Common readers of the positioning know that the upper administration is being shifted round right here at Massively, that means that Brianna Royce will now be in cost. Whereas we'll all the time miss Shawn Schuster's unmistakable voice and work on the site, the change will likely appear invisible to most readers.I, for one, wish to welcome our new overlord, for whom I have nothing however respect and admiration. By full coincidence, this week's header picture occurs to be of her favorite animal. Additionally, I might have sent plenty of present baskets of fruit to her house. And I am positive we can all agree that earlier situations of tomfoolery shouldn't be taken under consideration when she now considers that she has full power over me.Transferring on from the welcoming of overlords, it is time for this week's installment of WRUP, featuring the Massively staff explaining our plans for the weekend in addition to whether or not a graphical upgrade would convey us again to our first MMOs. Take a look at our plans past the break, and tell us what you will be up to in the comments!@Beau_Hindman: I will be settling down on a brand new deed in Wurm On-line, persevering with to grind my teeth as I wait for my new Computer to get here, and putting my exploration money the place my mouth is by finally downloading IMVU. It's a social MMO that looks very... different. I'm also nonetheless gathering my checklist of pre-World of Warcraft MMOs for coverage. Luckily I nonetheless have most of my old accounts!If I up to date any graphics for some of my favourite video games, that may imply a downgrade for lots of them. I need graphics which can be more stylized, particularly like those in Free Realms or Clone Wars Adventures. I'd love to see a "severe" sport completed with a extra stylized flair. Wurm On-line can keep how it's, but I actually wish to see some new avatars. I do know they're coming, but boy, I can not wait!@nyphur: This weekend I'll be entertaining a visiting Swedish pal from my outdated World of Warcraft guild, working onerous on Predestination, and making an attempt to convince my housemates to play more Guild Wars 2!My first MMO was RuneScape, and its graphical updates have actually introduced me back a number of times. I began again when it was a blocky world with 2-D goblin sprites, and the first massive 3-D update hooked me back in for a number of months. I've returned periodically to see what the game is like, and the graphics are definitely the first thing I look for. EVE On-line has the same effect, with large graphical updates pulling individuals back in to strive the sport again.@nbrianna: I'll be dividing my recreation time between Guild Wars 2 and Metropolis of Heroes. Double XP is on permanently in CoH, I hear, so it is the right time to roll up a new character in time for the Positron's Ally event subsequent week.My first MMO was Ultima Online, and graphical upgrades did bring me again many occasions. That game has had extra improved shoppers than any MMO I do know... but those upgraded clients normally get abandoned by the staff before they're completed as a result of many of the veterans simply refuse to change. Very irritating!@Eliot_Lefebvre: Metropolis of Heroes, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the ever-widespread Providing Assist to a Liked One with a Chilly. Sooner or later I'll really play Guild Wars 2 for more than 10 minutes at a stretch. If I am lucky, it is going to be earlier than the tip of the decade.I'm actually the incorrect particular person to ask about returning to a game for a graphical upgrade as a result of graphics have by no means been what's turned me off from a recreation. I didn't initially leave Ultimate Fantasy XI because of the graphics; I left because the game wasn't truly fun to play. If I see indicators that the game I didn't like X period of time in the past has gotten higher, I am going to come running proper again, but placing a brand new coat of paint on a game I wasn't enjoying doesn't lure me again.@elixabethclaire: The secret World continues to be on pause for me as I dedicate my time to Guild Wars 2. I would wish to hit 80 by the center of the upcoming week, so I will be doing loads of PvE and WvW this weekend. I did not mean to, but I've acquired a complete agenda plotted out for my temporary "most important" after she hits 80, not to mention slightly roster of who is in want of leveling after her.Not a lot gaming for me this weekend. Maybe some The key World.I go back and play all of my old MMOs anyway regardless of updates, though I am very a lot wanting ahead to Anarchy Online's eventual reskin.@Sypster: My MMO to do checklist is a mile vast at this level. I really want to put a cap on Quantity III E book 6 in Lord of the Rings Online, check out the brand new Autumn Festival in RIFT, get by means of Egypt in The secret World, and make the large bucks in Guild Wars 2.As for graphical upgrades, nicely, if Anarchy On-line ever gets that newfangled redux off the ground, then you may bet I'll be first in line. It might be nice to see what a slightly more up to date AO would appear to be.@JayeRnH: This weekend I'm busy with a household journey, however in any spare time I have, I'll log into RIFT and hold out next to Atrophinius in the Autumn occasion just to listen to his hilarious voice-overs. Other than that, I'll most likely pop into Minecraft with the kids so we will work on our tree home.My first MMO was EverQuest, and I might be more prone to return if the game really reverted back to the previous graphics of avatars and revamped zones.@mvmatt: This weekend is my roommate's birthday, so we've received some mutual pals coming to stay for the weekend. Because of this, my gaming time is probably going to be occupied more by break up-display mayhem than MMO funtimes. But when the chance arises, I'll be splitting my time between The key World and Guild Wars 2.And would I go back to EverQuest or Ultima On-line if either one acquired a graphical update? That is a great question. I wish to say sure, but I do not know if I might be telling the reality. I liked UO and EQ again in the day, but I believe it will take a bit more than a graphical upgrade to make me a player once more. wicked frise For each charmingly dated function that I fondly remember, there is a plethora of really archaic design selections that I do not assume I might be able to place up with.@MJ_Guthrie: Oh my gosh! I get to sport this weekend!! *almost faints with excitement* How a lot can I cram in? Let's see, the vote won't be in for Choose my Journey, so The key World will likely be on hold until Monday. (By the way, go vote!). To fill my weekend, I'm going to dive into GW2 extra (I actually need to take a look at an Asura), begin plotting more for my EverQuest II neighborhood procuring district in addition to take in just a few dungeons, and unfold my wings in Aion to complete up some quests and maybe even get a couple of rounds of PvP Arenas in. I also plan on eating pizza. Mmm.I'd return if they'd flip the blasted servers again on! (RIP Star Wars Galaxies.)@mackeypb: I have been playing more Touhou Hisoutensoku (not that any of you understand what that's), in addition to League of Legends. I am at the moment carrying as Graves, though I am pretty positive those reading my column already know that. It feels good to play extra airdash fighters, though; I really feel like a bit of a void has been filled in my gamer heart.In order for me to return to EQ, it could take a greater recreation, not a graphical replace. Actually, graphical updates mean nearly nothing to me. If the identical EQ graphics as in 2000 had been on prime of the GW2 engine, I would still be down for enjoying it. Excessive-quality graphics are a bonus, not a necessity.@terilynns: I will likely be jumping into Star Trek On-line this weekend to play a couple of Foundry missions to discuss on my UGC podcast. I'll even be in Lord of the Rings Online as I find it very relaxing to farm and craft in that game. If time permits, I shall be again in Glitch as properly. And yes, the rumors are true: Some individuals are twisting my arm to present Guild Wars 2 a attempt. I'd pick it up this weekend.I am actually glad this week's question does not apply to me. My first MMO remains to be my favorite, and it is a good looking game -- Star Trek On-line!Initially of each weekend, we catch up with the Massively employees members and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" (In any other case referred to as: WRUP!) Be part of us to see what we're as much as in and out of sport -- and catch us in the comments to tell us what you're playing, too!
