24 Hours of WAR – Update 6, 5:00am – 9:00am

By Frank on October 19, 2008

Ok, so I lied. One more small update before I get to sleep. I’ll have much more detail later, but my little foray for charity ended up with a rank 18 Disciple, a lot of scenarios, a lot of grindage, and some funds to help children’s cancer research. All in all, a good day. And [...]

24 Hours of WAR – Update 5, 1:00am – 5:00am

By Frank on October 19, 2008

At this point in time, being coherent, much less communicative, is extremely difficult. It’s entirely possible if I was to receive a cut, caffeine would pour out of me and could be used for energy drinks. As for the Disciple, a great slowdown in leveling power due to lack of availability of people to play [...]

24 Hours of WAR – Update 4, 9:00pm – 1:00am

By Frank on October 19, 2008

What a difference a group makes. At the 12 hour mark, I managed to hook up with a group of people. Blazing through PQs and scenarios, I managed to gain a number of ranks and basically tear through a bunch of content. WAR’s group dynamics make things pretty easy – you can find open parties, [...]

24 Hours of WAR – Update 3, 5:00pm – 9:00pm

By Frank on October 18, 2008

So on a look and feel note I will try to put some screenshots in here to pretty things up. Sadly, I’m really typing off the top of my head and in addition to that, I’m obviously going to be working off of zero sleep, so these thoughts are going to be jumbled, tired, and [...]

By Frank on October 18, 2008

A little bit of a delay here just to get something to eat and drink, and here I am with update 2 of my 24-hour WAR marathon for Children’s Cancer Research for the Extra Life program. With my guildies signing offline, I was left on my own for the most part. As a result, I [...]

24 Hours of WAR – Update 1, 9:00am – 1:00pm

By Frank on October 18, 2008

Current rank: 7 4 hours in for 24 hours right now, putting me a 6th of the way though. I have had some normal game sessons go this long, so this really isn’t an issue for me. For this effort, I wanted to play a support class in honor of the fact that we’re trying [...]

Extra Life Update

By Frank on October 10, 2008

So, as some of you know, I will be participating in a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise money for children’s cancer research. As of this writing, I have no sponsors, but regardless of whether or not I get sponsors, I will be participating in this effort, as it is a worthwhile one. I would hope [...]

A Worthy WAR Cause

By Frank on September 17, 2008

So with all the release posts for WAR coming out, and with even the Developers getting excited about the inevitable release, I thought I would set aside the normal character of my posts to promote what is truly a “positive” cause. And WAR is going to be the vehicle for that cause.  So before all [...]
