Two potentially harmful gaming practices have been discussed this past week: Keen ponders the impacts of zergs in Age of Conan, while The Heartless Gamer is annoyed by reports of ranged standoffs in Warhammer Online.

Syp asks some interesting WHAT IF questions, so I decided to write down my own answers over here. You can play along too! (Update #1 - Looks like Dave of Warhammer Gamers is playing!)

WoW PvE + DAOC RvR = Impossible?
It’s a PvP game, and as with any GOOD PvP-focused game, you have to make sacrifices on the PvE end to get good PvP.
I highly doubt that. That's like saying 640kb of memory ought to be enough for anybody. That's setting your sights pretty ...

I've been meaning to write about this for a while, but I wanted to make sure he stuck around first! Well, I think he's more than proved his desire to blog continuously about WAR (not that he needs to prove anything, to me especially!), so here's the love!

In the morning mist, two armies square off. The mass of greenskins is barely held in check by the threats of the warboss. Across the field, the dwarfen forces prepare to charge. A furious cry splits the air as the greenskin Waaagh! is unleashed. The dwarfen army immediately charges forth. ...

Taunt. Taunt is what makes the PvE world go round. It is the cornerstone of tanking for MMOs everywhere. Aggro pulling DPS classes take it for granted. Healers praise it as it saves their behind. It has come a long way since the first MMOs. It started out as simply ...
