The Daily Grind: What do you think about experience scrolls?
With the holidays coming up, we'll have lots of options for purchasing goodies with all the holiday money that will soon be coming in from relatives. One of the options that's recently opened up in the EA Store for Warhammer Online is an item that will, for $10, allow you to skip a level in the game. Sure, it's an item that's already available for free as a reward for playing, but to some, the idea of putting a price tag on it and selling it changes the entire concept. In Greg's recent post about the EA Store, some players pointed out that purchasing bonus experience potions, scrolls, and the like is essentially the same as buying a level scroll. After all, the additional experience can get you an additional level (or more) -- only spread out over time. So, in light of that, we ask you: Do you think purchasing an immediate-level item like the Warhammer Online scroll is the same as getting a bonus experience buff? Does the fact that you still must play to "earn" the level via bonus experience influence your opinion? Is the price difference between a cheap potion and an expensive scroll your main sticking point? Are these experience scrolls over the line? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
EQ2 4-year veteran rewards revealed
If you're oldschool EverQuest II, and and by that I mean your account is oldschool, then some new rewards are coming your way. We learn from the EverQuest II Players site that four new veteran rewards will be available for those who created their accounts back in EQ2's earliest days.Two of the rewards are standard fare, similar to past years, potions that increase the experience gained for either tradeskilling or adventuring, Draft of the Wise and Draft of the Skilled. You will receive a total of three of each of these. Slightly more exciting is the Treasure Hoard. Placing this pile of loot in your house will result in a 25% discount on your coin rent, which will prove handy for those currently paying an arm and a leg every week.However, the last reward is probably the coolest of them all. Anyone who has visited Nektropos Castle (and if your account is old enough to be eligible for this reward, then you have) will recall the little dolls found there, in particular the one named Billy. Well, now you can transform into a Mystic Moppet Billy yourself. Apart from changing form, your size will also be reduced by 40%. Nothing screams "I'm a veteran!" like running around as a tiny moppet.These tangible rewards are accompanied by a new title to show off -- you will be able to stick "The Zealous" on the end of your name just to make sure that no one mistakes you for a newbie. Not a bad haul when all is said and done. Even the experience potions will come in quite handy with the upcoming Rise of Kunark release.
