With games of nearly every conceivable style and players from every
corner of the globe, free-to-play gaming is easily the most dynamic
group in all of MMOG land. While we may be separated by different games
and different languages, chances are we have a lot in common. Forging a
community of free-to-play gamers may be the best way to recognize these
similarities, but can such a diverse group come together? Join Jason
“Medawky” Bolton as he ponders the best way to unite the free-to-play
community in this week’s Microcosms.

style="border: 1px inset ; text-shadow: none;"> style="text-shadow: none;">With all of the conventions going
on these days, and so many of them having some sort of MMOG presence,
it’s almost surprising that there isn’t a convention devoted to
free-to-plays. While I would love for my pipe dream to become reality
there are several questions that need to be answered first. Could such
an event make it? Is there enough demand and popularity for these
games? Could I snub Blizzard if they wanted to come? The answers I come
up with are yes, yes, and who am I to judge the maker of the mighty
sparkle ponies. Probably the more appropriate question would be whether
a community could be be forged from such a diverse group of players.
