The MMO Holidays
December 15th 2008, 18:29
I don’t know about you, but I like gifts. Presents. New, shiny things delivered without notice and with no request for reimbursement or C.O.D.
And yet, when it comes to my gaming, I don’t want just anything… I want something so unbelievably COOL as to warrant me begging for more! Give me a [...]
In Gamers We Trust
November 25th 2008, 13:15
Quite often, I see many of our fellow gamers helping out other folks – especially on the Community forums for whichever title I’m reading up on. In fact, there tends to be more responses from other players than from the developers themselves.
And… oddly enough… a lot of the information given is well-received and relied [...]
Launch Day Jitters
November 18th 2008, 18:50
It’s almost like withdrawals, wrapped up with wedding-night nervousness, all rolled into a high dosage of adrenaline for a halfling.
Launch Day Jitters.
After 364 days of complaining, congratulating, focusing, discussing, detailing, debating and basically behaving in all manners and frames of mind that might both make our mothers very, very proud and very, very sad in [...]
Are MMOs Affecting Your Spouse?
November 12th 2008, 11:29
In an article published today at TimesOnline.com, gaming in general (although World of Warcraft specifically) is being blamed for the erosion of real-world relationships:
“We are definitely seeing a growth in compulsive online behaviours affecting relationships,” says Christine Lacy, a senior practice consultant at Relate. “We don’t suggest that people simply go cold turkey because that [...]
Dood! Can u hlp me pls?
November 6th 2008, 12:29
Seriously?
First off, why does everyone automatically assume that just because I’m playing an MMO I have to be a dude? I mean, look at me… do I look like a dude?!? Does my character name reflect that I’ve got the proper plumbing to even remotely resemble being a dude?!? Is it even [...]
In-Game Advertising?
October 3rd 2008, 17:37
So I’m surfing the net, checking out all of the MMO sites I can to see what’s going on this world I choose to play in, and what do I see?
A poll at MMORPG.com asking players if they think it’d be okay to have in-game advertising! Yes, it’s from like… five years ago. [...]

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, [...]
E3 2009 – Were You There?
Posted by AutumnKiss, 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?
Posted by AutumnKiss, 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 [...]
