Well, being that I am from Massachusetts, I found the following article to be rather interesting... I didn't realize Turbine is less than 30 minutes from where I live. I can voice my dissapointment in person!
Anyway... I never thought I would see the day when a VIDEO GAME company would get on the front page of the Boston Globe.

Nice!
Thanks for that
Thanks, very much - MMOs go more mainstream, interesting to see.
You're welcome folks
It does indeed seem that MMO's are the becomming the new Television... hell, I haven't turned my TV on since I resubscribed to DAoC and started playing with the LoTRO World Tour... but I'm a geek, so that isn't really all that abnormal.

LMAO - Hey there CG.
Which game? DAoC or LoTRO?

Same thing happened with VG... like a year later I was standing there with a package going "OOOHHH Yeah... I remember buying this..."

I am pretty sure I am on Arkenstone... but I would have to double check the client. I really wasn't paying much attention to that when I created a character.

I normally play some sort of mage or something... so that's all I could really find.

I found it to be the class I least preferred in OB..... so if be sure to try a few other classes. Truthfully, Hunters are described as being the "Nukers"s of the game.... and while their arrows aren't flaming...they do hit very hard at range.
Anywho...great article, glad to see it hit the mainstream news like that. Had a few inaccuracies.... (like... "few gamers are willing to invest that much time") but otherwise pretty good read.
