Level UP!: Scott Hartsman - EQ2 will miss him.
Kicked From Raid: SOE EQ2 developers that moved a test server guild to a live server.

In what I have no reason to believe is related to the current EQ2 PR nightmare, Scott Hartsman has left the EverQuest 2 team.
"Ive never been a fan of saying goodbye, but its time. Today is my last day here at SOE.
In addition, Id like to say thank you.
Thank you all for playing in these worlds that Ive had the chance to touch over the past years.
Thank you for your boundless dedication and passion to what it is that weve all created here.
To many of you, thank you for your friendship. A lot of you have been nothing short of an extended family over the past years.
I will miss you all."
You can read Scott's entire letter here. All the best Scott!

I mentioned last week that Auran, the development house that built Fury had dismantled their team. David Gillespie, former Fury Producer has posted his take on the recent demise of the company. My question is, has GameCock actually published a successful game yet? Is there some correlation between this publisher and failure?

Now for some happy thoughts!
It's that time of year again... yes, male World of Warcraft players are once again controlling female Night Elves, half-dressed in elf costumes. You can see them dancing in Stormwind, GoldShire and virtually anywhere else that players congregate. Remember gents, that pixilated shemale is probably having her strings pulled by a 40-something man with his laptop resting on his beer gut. Enjoy the show!

You're a witty bunch, so our latest contest should be right up your alley.
Holiday Spoof-A-Long Forum ContestPick a song, change the words and make it a MMOG pop-hit!
Ahem... tap, tap, is this thing on?
Sung to the tune of, "We Three Kings Of Orient Are"
We three raiders of Warcraft are
Looking for Lewt we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
I'll soon be a Warcraft star.
O Lewt of wonder, Lewt of might
Lewt with royal beauty bright
Uber leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy raid fight
Born a peon on Barren's plain
Gold I need to level again
Play forever, ceasing never
Many levels to gain
O Lewt of wonder, Lewt of might
Lewt with royal beauty bright
Uber leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy raid fight
I'm sure you can do better. Enjoy!
