ATITD2 Early Impressions

Posted by michael on from the kill-the-mob-get-the-loot dept.

Darniaq writes "While a relatively small game as defined by player count, A Tale in the Desert was a rather robust experiment into just how much crafting a massive online gamer would like to do. The game is also more evocative of a massive online real-time strategy game than a roleplaying one ala Everquest or City of Heroes. And now there's a sequel. The staff at Grimwell.com has temporarily relocated to Egypt, and provides a live report."

      I'm assuming a massive online gamer = Michael Moore+Peter Jackson (in terms of looks, body mass).

    Every time I see ATITD I think it's Alone In The Dark (calssic pre-resident evil survival horror game), fsking dslexyia.


    On the subject of dyslexia:
    The staff at Grimwell.com has temporarily relocated to Egypt, and provides a live report.

    HAVE!

    The staff at grimwell.com HAVE temporarily relocated to Egypt, and provides a live report.

    Staff is plural! So it's have, not has!

    I know it's /. , but you think they could at least get the grammar right in the stories, no?

    you missed : they provide not it provides

    but tbh just get over it, /. writing is terrible before they apply the grammar obfuscation to it.

    just like your writing, no? (ugh!)
