Moderating
Community Managers
I
am here in Seattle for the ION Conference. I really enjoy this conference because it’s well run,
focused like a laser on the MMO industry, and also a great reason to be in a
city where fish throwing is an actual business!

That's Progress!
In our last episode,
I lamented the lack of roleplaying games in my
life. And then, I undertook a refresher course in table-top roleplaying this weekend to prepare me for a new
adventure!

Missed!
When I missed a day of school, I
would usually return feeling a little out of step with the rest of the class.
A similar thing happens here on EQII when you miss a day of work.

Meet Brad Wilcox, Executive Director of Global Customer Service. Gaming and Technology is his passion and when he is not getting yelled at by the wife to put down the mouse and get off the computer (EQ2 is his game of the moment) and mow the lawn, he is spending time and money on collectible card games or sports trading cards and action figures.
