What to do with a blog. My problem is I swing from short comments which assume you know what I mean or I go full rant. Also - many items I wish to rant about could be news items or articles. Other folks reviews are just a more ordered or requested blog anyway. There are many aspects of MMO's I feel a justified or righteous view on - but after checking my facts and sources properly I may as well make an article about it lol. Sort of kills the moment. I will use the blog for now to ponder articles to come, changes to the site I may do and anything thats makes my blood boil ( as then all ethical considerations go flying out of the window lol).

Feel free to comment - though be aware I can and will flame back :) And I am the admin for a change - usually I get banned. Wonder what madness I could kick off where folks have previously been able to stop me. Lucky I didnt have this blog the day GameSpot suspended my account lol. Had an account there since 1994 I think and had posted...0 times. Reason being - nothing appealed enough and I wont flame without a context. I will, for example, challenge Sins of the solar empire's assertion its a mmorts. And I will shortly use it to highlight our genre - along the lines of " if you liked that..... I got something just over here you might like more "

But I have played MMORTS now for about 5 - 6 years I think - it gets fuzzy. WoW players think a 6 hour raid is a grind - well try playing up to 4-5am vs Americans etc for two weeks solid and work too lol. Wars in Boundless Planet lasted weeks and usually kicked off on new worlds too. The best was the Malvenas war - where a group of South Americans arrived and sorely tested our endurance. Cool hombres now - I called them a lot of names at the time lol. We won but the stress of not knowing was superb. Time to work so more thoughts whenever.
