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!

A glorious evening to you all, noble warriors in the Snark army! It is time once again for your Secretary of Geek affairs to fill you in on some of the awesome news of the last week. My apologies for the lateness of the post, but I was feeling a bit under the weather today and so, unfortunately, has Mama McGreevy. Never worry, though! I did manage to gather a few tidbits to quench your thirst for geek knowledge, and you’ll find them behind the cut.

The schedule is pretty much done, and the gang is hard at work on the remaining “to do list” items for Dragon*Con this year.  And recent interactions with my staff have indicated that I am getting just a little bit ill-tempered, so this week, I’ll be stepping back and taking a break from D*C prep.

What does Grim do for fun, you ask?

Oddly enough, not much MMO playing.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still play a bit, but currently, I’m working on integrating this site with Facebook, particularly our new application and fan page.  Now that might sound perilously close to working on D*C, but I’m looking at this from a “hey, this is a technical challenge” standpoint and indulging my inner hacker by trying to figure out how all this stuff works.  It’s very much a work-in-progress, but it’s been quite fun so far.

Of course, my wife has a long list of suggestions for things to do besides Dragon*Con stuff, and I’ve been working on those too.  Expect things to be kinda quiet around here for a week or so, but we’ll be back next week for the home stretch.  If you really need to reach me, that’s what we have the contact form for, or you could even try Facebook or Twitter.  Less than 3 months to go until Dragon*Con!

To be honest, the D*C MMO title wasn’t working for us. Well, that and can you imagine what it’s like trying to edit out at least half of what we’re saying? Brutal – especially when you’re dealing with a messed-up hand.

Thus, we opted to reimagine the entire podcast, and have rebranded it SnarkCast. In this, our official first edition of SnarkCast, we discuss D*C MMO bidness, sure – but we also wander across the landscape from MMO drama to just what the heck is wrong with FreeRealms. Add in a healthy dose of Hentai, and you have the first-ever SnarkCast.

Admittedly, the engineering on this one is a bit rough, but we’re still working that out. As always feedback, suggestions, or gifts of chocolate-covered espresso beans are welcome!

About

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

Who are we?

DC*MMO has a dozen staff members who work year-round to prepare for each year’s Dragon*Con. 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.
