Very happy for this to have a home on But Why Tho. The Hellraiser Devs were very open about delving into topics most games won't!

Hi,Aion 2 - Joseph again. Why the fuq is your in-game market not available to players till they hit level 45? Like...why? Also, why does crafting require ingredients you can only really get from Shugo Festivals or world bosses instead of...you know...gathering normally?

The first piece by @mickthonymouse.bsky.social on @mmorpg.com (sorry @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social, I swear I'm just borrowing him). We've got a whole line up of articles about controller support in WoW, including playing Forever on the JunkFood Arcade SWORL, but this is the start!

who'da thunk, the deck with all the Game Changers won a game of Magic. It was probably the first time (maybe second time now that I think about it) where I won with my Azorius Salt Control deck through combat damage.

I *really* like Convoke (also I lost. Horribly. Drew land all but 2 turns in that 12-turn game).

Crimson Harvest is live! Choosing your allegiance based on the SKIN rewards? We won’t judge. Earn Blood Raider or Tetrimon Crimson Mark SKINs as you progress along your seasonal reward track. Which look do you like best?

Do I know any games media people who enjoy highlighting charity/non-profit/good causes to donate to during the winter holiday window? Might have a fun interview opportunity for the right person.

Yea, knowing I was reviewing this I didn't pay that close attention to the little tidbits like this so I could experience them fresh as a player who is hopping in without prior knowledge might. All of this is bad, and so outrageously anti-consumer, regardless of being communicated ahead of time.

Joseph Bradford - MMORPG's #1 Cowtributor @lotrlore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I have yet to play an MMO where it's not account-wide. Mounts and some items, sure, they can be per-character. But cosmetics and the SUBSCRIPTION have always been account-wide in any game I've played....

Joseph Bradford - MMORPG's #1 Cowtributor @lotrlore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Oh hey, apparently the subscription you can pay is also PER SERVER and and not account-wide. Wtf are we even doing, Aion.

Joseph Bradford - MMORPG's #1 Cowtributor @lotrlore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Okay #Aion2 - why is it that when I buy a skin from the shop on an Asmodian character, that skin is not unlocked account-wide? I just made an Elyos character to check out its starting area and _nothing_ is unlocked in the closet. This is just...bad guys. Like, seriously.

I'm such a sucker for GTA that, like GTA 5 before it, I will play it everywhere it's available. Happily, lol.

I'm on US West Zikel (asmodian side). Haven't gotten too super far, been very busy weekend with my kid's homecoming. But starting my review playthrough basically today, so going to start blasting through things.

The way the screen is set up when you die makes a seem as though those are the only two options you either spend in the stone or you wait 15 minutes so definitely either I missed something on the UI or the UI has not made intuitively enough to see those options right away

Joseph Bradford - MMORPG's #1 Cowtributor @lotrlore.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

If you're playing #aion2, please let me know if I have this right: I just died for the first time and was flashed a screen to either wait 15 minutes to revive or spend a resurrection stone, which look to be sold on the store. Am I crazy in that these are the only two options?

Rape culture is so prevalent that there are dudes in the comments of Lost in Cult’s IG post about severing ties with Geller stating that his OWN ADMISSION OF GUILT does not make it true. Sexual assault is SO “extremely serious” that even a man confessing he did it is not enough to establish guilt.
