I enjoy gaming, music and reading mostly, although these are sporadically interfered with by other fleeting interests. I am a Community Big Man - or I like to think I am - as I am involved in numerous sites right across the spectrum. Currently, I am the PR and Community Manager at SWTORBase.com and MySWTOR.com, a Moderator on Curse.com and a Moderator on WARDB.com, all of which I enjoy very much.
My next task is to start a semi-regular and hopefully well read blog here on MMORPG.com.
My hope is to one day do a Marketing and/or Public Relations Degree so that I can go on and become a PR Manager/Community Manager in the games industry, specifically working with MMO communities.
I''m a firm believer in pursuing what you feel you will enjoy doing over what you are told you should do, unless that pursuit is unrealistic.

I have to say that, as unfortunate as it is. This article strikes a sharp point into Blizzard's side. I have yet to totally figure out in my own mind, how an expansion that gave me…
Those of you that play World of Warcraft in the US pay $16 per month. It costs Blizzard somewhere in the region of $4 to provide the ongoing service (that includes ALL fees, including development costs (including new features like this)). That means…

You know what guys? Who care?
I'm enjoying Rift. The 49 other people I know who are playing Rift are enjoying it, and we'll continue to play it. Regardless of whether it has 1,000,000 subscribers or 300,000 subscribers. Amazingly an MMO is still q…
I happen to play in one of the largest and most active guilds on my server, and of late I've found that level 50 players are playing less. However only 3 of the many, many level 50 players in our guild have actually left the game. The others log in …
Furthermore, I can't see where all of this Rift hate is coming from.
Firstly, to the haters saying that it is "just another MMO"... Yes... it is. And Trion never claimed otherwise. IN FACT the main selling point of the title was that it was a trad…

The definition of an illegal activity is one that is specified as illegal in statute. Gold farming is illegal in no country in the world. None. InSouth Korea, the Supreme Court ruled that it was a legitimate business practice, subject to the same la…
As someone who worked in the RMT industry, and doesn't really care about the "power's that be" who don't really want people to speak openly about it (developers, publishers and RMT companies together), I'm perfectly happy to shed some light on why a…
Sadly it looks like neither Activision nor Blizzard are going to support the mod. His videos have been taken down from YouTube on copyright grounds, and there is a rumour that he's about to receive a cease and desist.
I'm amused right now because I posed a reality based on the actual way that MMOs are developed, and progressed over their life spam, and the only counter arguments I've seen so far are: one post that insulted me, one post that made a statement about…

My point is that the system in place in Rift creates the illusion of choice, but that there is - in reality - no real choice at all.
Yeah, I know what you mean.

Originally posted by Aguitha We all know 15$ a month is nothing. The point is why all MMO's think they can charge 15$ a month ? I mean dont tell me it cost the same to run WOW with 11 millions subs vs Vanguard with 20K (just an example). Fact is…

The idea that Blizzard would release a limited multiplayer, non-subscription action RPG to take on a subscription based MMORPG is laughable. It's a silly notion and I have no reason why this topic is being discussed.
You all need to get out more.
Sounds a lot like you are waiting for Vindictus, or a game very much like it. And sadly Nexon EU are the single worst developer/publisher in the Universe, and have made no effort to keep their community informed about when the game will release over…
