EVE Blog Banter #8 – Return of the Top Gun
Its that time of the month again, time to get my banter on and join my fellow EVE bloggers in a discussion about our favourite game…
Persistence and Storytelling in MMOs
I was going to simply respond in the comments of this post. but it got so long winded and involved that I thought I’d better post it here rather than hijack someone elses blog. Read on for my take on one of the stickiest problems in MMO creation.
Barnett, Goldacre, and LBC Update
The Botherer (AKA John Walker of Rock, Paper, Shotgun.) has been following the events surrounding the subject of this post more closely than I and has posted a concise summary on his blog.
