It looks like the BBC have got a real game geek on the staff, is interguild fighting really worthy of a news item?

well that news has been floating around for ages due to the fact that verrant cocked up big style and only allowed the dragon to spawn at the full moon (ie once a month) so all the healers could not kill it and there was fights and such due to this and people queing up

and well it is not DAoC so sucks anyway

After reading that Article, IMO, some People take MMORPG's WAaaayyy too seriously...

hrm wonder if Verant gave the bbc some nice holidays/prizes to give away on the tv programs...

have seen far too many adverts-masquerading-as-news on bbc.co.uk (one about web usability which was a blatant plug for the abbey national website...)
