Only a few months ago I had just 100k gold. That gold took me (literally) a decade to accrue. If you asked me about making gold in WoW I would have told you that it was only doable by getting lucky, gaming the system, being a first mover, or taking advantage of some stupid system ..read more

What has the elusive Keen been up to these past few weeks? Honestly, I'm immersed in WoW. There are those who will exclaim, "Heretic! That's not old school! It's a filthy themepark! Wow sucks!"  While my enjoyment of WoW for the past 10 months feels strangely hypocritical, given I've had years of nothing but horrible ..read more

MMOs are always healthiest right around that launch window in the first three months. The community is fresh, the game is relatively unknown, and the excitement levels are always highest for the community right from the start. Personally, I think the best time to play a MMO is around launch.

I stopped blogging for several weeks after several other weeks of being in it half heartedly. I think the lost drive can be attributed to many things, but mainly the absence of the MMO industry.
