A few hours ago I was reading through my emails and received an update from one of my favorite gaming sites, MMORPG.COM, that caught my eye. MMORPG has a column called "community spotlight" that takes forum conversations and highlights them as a blog post. I posted a quick response to the article (see if you can figure out who I am once I post this) but I felt like I had a lot more to say than I wanted to leave in the comments.
I feel that there is a lost opportunity every time a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) gets shut down. It's not because of the subscribers that they lose when they stop accepting their money. It's because those subscribers (and probably many more people) would love to have their own version of the game that they can play at home by themselves or with friends even after the game has been shut down for good.
