Some random conversations I’ve had over the past few weeks in World of Warcraft:
First, I continue my search for a professional gold farmer that can speak Spanish if not English. Four years of high school Spanish didn’t do me a damn bit of good.
Plus, I probably forgot 90% of what I learned.

Next, doing our own bit of farming in Winterspring — we’re amateurs, remember! That’s an important distinction.
From the ever-fruitful World of Warcraft forums, is it a spoof or another naive player burned by the realities of greed in online gaming? My Guild was Hijacked! Excerpted … “My guild, Pajama Party, was a successful UBRS-level raiding guild. However, we wanted to expand our raiding experience into end-game raids like Zul’Gurub and the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj. So, we began looking to merge with another guild.” That was Mistake #2. MMO Truth #ILostTrack: Everyone is looking to cut the best deal for themselves. That doesn’t include you, brother. (Furl archive for when the thread disappears.)
Wikipedia has a weekly gaming collaboration project that needs your help — not my help, what the hell do I ever know? Nothing, that’s what. This week’s project is the 65th article spotlighted for additional content and editing and it focuses on Bioforge, a 1995 RPG by Origin. If only we could harness all this gaming energy into solving the problems that have plagued humans over the ages, we might have something here.
