The State of MMOs from a Developer's Perspective

I've got a wonderful article for you tonight in which a developer looks at MMOs and the problems they face from the perspective of a game maker, not a game player. Andrew is Karthias (a terrific writer and former Feral Druid blogger) and DDO is Dungeons and Dragons Online.  DCUO is DC Universe Online.  Read the comments here for more interesting discussion.

Here's the article that the writer is reacting to.

Interesting reads especially since I think Blizzard has console envy.   I can see PCs and consoles becoming more and more alike in the Gold Rush that is the melding of television and Internet and gaming and downloaded content like movies.
