E3 2009 – Were You There?
June 4th 2009, 11:52
This year, we had a suite rather than a booth, and avoided the noise and push of the crowds. A more intimate setting for a more personal touch. And… well… a scotch bar! Can’t do that in a booth!
Did you attend the convention? Do you have pictures or stories to share? Did you stop by [...]
Social Media: The Next Gen MMO?
May 19th 2009, 16:32
I’m sure you’ve heard about one form of social media or another… MySpace, Facebook, Twitter being among the most popular. There has been much speculation that Twitter is poised to be purchased by Google, and Facebook has been topping the charts with their Zynga games such as Mafia Wars and Texas Hold ‘Em poker.
Considering that [...]

Alt-a-Holics, UNITE!!
March 17th 2009, 14:00
I know this one guy… he has, like, 20 characters. In one game. And he plays them all! I am in awe of his stamina. He remembers them all, remembers where to find that one item he knows he picked up the other day and saved just in case.
He recalls every character’s name, class, and [...]
The /rage quit
March 4th 2009, 17:05
I have been guilty of this action before, and usually because I don’t get chosen first for a pick-up group. I’m generally the last one, unless no other of my class are online, which is rare. But I have seen others do this, and yet have never been able to find out why. Therefore, [...]
To Stay or To Go? Guild Hopping in MMOs
February 17th 2009, 17:06
If you’ve played any MMO at any time, you are then familiar with guilds or clans, and what they have to offer the average player. Social contact, more options for grouping with friends, support or help for problems or tough quests. Drama. Cliques. A sense of maybe not quite belonging, yet [...]
If I Made a MMO…
January 28th 2009, 15:25
I’m a player vs. player junkie, but I also like my shinies. And, I am a content addict. And I like science fiction, but I also immensely enjoy fantasy. And capes?!? Who doesn’t like capes? Oh! Let’s not forget mounts. Running is fine, but having a really cool [...]
Leave Your Manners at the Door, Pls!
January 15th 2009, 18:24
Have you ever noticed before that when you talk to your online gaming friends over voice, and while just chilling in town that everyone is fairly kind and decent and calm… well, okay, not really…
Would you believe, though, that the people you come across in-game are not always what they seem on the surface? [...]
Smack Talk… Part of the Game?
January 7th 2009, 19:03
Picture this…
You are playing in your favorite MMO and enjoying the incessant chatter in the world channels where everyone has something to say. One person in particular catches your eye – they’ve said something really silly (ex., “How do you mine for fish?”) and you just can’t resist the temptation of responding.
The conversation quickly [...]
Server Updates… Good, Bad, or Indifferent?
December 22nd 2008, 13:57
Most titles have regular updates of their servers. Sometimes it’s daily, sometimes it’s weekly… and sometimes randomly sporadic.
I’ve noticed sometimes that you can’t tell anything has been done, and other times there is a full list of update notes related to the down time. And I’m not talking major game updates… I’m talking [...]

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you wondered just what in the hell you were thinking when you decided to jump off that cliff? Or were curious what you would do if you could turn back time and go back to do it all over again, just because it was that [...]
Is Your Game Satisfying?
Posted by AutumnKiss, June 10th 2009, 14:39
I so often come across players who say they are only playing X game until Y game is released. Or that they went to Z game, only to return for lack of anything else that is exciting or interesting.
So what makes a player stick with a game from beginning to end, for years and years, [...]
