PSN Back online

PNS is back online or at least should be soon. Yesterday PSN, Blizzard and a couple other services were attacked yesterday with a DDoS attack. For those that don't know what a DDoS attack is, cause I sure didn't, it's a distributed denial of service attack. Basically the servers get bombarded with requests and errors so nobody else can use the service.

Lizard Squad is taking credit for the attack along with a bomb scare on Sony Online Entertainment President's airplane. I've also read that Lizard Squad is saying they are part of the ISIS group we are hearing so much about over in Iraq. If that's true or not I don't know.

Maintenance was supposed to happen on the PSN network but that's been pushed back.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
