Tanks and Their Glass Ceiling
Yesterday's posting about Gear Pollution has been immediately followed by a new posting from Honor's Code about tanks and their glass ceiling today. Game design decisions seem to be interesting a lot of players, perhaps because we are close to a major patch and know that Cataclysm will hit sometime next year.

The State of MMOs
Thanks to Of Teeth and Claws I discovered this article about the current state of MMOs. Whether you agree or not, it is an excellent attempt to analyze the state of massively multiplayer PC games today.
