Improving the brand, I'm official, baby!

Welcome to worldofraji.com, my brand new domain! I'm pretty excited to have made it this far and hopefully will continue to do this for a long time. Not only I have a new web address, I also have a Facebook page www.facebook.com/rajiblaze and of course, my youtube channel here. I know I'm not super popular right now, but this is all in good fun, and besides, this is just the beginning! The readers will come in due time; as long as I'm consistent and stay true to myself and my future readers, good things will happen.

WoWInsider/Massively lives on thanks to crowdfunding

To my dismay, gaming blog sites Massively and WoWInsider (along with Joystiq, part of the Joystiq network) were shut down. Apparently their AoL overlord decided their services were no longer needed. I still don't understand why this decision was made (budget issues?) but both were very popular and had a huge following. I, of course, frequented those site multiple times a day, so when I heard the initial bad news, I was devastated. For the past 5 years or so they were the only sites that I consistently visited, and now they're no more? What was I going to do??

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 2.51 - Golden Saucy Goodness!

Well I definitely don't keep up with everything in this game, hell I had no idea this patch was coming out...what a pleasant surprise! Patch 2.51 released it's most anticipated content thus far: The Golden Saucer!

The Golden Saucer? You mean the Golden Saucer from, like, Final Fantasy 7??

It's not quite exactly the same place, but dammit, what they do have is freaking awesome! Even the music is faithful to the original place!

I didn't get to play much, but I did get a chance to win (and lose) a couple of card matches, spend some token on the plethora of carni games they have around the area, and of course, get my chocobo racing on! 

Based on what I've seen and read, this was a most welcome addition to Final Fantasy XIV. The only problem is that I have so much to do already! And I can see myself addicted to chocobo racing. I guess in an MMO, that's a good problem to have.

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn - My Thoughts So Far

So it's been over a year since I laid eyes on FF14, mainly because World of Warcraft had my full undivided attention. I mean MoP was a success as far as storytelling and WoD was even better! But after the glitter and glamour wore out, so did my interest. I figured, "Hey, they added a ninja class. Let's see what's up with FF14". Me and my crew were more than eager to return back to that world . 

Allow me to reintroduce myself

Greetings everyone and thanks for taking your time to read my blog! For those that don't know I am Rajiblaze, MMO gamer extraordinaire. I've been on and off blogging and decided to reinvigorate my brand. Reading back through the old posts, I wondered why the heck did I stop?? I mean I'm not the best writer in the world, but it showed I have some skill in writing what's on my mind! So how are things? I'll give you a brief story on my recent events.
