Snaffy's Space | MMO Fansites

Wow, things have been pretty quiet around here lately haven't they?

What is a personal blog? To me it's a nice soapbox where I can say things I want to say and people can comment on them. Lately, I just haven't had the time. Well, I've had the time, but I've been prioritizing that time a bit differently. There are four main things that are keeping me from posting:

Massively.com -- This is where I get most of my creative juices flowing. I usually post here first if I have a brainwave on something.
AionLevelingGuide.com -- This new project has been taking up a lot of my time as well. I'm scouring the web for free guides and personally reviewing pay-for guides to share with the interwebs. Protip -- there's money in affiliate marketing.
Actually playing Aion -- For the past six months I've basically been homeless as an MMO player, which meant I had lots of free time. Since Aion launched I've been spending a lot of my hobby time in-game (Snafzg the Asmodian assassin of Havok on Lumiel if you care).
Twitter -- Ugh, yeah I got kind of sucked in. While far from an addiction, I do find it quite handy to post micro-snippets of thoughts I have to share. Usually, these aren't worthy of a full blog post.

So there you have it. I went from playing WAR and blogging about it on theGreenskin.com to getting a job with Massively, starting up a new income-generating side project, playing a new MMO, and finding quick release in Twitter. That's pretty much why this blog has been languishing. Heck, Syp has been trying to get me involved in a podcast for weeks now and I'm just not able to work it in with all that + RL responsibilities.

I'm always going to keep this blog alive but things might remain a bit quiet around here for some time.

Sorry for the lack of posts around here. Summer = less time on the computer = less time for gaming = all my good ideas going to Massively! :P

Case in point, I have been taking a trip back into the world of Warhammer Online and I'm writing a weekly journal about my impressions called "Snafzg returns to WAR!" I'm up to part three now and it will be a five part series. Next week I plan to cover my continued adventures back in T4 Phoenix Throne as well as my impressions of the Wild Hunt live event. The final week will be more of a final impressions piece. What has changed for the better? What has stayed the same? What has gotten worse? Basically, what's the state of the game based on my opinion.

To be honest, I've been having a fairly decent time so far. I'm still in search of a good guild, which I think is a key factor in the enjoyment of MMOs, especially for a game like WAR. You can only do so much on your own and in PuGs. You don't really get the full experience without a guild and I'm not sure how many of the goals I'll be able to check off from my list without one.

Interesting stuff anyway.
