So this post by my good friend Dalmarus over at TenTonHammer, got the old nostalgia juices flowing yet again! I remember the days of corpse runs and the fun (at the time it was) getting back to your body and worldly possessions, the fact there was a character/class mechanic to help (Necromancers were never out of work summoning folk) and it made people think about what they were doing rather than just blindly running in as they do now.
So my question to you, of everything you have experienced (old and new) in your time playing MMO’s what elements of gameplay would you bring back and what would you get rid of – if you were the developer?
Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear the reasons behind your choices as well

Inspired somewhat by the recent post on WildStar Central and Allstar 's article over at MMORPG.com I thought it would be good to see what folk here remembered as their most epic moment in MMO gaming history. Was it the first time you stepped in to the world and gazed at wonder at everything, through to the first time you were involved in raiding or maybe that crafted epic item that cost you in time and fortune, it could be just as simple as PvP fun in the open world.
Let us know in the comments what you remember most, what was that one epic moment in your (MMO) gaming history?...

On the Saturday evening after dinner there were two competitions held for attendees to get involved in, as we are a competitive bunch we of course got involved in both.
First up was a speed run of Stormtalon’s Lair, a PvE five-man dungeon available to players at level 22, this was the first time that the dungeon had been playable and was only actually revealed a few days prior to the ArkShip weekend.
Our group consisted of a Stalker (yours truly) Kephir healing on an Esper, Fallanx tanking on a Warrior, Tvar dpsing on a Warrior and Merketh supporting on a hybrid build Spellslinger.
Due to this being a competition we rushed through the instance and sadly did not pay much attention to the smaller details like loot and scenery. But to compare it to any recent games I have to say that WildStar PvE is a mix of WoW’s smoothness and combat combined...

So a few weeks ago as most of you will know by now, a few of us were invited to the WildStar Fan event ArkShip in Brighton, UK. The event was held in the Hilton hotel on the beach and oddly enough it was a sunny weekend in Brighton (apparently it rains a lot there)!
The event was manned by staff from Carbine and NCSOFT. Leading the charge was the charismatic Troy “Aether” Hewitt, Community Director and Producer, his right hand man Global Community Manager Loic “Atreid” Claveau and European Community Manager Aidan “Faelan” Taylor compered the day and evening activities and introduced the rest of the team that was there:
Carbine:
Chad Moore - Lead Narrative Designer
Jon Jelinek - Lead 3D Artist...
