In the face of doom and the end of the MMO world as we know it (…), it’s appropriate to focus on the fresh and new. It’s been a while since my last New Bloggers on the Blogroll roundup, so this Friday is dedicated solely to some great and new (to me) writers that have made it into my much tended blogroll over the past few weeks. And yes – you’ve probably encountered many of them by now, if you’ve in any way followed the NBI some time ago, but I do things in my own time and spreading the attention is never a bad thing. The blogosphere also never seizes to amaze in terms of surfacing older blogs I’ve never countered for some unknown and no doubt shady reason. Alas.
Without much more needless explanation, I’d like to highlight those few MM-O/game bloggers who have caught my eye more recently. They’re generally awesome and fulfill different criteria I am personally looking for – a variety in perspective, consistent, intelligent writing, creativity and a sense of humor. Alternatively, their site just looks pretty……err needles to say, pay them a visit sometime!
While I am pointing out places you should know, I’d like to make the MMO Melting Pot my special mention of the week: it’s come to my attention that the center of the geeky gamers bloggiverse, or Hugh’s MMO crossroad as I like to think of it, is still unknown to many a blogger and blogreader out there. How that’s even possible after 2 years of busy meta-blogging I don’t know, but anyway – if you’re in any way looking to follow the comings and goings in the blogosphere with more ease and are tired to miss out on some of the good stuff, the Pot is the place to go for some great reads and weekly highlights. There’s also ways you can actively contribute or just spread the word to make the Pot an even livelier, buzzing MMO blogging hub for everybody!
With that I’m off to the weekend to plant that proverbial tree, maybe even in The Secret World. To the rest of you I wish, as always, wonderful online adventures and many new beginnings ahead. Happy weekend everybody!
Thanks so much for the plug 🙂 It’s amazing that even in a sphere as rarefied as “general MMO bloggers” I’m still occasionally finding good bloggers I didn’t know about. When I found you during the NBI, my reaction was “How did I not know about this awesome blog?”
Aw thanks very much! 🙂 and indeed funny how such small a scene can still prove to be rather spread all over the place. am really happy I ended up here, been enjoying myself a lot over the past two years and feel like my fun with blogging still keeps increasing every week.
Thanks for the link love! I will have to check some of the others too as I don’t think I checked their blogs yet! 🙂
I think I thanked you in person or at least on twitter…. but figure I should totally say thank you for the link love here too 🙂
You’re all very welcome! and I look forward to read more from you in the future!
Yes, thanks for the link! I’m glad you enjoy our blog!
