Rebecca Scudder — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:23:00 GMT

Ahoy, Matey! This is a celebration you may well never have heard of, but you can read about it on their site Talk Like a Pirate Day. And, of course, you'll need a pirate name to celebrate properly! Read the MMO channel's review of Pirate Name Generators to find your own personal pirate name- for September 19th, or any old day you want to be a pirate.

Your favorite WoW or MMO resource sites (besides Bright Hub!)

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'd love to hear about some of your favorite WoW or other MMO sites that improve your gaming experience.

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.

MMO Gaming Dictionary - Help us expand it!

We have begun a project here called the MMO Gaming Dictionary. 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. (NOTE: Currently you have to create a Bright Hub account to reply to blog posts like this one).

Everquest is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Adele Caelia has recently shared with us an amazingly insightful interview with Sr. Game Designer, Ryan Barker, and Veteran player Ryan Tirrell.

We know there are many current and former Everquest players who read the MMO channel, and we'd like to hear some of your stories about favorite moments from Everquest.

Don't be shy. Share your tales of glory!

Pop Culture References in WoW

Michael Hartman — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:50:02 GMT

Our own Benjamin Sell recently wrote an excellent and very entertaining article about pop culture references in WoW. Obviously it would be impossible to list them all, or even know what they all are! So we would like our readers to share some of the ones they have found in their own gameplay.

Please post your own finds here. Links to pictures and screneshots would be great too!

WoW Inside Jokes - Post your own!

Michael Hartman — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:31:43 GMT

Our own AdeleCaelia recently wrote an article about the best inside jokes in World of Warcraft. She picked some great ones, but narrowing it down to five was definitely not easy.

How did she do?

Any glaring omissions?

What are your favorites?

Post them here! We'd love to read about them, and perhaps we can write a followup story in the future to include more.
