDAY POSTS WOO!

So check this out, I’m happy as can be right now. Nothing could make this day any better. It was recently (last night) announced that the launch version of Aion for the NA/Eu markets will NOT have Gameguard installed or present at all. There are also a few other little changes but [...]

Confessions of a Keyboard Turner

Confessions of a Keyboard Turner

So I received this e-mail the other day and I don’t know why because I didn’t really join SpoonCraft to be helpful, but rather to make fun of people, but hey, if God gives you lemons you find a new God.
Hi J.A.
I have been reading your articles on SpoonCraft and after seeing the one about [...]

Aion to have player Armory and Official Forums

Aion to have player Armory and Official Forums

As if launch itself wasn’t reason enough for excitement, NCsoft has announced a list of enhancements to the Aion experience. A player search database with tons of features and such akin to the WoW Armory which is doubly nice in Aion with the Abyss Ranking system.
Official Forums are kind of messy and if history has [...]

Aion Update: Spirit Master Pets will fly

Aion Update: Spirit Master Pets will fly

I sincerely doubt this feature will be included with the NA/EU retail of the game as it just entered the testing phase for the Korean test servers, but Spirit masters will be happy when it gets the green light.
As things stand now, Spirit Master pets follow their owners on the ground and if the player [...]

Aion Pre-select & Headstart programs detailed

Aion Pre-select & Headstart programs detailed

Not quite sure if I posted this already but…
From the Aion Online home page:
Aion’s release is right around the corner, and our anticipation is running high! The beards and hairstyles of the character creator are groomed and lined up, jostling against each other in eagerness to be picked for your characters in this coming weekend’s [...]

XT-002 – U R Bad Toys (Voletron remix)

XT-002 – U R Bad Toys (Voletron remix)

O.K. so you know I’m here to bring you a different side of World of Warcraft and MMO’s in general, well it doesn’t get any more different than this:

In case you didn’t know, XT-002 Deconstructor is the fourth raid boss in Ulduar raid. He directly blocks the entrance into the lower level of Ulduar in [...]

The more things change… (on alts)

The more things change… (on alts)

I was thinking today as I spent a little time getting my Warrior alt (that’s the 5th now) to Lv 25. A lot has changed. I haven’t really taken the time to go back through the old photo album so to speak, and revisit all the places I first leveled. I started playing this game [...]

WoW Cataclysm: The Abyssal Maw

WoW Cataclysm: The Abyssal Maw

A new feature was published to the WoW Cataclysm website, this time it’s talking about the Abyssal Maw which is the watery elemental plane where supposedly Neptulon resides. Neptulon (the Tidehunter) just so happens to have in his possession a great weapon that can control the very seas of Azeroth itself and as things stand [...]
