WRUP: Another week, another weekend

- Brendan Drain (@nyphur): The Dominion expansion has just gone live and I've been paying close attention to what's been going on post-expansion. Although I'm staying in my little wormhole system, I can see things are about to explode in 0.0. Meanwhile, I've discovered the Chronomagic feature in EverQuest 2 that lets you mentor down to a lower level without another player of that level. Running all the mid-level dungeons I liked with a slightly overpowered character is proving to be a lot of fun.
- Dan O'Halloran: Diving further into the new LotRO Siege of Mirkwood expansion. Going to try out a few more Skirmishes and delve deeper into Mirkwood. Also finishing up my Lothlorien quests so I can get those out of my quest log.
- Eliot Lefebvre: City of Heroes is rocking my world. There, I've said it. I also want to get my death knight in WoW up to Crusader status, and possibly screw around on the console for a bit. My new computer is due in a couple weeks, at which point I'm going to be playing new things like a fiend.
- Krystalle Voecks (@Krystalle): I'll probably only get enough time to log into Fallen Earth and EVE Online to switch skills/crafting around and log out, if I get any at all. There are tons of real life parties, festivals, concerts, plays, and more to attend this weekend. I could use three or four of those LifeNet clones right about now. Just hold the TETRAX, thanks!
- Kyle Horner (@Kylehorner): I'll be taking a weekend break from MMOs this week, but I'll probably be playing some King's Bounty and get some more reading done.
- Rubi Bayer: I'm going to be diving into City of Heroes, and taking a second look at Champions Online. The new Guild Wars 2 trailer has renewed my interest in buffing up my Hall of Monuments as well, so I'll probably spend some time grinding that Kurzick title!
- Shawn Schuster (@SSchuster): I'm approaching level 10 in Allods Online's CBT2, and level 12 on my new Fallen Earth alt (who might just replace my main). Other than that, it's the final week in DDO for the Choose my Adventure series, so we'll be sure to make it extra special.
- Tracey John (@TraceyJohn): I'm catching up on e-mails sent during my recent vacation and still obsessed with Borderlands, though I want to dive back into LotRO if I get around to re-installing.

I'm playing Study My Butt Off for Finals. However, after next Wednesday I'm on break and it's going to be all games, all the time!

For me splitting time between Left 4 Dead 2 and LotRO. I'm getting an itch to play something else, but not sure I want to buy anything new. I do have access to a game that's in beta for a few hours Saturday afternoon, but I'm already kind of bored and disappointed with it and just can't bring myself to want to play it any more.

A game that only gives access for a few hours? I know what company follows that path. Shame to hear you're already dulled by its gameplay. That does not bode well for it.

I ended up getting GWAMM 32 max titles before stopping guild wars. Have not really kept up with the guild wars news much in the last year. Does anyone know if the Hall of monuments which can be account based or character base, transfer to your new account in guild wars 2? Want I am asking I guess is I had two favorite characters in guild wars , monk and ele, is it worth doing titles on my ele? Monk has them all. Or will all titles transfer to the new account? Any news on that come out in the last year?

Like Shawn I have switched sides in Allods (bugged Blue XP Empire Orc) and am having fun exploring this game's closed Beta.

Playing the new LOTRO expansion. Also playing a little bit of EQ2 since my friend from WoW moved there to try it out for a bit after being burnt out on WoW.

Currently I'm playing EVE online. Like Drain, I'm just waiting for the proverbial fecal matter to hit the fan in null sec. I'm a member of one of the 0.0 alliances so I'm in prep for the upcoming carnage.
I also casually play Guild Wars still. I'm mainly just logging in when quick-to-do Zaishen challenges are up for the day. I also still grind kurzy faction for the title, but I get more and more bored with that grind each time I do it.

I am pretty much hooked on the Warhammer Online unlimited trial, and I fully intend to subscribe after finals with a couple of my friends.
It would be really cool if you guys did a "Choose Your Own Adventure" for WAR (if you did and I missed it, I apologize), or perhaps just a feature exploring the trial for people that may not have played it yet.

I'm working on unlocking everything in Plants vs Zombies. Other than that some Fallen Earth action. Must finish starter towns...

@kyle: Kings Bounty, eh? That game is pretty awesome. :)
Been a little light on the MMOs as of late. Partially due to the new holiday gaming sexiness and partially due to a surprise upcoming apartment move. Panic! Very little CO, some Eve, lots of Torchlight and just diving into KotOR for the very first time as that was gifted to me in the recent Steam sale.
Dragon Age is sitting in my Steam list, watching me and licking its lips. It'll need to wait until January, though.
