Still not playing anything organized as guild. We've got guys playing a lot of MOBA's it seems, and with the prize pools of next season in LOL, DoTA 2, and probably HoN soon to follow....I don't see that stopping.

Next on the frontier for MMO's is SWTOR(lawl, star trek reference for star wars...brains are exploding somewhere.) . We can be found:
http://www.swtor.com/guilds/48336/pfb

Not sure exactly how their guild alliance type system is going to go into place, but it would be cool to end up on the same server with some old friends.

People are pretty psyched for D3 as well. We've gotten a lot of heated debate on the whole blizzard cash shop, so I'll just leave that out...but from a business perspective...it's genius.

Well, on to the real point of this...Guild Wars 2. I've gone from "ya I'll play", to devotedly optimistic, to zealously blinded fanboy.

The videos are just amazing, then content is what I'm looking for...and the combat looks fluid and fantastic. Tons of info already posted on our private forums if you're a member...and if not...just go spend some time on youtube. 1st and foremost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBC_ig73aMs

Also I opened up the recruitment forum so that people that we've played with recently, whether it be other games under another guild tag, or whatever...can get in touch, app, and get access for when the time comes and we all start playing something again.

So I have a lot of video game memories, just like everyone else who would bother to come here. But nothing sends me spiraling back quite like this tune:


I know, I know...SWG was terrible...but at release, it really wasn't. I've never felt so overwhelmed and immersed in a giant world as I did in SWG. A giant world, that once you had fully explored, you just traveled to another and started over. I remember literally running for 20 minutes to get from Mos Espa to Ft Tusken. Back before mounts and vehicles. And if you died on the trip...you had to start over. That's an epic feeling. It's sad what Sony did to that game, but I may be a little more upset that they are shutting the doors on it entirely. I don't think I'd ever go back and play it again (I think I reinstalled once in the last 5 years and ran around to familiar sites and then uninstalled again....probably without seeing another player at all). Knowing that I can't ever go back, that's a little unsettling though. Bria 4 Life!!!

So, on to new horizons. We are all really psyched up for Guild Wars 2. I think it will be the first official showing for PfB since Aion/AoC. I think people will come out of the woodwork and we'll go into that game with guns blazing, full of friends and guildies from the past.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to SWToR. My expectations are low, I don't think the game will really be what I am looking for, but you can put a lightsaber in a potato's hand and I'll buy it. If it plays like a multiplayer KotoR with continuous content updates, I can see playing it casually with friends for a long time.

For now, we have a few guys playing LOL pretty consistently, a couple people still screwing around with WoW and a couple more back in GW1...people killing time is really all any of it is.

Ahhh, nostalgia. The feelings we dream of every time we go into another new game, only to be disappointed again. It's sad to think the MMO genre peaks with your very first game, and that you can never get that back. Pretty sure that's the same case with heroin.

So Grindhoben and Abomonster hit world first 50's last night. Gratz to them, they're ridiculous indeed.





(Picture to come of Abomos)

PfB is pretty fractured across several servers to best match our individual playstyles. I think that's probably the "future" of PfB. Lots of faces spread throughout our own individualistic environments. Nothing wrong with that, you can always reach any of us here on the forums.

We have people on:
Spitescar-Guardian
Seastone- Guardian
Briarcliff - Guardian

and a few others spread around that i'll have to ask specifically. I'll post more once I've hit 50.

One of our own got picked up for CoD - Black Ops.

Check the press release here.

Gratz to Xanath and Jordan.

Well I was playing solo on mug'thol basically. I had landed a pug that turned into a consistent raiding 10m...but anytime other than sunday, I was sitting around by myself.

3-4 weeks ago PfB decided we needed something to do, I transferred to blackrock and we had a 10-15m showing that first week. People came back because everyone was bored and we were gonna put some time in casually on ICC and do some pvp and wait for cata. We had a few people transfer toons, but mostly people leveled to cap, and started doing heroics. The following week (2 weeks ago now) we ran our first ICC's as a guild. And people poured out of the woodwork for it. We ended up with 2 10m ICC's and a 25m, all in house. 10a- 6/12, 10b 7/12, 25m 6/12.

On to this week. A Group goes 4/12 (tank issue...Heart of Ice). 25m went 9/12, and B Group went 9/12 -> 11/12 -> and then killed LK last night in just 6 attempts.

So in the course of 3 weeks people in our guild went from 1-LK dead.
No carries, no previous ICC experience past 10/12. Wow is either stupid easy, or we're just stupid good.

PS...if you see us in arenas, kill our healers, none of them have resil gear. (I hate you Devin)
