Posted by spiii on September 27th, 2011 @ 00:28Zoey or … Global Agenda?
Posted by spiii on July 9th, 2010 @ 19:06As Ali predicted, here is the long awaited Global Agenda vs Zoey smackdown. You know what that means: time to compare heroines!
| Weapon of choice | |
|---|---|
 Recon with ghost sword |  Zoey with dual (black) pistols |
| Mode of transportation | |
 Dropship and jetpacks |  Ya gotta hoof it if ya gonna shoot the pilots |
| Villianess aspirations | |
 Think Tank |  The Witch |
| Most startled by | |
 Scanners |  Witches |
| Dislikes | |
 No Elves in GA |  Witches – not anymore! |
| Best mates | |
 Every Agent is your friend against the Commonwealth |  Same ol’ survivors (well, technically Bill died and the other survivors met in passing …) |
| Best in lego | |
 FAIL! There is no GA lego, despite Hi-Rez artist Rick Ruiz stating it is his preferred medium. |  Lego Zoey |
| Most colourful | |
 A riot of colour in raids |  Pretty dim in these smoky sewers |
| Best cosplay | |
 Assault agent makes an appearance at E3 |  Guys in drag |
| Who’s got the moves | |
 Getting jiggy with it! |  Not those kinds of moves Zoey! |
Conclusion
So is Global Agenda worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?) Does it matter since you all bought it anyway? Is it worth playing? If being able to tell your mates “yeah, I danced a merry jig on that Switchblade’s grave!!” is as important to you as it is to me, then yes!
Fumbles may have been mildly offended in the writing of this post.
Global Agenda is now 100% subscription free
Posted by spiii on June 25th, 2010 @ 18:28From twitter. Global Agenda is now 100% subscription free. Soak it up: http://tinyurl.com/gasubfree
Now we purchasers can play all of it for as long as we like. No fear of it becoming locked when subs are brought in.
Future content will be sold as expansion packs. But we get the rest of sandstorm free first.
Nice. I think. MMO without the sub. AvA anyone?
ps: GTA was the first MMO.

Global Agenda 1.3A
Posted by spiii on May 9th, 2010 @ 02:22The first patch for “sandstorm” (aka Global Agenda 1.3) has landed on the public test server. I had a run. Unfortunately requires a new low level character so only level 5 med. Gameplay feels the same. Some UI has changed. If I had to sum it up in two pictures, it would be these:
Yes, cybercuts is open with new hairstyles and a second hair colour!
New UI for equipping stuff, and a new “handsfree” jetpack uses the jump key without requiring switching. The old school jetpack is still available. Additionally a “combat jetpack” can be bought that allows firing while flying.
Importantly, /jig is still the same, and now it announces to everyone “spiii starts to dance” — sweet!
In sad news, HiRez have stated High and Max PvE will require a subscription (though subscription content should be free for a month after the patch drops). Pretty sure when I paid for the game PvE was supposed to always be free … there’s a lot of negative reaction to that announcement, might be they’ll change their mind.
If not, well, the bus stop in The Ballad of g*y Tony might just be greater then /jig anyway!!
