I’m back from vacation at blisteringly hot Sacramento (motto: “A frozen yogurt shop on every corner”) and ready with a brand-new /AFK — a weekly list of posts that really caught my eye. Although because of the trip and my limited reading time, this list is a bit anemic this week:
- Are MMORPGs more like women or dogs?
- Hee.
- Apparently, part of Vanguard’s failure was Sigil employees not being team players. Y’know, like lead devs who cut ‘n ran when their employees were gathered up and fired en masse in a parking lot.
- Raindrops on roses — that’s Keen’s favorite thing in MMOs.
- Bullet Points looks to LOTRO’s Warden for ideas for creating more interesting spellcasters.
- Coolest geek soda EVER.
- Incoming Pull does a wrapup of their time in Warhammer, warts and all.
- Rog says developers need to man up and stop making excuses for slacking on content.
- Jeff Hollis has an idea — many ideas, actually — as to why World of Warcraft is dying: part 1 and part 2.
- KIASA bragged a brag in LOTRO and survived.
- I agree with Spinks — guild bulletin boards/forums are rarely if ever read by me, and I’m kinda annoyed when they try to make me.
- Har de har har!
- It’s always great to see someone extolling the virtues of Kingdom of Loathing. Great times, man. Great times.
- Which of these is cheating?
- Darth Hater dissects the latest TOR video documentary for our edutainment.
“Jeff Hollis has an idea — many ideas, actually — as to why World of Warcraft is dying: part 1 and part 2.”
Both links don’t work :(
Seems like IncGamers is down as a whole site right now…
Ahhhh. Seems you’re right. It’s back now.
Man – those two articles were terrible – I have to wonder if the author has ever actually raided. To claim that raid success = time invested is ludicrous beyond all belief.
Ah well – thanks for the link dump, as always.
