The Best Of The Rest: i-Fairy Edition
A lotta hoop-la about this about communities in MMORPGs or, more specifically, the community in World of Warcraft, all in response to Wolfshead’s controversial article. Man, I love a bit of hullabaloo in the morning. Of course, all of this pales in comparison to the iFairy, a magical robot which marries couples in Japan. Now that’s technological progress.
Anyhoo, onward with the linketh loveth!

3 years too late.
Ha! Yep
Muchas gracias once again. Must have been hard to find so many non-wolfshead-response posts this week
Your more than welcome! Really enjoyed your post
Agreed; I just picked up Scrusi on my blogroll, and I’m enjoying the archives and new posts.
IP and “eSports” are interesting things… ultimately, I think one just has to “follow the money”, to quote an overused maxim. IP law is a really weird animal, but more often than not, it’s those with the money to make the courts jump that really shape how the laws fall out. I know, nothing new there, but it’s been a good thing to keep in the back of my head when I’m pondering IP implications.
…oh, and thanks for the link. I wasn’t sure anyone would bother reading that wall of text. Apparently, there are a few people who are happy with The Way Things Are, and thought exercises outside of that box just don’t tend to go down well.
Least I can do to show my appreciation for good articles
Wow, your blog looks so awesome
Thanks, I’ll pass on your comments to the designer
