This is a celebration you may well never have heard of, but you can read about it on their site <a href="http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html" target="_blank">Talk Like a Pirate Day</a>. And, of course, you&#39;ll need a pirate name to celebrate properly! Read the MMO channel&#39;s review of <a href="http://budurl.com/2cjr" target="_self">Pirate Name Generators</a> to find your own personal pirate name- for September 19th, or any old day you want to be a pirate.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.brighthub.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=49371" width="1" height="1">rebeccascudderhttp://www.brighthub.comhttp://www.brighthub.com/members/rebeccascudder.aspxhttp://www.brighthub.com/video-games/mmo/blog/archive/2009/04/14/your-favorite-wow-or-mmo-resource-sites-besides-bright-hub.aspx2009-04-14T20:38:28Z2009-04-14T20:38:28Z<p>MMOs are so complicated and packed with content that one often needs a little help from online tools and databases. Benjamin Sell has written a great article this month about WoW fansites and online tools. We&#39;d love to hear about some of your favorite WoW or other MMO sites that improve your gaming experience.</p> <p>Post them here and tell us about them. If you run one of them, feel free to go ahead and post about your site and tell us what you have to offer.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.brighthub.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=31914" width="1" height="1">mhartmanhttp://www.brighthub.comhttp://www.brighthub.com/members/mhartman.aspxhttp://www.brighthub.com/video-games/mmo/blog/archive/2009/03/24/mmo-gaming-dictionary-help-us-expand-it.aspx2009-03-24T08:39:13Z2009-03-24T08:39:13Z<p>We have begun a project here called the <a href="http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/mmo/articles/29882.aspx" target="_blank">MMO Gaming Dictionary</a>. The idea is to define some of the confusing or arcane terms that are commonly used while discussing MMOs. I created three articles to get the project off its feet. I invite all of our readers to suggest additions to these three articles. Please respond to this blog post with your own MMO terms and definnitions.
