  • Dying: It's what Extra Lives are For

    Frustration tastes nothing like chicken, for the record.

    The Lord of the Rings Online staff takes a look at death penalties this week in a pair of opposing editorials which mock no one. No one but veteran MMOG players. Martuk's earlier editorial examined the need for stricter death penalties citing a number of great examples, but RadarX has a more moderate approach using unrefutable logic such as "nuh uh" and "doy." Don't miss out on the second part of our series on death, it'll slay you.

In this week's editorial Martuk examines the death penalties of past and current MMOs and reflects on their influence on current ones such as Lord of the Rings Online.
