/STUPID MARKETING GIMMICK

CNN, always at the forefront of news as it breaks around the world a week ago, reports on the EQ2 /pizza command. Only this time they've got something meaty to chew on in the form of a quote from Chris Kramer, SOE Minister of Information.

"The goal for the future is to eventually let people do more things like this," Kramer said. "They could type /harry potter and get the new Harry Potter book delivered or /star wars and get the new Star Wars DVD."

Call me when you implement a "/stop the world, I want to get off" command and we'll do business. Alternatively, I'd settle for "/dark elves gone wild".

Meanwhile, MMO widows wept. And then they wept some more.

That second link is just sad. How can an adult abandon his family like that? My Gawd, I thought I was the spawn of Satan when I missed two of my son's Sunday afternoon soccer games in a row... I swore off my EQ account over that.
