WRUP: Hello, Aion edition

Another week culminates in another weekend. And with the launch of both Aion and Fallen Earth this week, it's a busy one! The problem, as always, comes down to countless available MMOs and only 24 hours in a day. So what's a gaming blogger to do? There are tough choices that need to be made. So, for the curious, here's what the Massively team is playing this weekend:

Brendan Drain (@nyphur): Having spent much of this week in EVE Online preying mercilessly on miners in wormhole space, I plan to take a break from piracy to make a little ISK. I'll be blitzing some class 5 sleeper anomalies with a few buddies using a new strategy that combines remote armor repair ships with energy transfers and ECM. Other than that I'll be catching up on some reading and getting some hours in on a game design project.

Brooke Pilley (@Snafzg): Working on my Asmo assassin in Aion. Say "Hi" on Lumiel if you see me!
Colin Brennan (@sera_brennan): Champions. Aion. Aion. Champions. Star Wars. Board games. Mystery Science Theater 3000! Tell me that's not an epic weekend!
Elizabeth Harper (@faience): Seeing if Dungeon Fighter Online will run on my netbook.
Krystalle Voecks (@Krystalle): Planning to get some gaming time in with the other half this weekend unless rehearsals for Night of the Living Dead, eat his tasty brains. There will be much Fallen Earth and Dungeons and Dragons Online for us. Also hoping to pop my head in on Earth Eternal and pick up one of those nifty hats!
Kyle Horner (@Kylehorner): Some more Champions Online for me this weekend, with a little reading on the side since I bought a brand new book.
Shawn Schuster (@SSchuster): Running through Book 3 with the Massive Hobbits in LotRO and going to the county fair. Yeehaw!
Tateru Nino (@taterunino): Nursing sick family back to health (we tend to come down with things in shifts). Some Champions Online and some time with an MMOG beta I can't name, if I get a chance.

And now, gentle reader, it's your turn. What are you playing this weekend?

I play Mabinogi on the Alexina server. Just rebirthed my character and the goal is to grind to 50 and get rank 5 in combat mastery. Other than that I hang around in the hub city of Dunbarton evening the odds in the perpetual elf versus giant war. Character's name is Niafar if you want to look me up sometime, or need help getting into the game.

Im playing Aion this weekend. Cant wait to try out the PVP

Despite having Aion, I find myself in Champions still.

Playing a trillion hours of Aion. A lot of my guildies from WAR moved there, so its nice to play with people I know for a change.

I also used my free respec in CO to completely change my char. It kind of sucks, because I liked some of the Darkness skills, but they just don't stand up to some of the others. I don't like min-maxing in general, but it's virtually a necessity to some degree in that game. Also, I figure that they will make further changes, and give out another free respec at some point.

I was going to play Aion online. But due to queue's I'm left doing other stuff. =/
