Random thought of the day:

Ever notice how some of the biggest self-proclaimed authorities on MMO’s often have no characters higher than level 35  in any particular game?  I’ve been reading a lot of new blogs and even paid fansites lately where the writers are involved in 27 different MMO’s right now, but couldn’t properly explain what a 2 year old zone looks like because they spend no more than five hours per game every third week.

Follow-up thought:

(Must remember to level up past 35 tonight.  )

I’ve been involved in a running discussion with a few old folks today regarding Master I spell scrolls in Everquest II.  A couple of questions were raised during the discussion that I thought were compelling enough to inspire me to bring in a slider wider audience:

• Should Master I’s drop more frequently in group instances?
• Should Master I’s only drop from Epic targets?
• Should “SmartLoot(TM)” be applied to Masters so that only needed Masters drop?
• Should Master I’s be tagged “no trade”?

Ok, let ‘er rip.  Start your engines and get to click-clacking on those keyboards.  I want to hear opinions here.
