The Daily Grind
January 26, 2009 by frankyfaithless
If you're anything like I am, when you're not enjoying the every-day grind of life, you're enjoying the every game-day grind of Internet Dragons. Yes, this is indubitably a post about the growing phenomenon that is Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. Ever since mainstream MMO titles such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI in the mid-2000s, everybody and their pet-fish has been trying to get a slice of the once hardcore-nerd-centric MMO-cake; some, even, with dreams to deliver the 1-2 knock-out combo to the current reigning Heavyweight Champion of the world, WoW. This boom in the MMORPG market is most definitely the result of a new found awareness of the profit of maintaining a stable MMORPG, as most prestigious MMORPGs not only require you to buy a retail-copy of the game, but also to pay a monthly fee of roughly 15$USD(Approx. 20~$ CAD).

Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
