Continuing today's Tabula Rasa theme, Laura Genender shines her Community Spotlight on MMORPG.com user Chryses and his recent blog entry about his personal experiences playing TR.
This past Friday marked the official launch date of NCSoft’s Tabula Rasa; many players, myself included, set foot into a new MMO world with varied expectations and experiences. One such player, Chryses, shared his experiences through the first two days of Tabula Rasa gameplay in his blog Chryses’s articles and reviews.
Chryses had not participated in the Tabula Rasa beta and all of his expectations were formed off of official postings, screenshots, video clips, and forum threads. He came into the game expecting an average to below average experience. The game does, after all, get a lot of flack on the forums! “Tabula Rasa is a game that only receives hate or love postings on these forums,” explains Chryses.

I'm really struggling to not be harsh, so please take this as positive criticism Laura.
Your "articles" on blog spotlights are really nothing that a link couldn't cure to be honest. You don't add anything by way of suggested thoughts, differing viewpoints or anything else.. you don't have an opinion on your own, and don't state why that particular blog post was selected by you. All you SEEM to do is cut and paste from a blog that you find interesting.
And while it's nice that certain blogs are highlighted, shouldn't you either just post a link to the original blog post, or actually add to the content, giving rise to more meaningful debate?
I'm with NetSapiens. Has it really gotten to the point where rehashing the blog of some random player qualifies as a column?
hm, maybe one of her (and every staffer's) secondary tasks is to Promote and increase traffic to other areas of the site - blogs, videos, comics, whatever.
