Hell, I'm out! ;P
I am, however, not nearly good enough to even bother trying to write...anywhere. 
I'll cheer from the sidelines at least.
Anyone willing to buy me a new computer and some games?
But I don't really play any MMORPG's
I would be an interesting choice to write for EQ, though, you have to admit. And I *do* have a fairly high level character that I could start playing again if it meant I could write for a prominent website
And I can make shit up!
And Spelling and grammar are fine, when I pay attention.
However.
Punctuation is my little mexican whore. I use, abuse, and mistreat her, then throw some pesos at her when she complains about all that "Closure" and "Attachment" crap.

Jesus fuck, shut the hell up already. Whining about a buggy beta stopped being funny a long time ago.

Take a joke for what it is, Fal. I still can't play, silly servers.

Like I said. It was funny the first couple times. Then it became tolerable. Then it became annoying when EVERYONE was "joking". Jokes aren't funny when they are overused. Remember how "LOL XBOX IS HUEG" stopped being funny after awhile too? How AYB stopped being funny after awhile? Sure, its funny for a bit. But not forever. When you do it constantly, it becomes less of a joke and more of a whine veiled as a joke.
I'm not being "High and Mighty". I'm simply failing to grasp the concept of why you sign up for a beta test if you aren't EXPECTING shit to be fucked up. An occasional rant, sure. Thats cool. Sometimes betas are just crappy.
But...servers down. OK. This is a stress test. Better they fix this now than later when people are paying. [ 04-29-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]

You shoulda seen the Monroevill sports center, though! (Where the wrestling match was held)
It was so huge that if they cut out a small section of the doors, they could fit TWO XBOXES IN IT! OMG!
See, the difference between AYB, OMG XBOX IS HUGE LOL and the instability of PS is the fact that they had a REALLY REALLY stable game before the open beta started. The servers were up for almost a week, and as long as you didn't jump out of your air vehicle after you warped, you usually didn't crash. Of course, the small memory leak got you after your seventh zone, but that takes a while.
Now they've "improved" it, and borked the stability. When they fix the stability, they'll bork the improvements.
I mean, this is the same company that made Everquest, yaknow.
