Fuck you, Mythic, for wasting my time Fuck you for making another treadmill. Fuck you for making another damn carbon copy of a game. Fuck you for forcing Combatants to dance to your damn tune before they can play the game the way they want to. I would send a polite e-mail, but I doubt it would be heard. I would post on a forum, but it would just be "Beating a dead horse", right? Right. Full Story Posted September 24 2001 by Paradox Equation

Responding to the Attack: Tonight I had the privilege of sitting in on a discussion by Dr. John Mayer the Development Director of the "Center for Youth Resource. " Dr. Mayer has doctorate in Psychology who tours the area speaking at schools, has spoken at the White House and offered Counseling Services during the Columbine Tragedy. Each month he produces a periodical titled Dr. Mayer's Memo, which is distributed to faculty at schools to help with issues that teachers and parents may have. This month his article deals with the tragedy we dealt with this week. As a parent, brother and uncle this really helped when speaking about the events to those within my family that look to me for guidance, and it is a great help if you are in a similar situation, and wondering, just what do you say.

This does not bode well. Full Story Posted September 11 2001 by Paradox Equation

AO Quick Hits: Checking out whats going on in the AO Community, here is a couple of tidbits I found surfing around. Zarr from AO Fixer announced on his site his was bailing and the site is up for sale. Greetings fellow fixers. I have decided to leave Anarchy Online due to too many reasons to list. This is probably a shock to many of you, but it is something I must do. I will be selling the site along with everything in it (pages/msgboard/domain) most likely in an auction. If you would be interested in making this purchase or for more details about the monthly stats, please leave me a private message. Goodbye Hope to see you in Dark Age of Camelot! Meanwhile the FunCom folks are busy at a party after hours of ECTS which you can read about over on EuroGamers and this account from the convention. Conventions and slamming are off limits by the way. Posted September 6 2001 by Div Devlin

Quick Gets robbed! There was a reason that so many folks were told not to register with Anarchy Online upon it's release. They were using unsecured servers, and everyone knows, you never transmit your Credit Card info, unless your using a throwaway card with a low limit, across the web on an unsecured server. Sure enough, somehow, someway, the possibility that Quick of BattleVortex got ripped by someone/s when registering his game account happened. Full Story Posted September 4 2001 by Div Devlin

Another Piece to the Puzzle Those crazy tattooed half-elves finally have some lore of their own. Find it here! This is a great story once again by Wolfpack that allows for more interaction with the world before the game is even released. Unfortunately the article also states that this is the last of the Race Lore for some time. Oh my! How wonderful for all of the undeniably hard core addicts this game has enthralled already! • Those of you building Guild or Character histories, take note! Though it seems like an Age of Days since we last updated it, the World History section has been reorganized and enriched with troves of new information. Included is a General Timeline of the history of Aerynth along with detailed timelines of the Age of Kings and the Age of Strife. You want dates? We got 'em! You never know when this stuff might come in handy... That little last bit... "You never know when this stuff might come in handy" tells me that their might be some puzzles in the game concerning the timeline of Shadowbane. Well infer your own theories, we still have awhile for this one. Original Article here Posted September 1 2001 by Hieros
