The MMO Recap
You know those kind of episodes from your favorite television shows that are really just a huge collection of clips from previous episodes?
This post is the written equivalent!
Now before you run off, damning me to the last layer of Baator to have a nice chat with Asmodeus,(I’m about to play D&D…leave me be I know what kind of horrid nerd I happen to be.) this one actually kinda makes sense.
At least it does to me.
A Question of World of Warcraft MMO Lore
It’s friday! Huzzah!
I’m about to go out and celebrate the fact that for a few days I won’t have to assist people with their Medicare issues by enjoying the company of some friends. Now however I would still like to get a conversation started of a more casual nature. Tomorrow I’ll post a few ideas I had at work..but that’s another story.

Here is my idea.
To put it very simply, have a brand new NPC be available near where you purchase a guild tabard and start a guild charter. This NPC will sell special “pets”, patterns, and other cosmetic items as a reward for players that have remained in a guild for an X amount of time. The longer you stay, the more rewards you can purchase. I…
The Worlds.com “Interview”
12/30/08
That is the date I asked Worlds.com for an interview concerning their recent lawsuit against NCSoft, creator of such gems as City of Heroes and Guild Wars. This was the pipe dream of an aspiring writer/journalist wanting to try to do a somewhat important interview. I didn’t expect to get it, and I told some of my blog friends (Such as Tipa of WestKarana.com and OpenEdge1 at Simple and Complex.) about me sending out the email.
01/05/09
The date that Thom Kidrin, the CEO of Worlds.com answered my sally at fame. His answer?
An MMO Story: Why I love my Rogue
