About

 

DC*MMO is a year-round community of gamers and fans of the Programming Track at Dragon*Con. Rather than a Facebook page, a LiveJournal page, a Twitter feed, a MySpace page, and a hundred other sources of , we created this site as the official source of all and of interest to the * community.

Who are we?

has a dozen staff members who work year-round to prepare for each year’s . In addition to maintaining this website, we have to research new games (yes, playing games is part of the job), talk to community relations staff, come up with contests and prizes, and most of all work the convention itself and make sure our guests and fans get where they are supposed to go. It’s fun work, but it never ever ends.

A partial list of the games that we cover includes:

Age of Conan
Anarchy Online
AQ Worlds
Champions Online
City of Heroes
DC Universe Online
EVE Online
Everquest
Everquest 2
Force of Arms
Free Realms
Gaia Online
Guild Wars
Kingdom of Loathing
Lord of the Rings Online
Pirates of the Burning Sea
Second Life
Star Trek Online
Star Wars Galaxies
Stargate Worlds
Tabula Rasa
Vanguard
Warhammer Online
and, of course…
World of Warcraft

If there is a game that you would like to see us cover, of if you are a game developer who wants to participate in Dragon*Con, please Contact Us and let us know.

Our “month off” is almost over, which means we will be starting our plans for next year’s soon.   I’ll post some feedback on what we thought worked well, and what we thought we could do better on for next year.  It would really help us out if you guys did the same.

What do you want more of?

What can we do without?

What can we do differently?

What games would you like to see represented next year?

I’m fairly certain that we will not be in the Sheraton next year, but that determination isn’t up to me and is quite a way off.  Assume, for the time being, that we will be in an unknown location.  What kinds of things will improve our track regardless of where it is held?

Also… One of the things we can ALWAYS use more of is “Subject Matter Experts”.  This year, for example, I had to run the Online panel because nobody on my staff played the beta, and /EA had to cancel at the last minute.  If you are willing to run a panel, and have some expertise on an , then step on up and let me hear from you.   As much as I might try, I can’t play more than 2 or 3 ’s at any given time.
