It’s everyones favorite topic.
RMT talk time! Tobold has a post up today about the subject, quoting a well written article from Zen of Design by Damion. I’ve made a few comments on Tobold’s blog, but felt the need to get into more detail … Continue reading

It’s like the good old days. Thanks SOE!
Now this is an interesting story. First off I have to say that Massively has really been impressing me lately. First they listened to the community and moved a ton of their Second Life stories to their own section, and … Continue reading

Showing some love, an extended blog roll.

RL > Blog time.

Urge…to…play…EVE…rising…

Giving some credit to Massively, and dumping on SL.

Don’t blame the Deathknight, blame the creator.
Now that RMT promoter Tobold has returned (kidding), he linked some good blog posts about the upcoming Deathknight class, and what could possibly be done to implement them correctly without pissing off other classes, particularly warriors. All good reads, so … Continue reading
