Happy Tuesday Folks, We’re well on our way into the week. So, to make work/school go a little quicker for you, we bring you our fifteenth attempt at MMO Radio. I think we’re getting this down 🙂 Ferrel was stuck in Germany due to the volcano, so we spent a little time talking about the …

On PuGs and Progression in WoW
Word on the street has it that Blizzard is planning some big changes for the WoW raiding game come Cataclysm. The current plan, as I understand it, is that 10 and 25 man raids will now drop the same gear. There’s a little more to it, so here’s the bullet list from MMO Champion: 10-Man …
A Place for PvP
I’ve been playing LotRO as my main MMO for a few months now whose main PvP is monster play. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that PvP in LotRO is pretty well borked. It just feels like an afterthought; like they got done with a PvE game and realized they’d left out some …
To the Defenders of the $25 Horse:
Take a second to read this article because it beautifully articulates the general defense of the $25 pony. There are lots of them out there but Cuppy was kind of enough to throw them all into one.

Revisiting the Lowbie Experience (LotRO)
This past weekend was a good one. I got some work done, spent some quality time with my wife at home, and some quality time with a lifelong friend in LotRO. It’s been a long time since I’ve found myself adventuring through Ered Luin, the dwarf and elf starting zone. The last time was actually …
Time to Understand the Gold Farmers
Happy Easter, everyone! Hopefully this day will be filled we happy times and laughter with your families. My own awaits this morning, but I wanted to stop in and share a sentiment in the spirit of the day. Let’s cut the gold farmers some slack. I know that’s not something you’d expect to hear from …
Rewind: Should MMOs be Made From Books?
The following post was originally published on September 15th, 2009. It’s an intriguing topic, in my opinion, especially so with LotRO becoming more popular and titles like SW:TOR filling up our gaming horizons. What do you think, should MMOs be made from books and existing IPs or is there more value in creating a new …

Blizzard has long been the king of April Fools’ day joke but this one takes the cake. Check it out. Aye, thus she spoke.
