POST STUFF
Lately I have been wondering where to invest my spare time; my love for MMOs and online games is still strong, but I might be suffering from "mmo fatigue". As my friends wait impatiently for the release of Aion and after various conversations of how the game will bring real "pvp" to the MMO scene a lá Dark Age of Camelot; my interest for the game keeps diminishing.

I know people that have never played AoC's revolutionary combat are going to knock it as "dumb DDR combat" because they are not open f… More
