From all places, Salon.Com has a new piece up on internet MM dinosaurs (namely, MU*) that still have life today. If you ever wondered why people still play these things, when they could be off playing something like AC or EQ, give the article a read, and I'm sure you'll come to agree with the author.

A great new article is up over on Happy Puppy (I didn't even know they had articles...thanks AO Basher). It provides a fantastic solution to the lowering of the bar syndrome that all MM titles seem to be suffering (that kewl d00d thingy I keep talking about): Charge more money fo rthe game.
Both for its historical background, as well as its opinions on the state of the market today, this article is a very good read.

You may have noticed that this site has been open since 1/8/01, and yet we're missing all the news items that happened from that point up through the 18th. You may have also noticed a signifigant lack of updates in the past couple of days.
What can I say? I lost 30GB to Hard Drive Heaven on Monday, and I've been left here in Hell.
Things appear to be back on track now, and Meat and I have been updating like madmen all afternoon. Hopefully, we can return to the cutting edge (hah!) of MM news in the next couple of days.
I'm even planning on making updates on the weekend... So there, you nay-sayers.

Apparantly some silly folks figured out a way to crash the AC servers. Not soon afterward the AC team came up with a HotFix. Too bad they couldn't come up with good content/quests that fast, huh? January 23, 2001

If you're an Asheron's player, you'll be happy to know that the guys at the Zone have Opened a New Server. This one's called Wintersebb, not that the name really has anything to do with ...well, anything. Hopefully, this will knock down some of the congestion on all the other servers.
