Retirement System – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can “retire” and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters.

I’m really looking forward to this game. I enjoyed Mythos and hopefully this game is similar.
So there I was considering pulling the trigger on a Champions Online lifetime subscription..then it hit me. Hellgate London. Myself along with a friend where so very excited to play Hellgate and for the first few days life was good. Into about week 2 my friend had made an interesting discovery; he had made it into a “space ship” level and when I asked him to describe it he said “it looks the same as that other level”…bland boring levels, repetitive weapon design, and shoddy multiplayer code. “But it was made by the guy that did stuff at Blizzard, so it has to be good right?”
I understand that one man does not control the fate of a whole game, but I distinctly remember considering a lifetime membership to Hellgate London. The nausieating mixture of Champions Online, Bill Roper, and a a lifetime subscription just brings on a taste of bitterness.
Here’s to hoping the upcoming beta proves me wrong.
Just started the single player campaign in Gears of War II. Wow. I was blown away by the introduction and immediately sucked into the story line. The graphics are amazing and the sound work is top notch. I did notice some slow down of frame rates makes me wonder how they would be able to make improvements and/or pull off Gears III.
I am beginning to prefer the online functionality and feel of the 360 over my PS3. It’s so nice just hitting a controller button and inviting friends. Hearing about the online issues with Fat Princess only reinforces this.
I’ve been having a lot of fun in Warhammer thanks to the new (and free) expansion. The new area is timer based, allowing access to each faction for a limited time. The second shot shows me along with a huge group of Order players getting ready to attack destruction players who have just been given access to the area.
