Hey everyone! Krystalle from Massively.com here. I hope you all made it home safe and sound and are enjoying being back at home with your gaming computers, in your comfy chairs/beds. I know I’ve missed my beloved office! (That’s an old picture of it above. Much more filled with geekstuff now.)

I’d like to take a moment to thank all our awesome sponsors and contributors, as well as the many guests who came to lend their own brand of awesome to our track this year:

Track sponsors:

Guests / Panelists:

And those who, while unable to make it, contributed prizes for us to give away!

Without our above sponsors and guests, we wouldn’t have been able to pull off the epic win of this year’s MMO track. Many thanks, everyone!

Also, I wanted to take a moment to post some of the information from my panels, since some people did not grab the handouts I’d made. You can find it all after the break!

Kid-friendly MMOs / Virtual Worlds:

Free-to-play & Freemium MMOs:

Upcoming MMOs:

If you have any questions about materials covered during any of my panels, feel free to ping me. You can email me at krystalle AT massively DOT com, or say hello on Twitter.

Hopefully, we’ll see you all next year!

I would STRONGLY recommend checking the Daily Dragon… Daily. As a special treat for those of you who come to this site early and often, I’ll give you one for free.

Our “Morning Coffee and Snarkcast” on Saturday morning will feature an interview with Jeff “Vork” Lewis.

I’ll give you some hints for some of our other surprises, but you’ll need to check the Daily Dragon to find out for sure.

Hint #1: ROFLMAO
Hint #2: He lost more than his heart in that cantina, and likes to show up at one of our panels unannounced.

More to come… =)

John de Lancie – A very enjoyable actor who has made a Star Trek deity a household name “Q”.  http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/John_de_Lancie

Larry Hagman – He played a billionaire who gets shot, and it all started with a little rub on a tacky oil lamp…

but its contents were very niiiiice.

And if we threw them all into a show together we might get… “Q” got Busted for Dreaming of Jeannie?

Never mind, I tried too hard again.
