WRUP: Who needs to go outside edition

By Elizabeth Harper

With so many delicious gaming options available, we have to agree with Tracey's conclusion: who needs to go outside? Virtual life is often by far the more exciting — though we are all curious about this RL outdoor instance Krystalle is talking about. Either way, it's safe to say that this weekend the Massively staff is getting into as much trouble (virtually, of course) as is possible in the space of two tiny days. So, without further ado, read onward to see what the Massively team is playing — and to tell us what you're playing!

  • Brendan Drain (@nyphur): Once I grab a copy of the latest client from a friend, I'll be resubscribing to EverQuest 2. It's that time of the year again where the nostalgia kicks in and we both resubscribe for a few months. In EVE Online, I'll continue testing out the Dominion expansion on the test server and will start work on a new series of guides for the EVE Evolved column. But this week there's an EVE devblog out there that needs to get the EVE Evolved treatment!
  • Brooke Pilley (@Snafzg): I'll be rocking Fallen Earth... and painting!
  • Eliot Lefebvre: Every weekend when I've stated my plans, the result has been that I've been able to do none of those things. That being said, I'm going to be twiddling around a bit on WoW, which is kind of on a low-key schedule whilst I wait for 3.3 goodness. Other than that, I'm tooling around a bit on CoH to see if I might want to add the game back in to my rotation.
  • Krystalle Voecks (@Krystalle): This weekend will undoubtedly see me in Fallen Earth and probably back in EVE Online as well. My corp got wardecced the other day, so it may well be time to die for the Corp's cause. Beyond that, it is finally getting into cool weather where I am, so I fully intend to take advantage of it and grind some more experience in that excellent RL outdoor instance I have nearby.
  • Kyle Horner (@KyleHorner): I'll be jumping into Champions Online a little this weekend, but a large portion of my game time is going to be spent with Dragon Age: Origins. This game is so thick with content, it may as well be an MMO insofar as time spent is concerned.
  • Rubi Bayer: Guild Wars! The continuing Halloween quests has my alliance dying to see the conclusion to the Dhuum storyline, so we'll be checking in quite a bit, and hopefully getting to do the latest quest. I finally purchased LotRO last night. LotRO and GW are going to have an epic battle for my time. Old favorite with a tantalizing conclusion to a new quest line vs. brand new shiny that I've wanted for ages. Who will win?
  • Shawn Schuster (@SSchuster): Just entered Sector 2 in Fallen Earth and I'm excited to hit the factions quests. I'll also be playing some DDO with the Choose My Adventure group on Sunday.
  • Tateru Nino (@taterunino): Wall-to-wall meetings through the weekend for me, in Second Life and a few other virtual spaces. Back to gaming again on Monday.
  • Tracey John (@TraceyJohn): I'll be playing more Borderlands, starting Dragon Age: Origins and finally getting to Torchlight. Who needs to go outside? Not me.

Now, gentle readers, do tell: what are you playing this weekend?
