WRUP: No one's playing Team Fortress this week? Really?

By Elizabeth Harper

Another week has passed and left us with another weekend — all the more time to game in, of course! That means it's time (or past time) to start planning: with only 24 hours to a day and 2 days to a weekend and that pesky need to sleep occasionally... we need a solid plan of attack to maximize our gaming time. So what is Team Massively playing this weekend? Surprisingly enough, not FPS this week! But for the details — or to let us know what you're playing — you're going to have to read on.


  • Brendan Drain (@nyphur): In EVE Online, I was planning to test out a terribly overpriced Tengu and run some class 3 wormhole sites but a bizarre event cut our trip short. A ridiculously powerful spawn appeared, more powerful than anything we'd ever encountered in class 3, 4 or 5 systems. It quickly demolished each member of my fleet in turn, then engaged my Tengu as it fled. Although I narrowly escaped with 13% hull remaining, my ship was bugged and unable to use wormholes or activate modules. I filed a stuck petition and thankfully GMs quickly corrected the issue. After that bad omen, I think I'll spend this weekend playing some Runes of Magic.
  • James Egan (@jamesegan): Probably only two games, EVE and the beta-which-cannot-be-named. I don't think I'll have a lot of time in EVE this weekend, so likely I'll just run a few level 4's for some extra ISK, maybe head into wormhole space for another Sleeper run. I've got to say, the addition of wormhole exploration to the game is probably one of the best things they've pulled off in the time I've been playing EVE.
  • Krystalle Voecks (@Krystalle): I'm finally free from the huge cast, so I'll be catching up on tons of games I've had queued. So far as MMOs, I'll be spending time in Neo Steam, Cities XL, and hopefully EVE.
  • Kyle Horner (@kylehorner): After a long, long hiatus I'll be heading back into FFXI this weekend — only this time it's all going down on my Xbox 360. I also discovered the addicted demo for Dawn of Discovery, so I'll probably play that some more, too.
  • Lemuel Pew (@lemmo): I'm in the mood to play something, but I don't know what. Generally when this happens, I'll start with my classics and move up through the game generations, or I'll hunt out new independent titles. If all else fails, there's Free Realms.
  • Lesley Smith (@lesleysmith): Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Baking muffins. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Petting the cats. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Sleep. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion. Aion.
  • Shawn Schuster (@SSchuster): My weekend family gaming time will be spent in the Aion beta, Free Realms, and The Sims 3, depending on what the kids want to play.
  • Tracey John (@TraceyJohn): I'm following Kyle's idea: I think I'll give FFXI a whirl on the Xbox 360. I've been meaning to do that. I've also got an interview with Raph Koster while he's in New York City for the State of Play VI conference. Then on Father's Day, maybe I'll try to get my dad to play Free Realms!
  • William Dobson: I feel boring saying that I'll once again be on Warhammer Online... has it really been that long since I stuck with an MMO for a decent chunk of time?

Now tell us, what are you playing this weekend?
