OK guys, here's the deal. I'm writing now. Professionally. Sort of. I pretend that I'm professional, and so should you. So the idea here is that your job is to support me so that I can get a raise, and then one day buy a car.

Why do you want to help me buy a car?

Well because if I have a car, I'll totally start writing about stuff here too.

Totally.

So the deal is, I'm going to post a tidbit of the articles I write, and you will read the full article and then post about how you love it!

Yay!

HERE WE GO!

Playing an MMORPG is a lot like living in Canada or the USA. While you may vote, the fact remains that your government has probably done a lot of things that you’re not particularly fond of (I’m looking at you, University tuition). There also remains the fact that there is very little you can do, aside from joining those hilariously drunk student gatherings where everyone rents a bus and goes ‘somewhere’ in order to demonstrate that they have no money to pay for school. In reality, this is about the same when it comes to our own MMORPGs. While it is true that there are very hard working developers who are constantly trawling the communities for ideas to bring back to their caves, chances are, the most significant changes that are added into an MMO are implemented according to the will of the parent company. I really can’t recall a time when I was asked “Would you like us to raise the level cap to 80?” in World of Warcraft. On the other hand, while I would be fairly flattered if I was asked this question, basing key development ideas off of my coin-toss decision making abilities is a great way to anger your fan base.

Take, for example. . .

I will fill the world with more handsomeness, but I'm just being paid to do so. On the plus side, I will also be getting my own column in the coming days, which thusly means I can revert to talking about penises.

Penii.

Whichever.
