We promise we're not fishing here. Nope, we definitely don't want you to proclaim your love for a certain website you might be reading right now. Not at all. Instead, we're interested: what MMO blogs do you read on a regular basis? Are you a fan of
Raph Koster's view of the world? Maybe you're an aficionado of
Van Hemlock's Tuesday Noob Club or the
Ramblings of Ole' Bald Angus the Monk?
Whatever your preference, let us know. We're always looking for new folks to read and inspire new features, articles, and (of course) posts of our own. What's your favorite MMO-related blog?

I like a site called Massively.com. Lots of interesting posts ranging from all MMOs. :)
It isn't a blog, but I also check RPG Planet a lot which includes a lot of MMO news.

I like Massively, as well as TTH and MMORPG.com (although Massively wins for best RSS feed, because I can read the majority of the article in the feed reader, while the other sites just give lame one sentence teasers. Booo)

I dunno about that "Massively" blog. They're sneaky buggers over there, don'tcha' know?
Jaye's blog always intrigues me. I enjoy her take on things, plus she talks about Vanguard.

I prefer stuff like tobolds and Scott Jennings (lum) they are more down to the point rather than just loads of mindless spam. Although I do keep most of them on RSS, it seems the quality of content at massively is not the highest but it's certain the most prolific.
If tobol was a sniper rifle, that would make Massively a shotgun or to be more precise a minigun.
But as for people like Raph koster who think they are actually gods give to MMO gaming rather than the reality of old dogs kept around cos they were good in the old days rather than put out of their misery, Richard Garriot is another one of the 'old school' who still thinks he's a gaming god putting out tripe for the masses to feed on.
Hrm think I got a bit off topic here :P

World of Blogcraft. However, I have a slight bias. :P

Well, mine is www.mahoganyfinish.org.
But I'd have to say my favorite is Van Hemlock. By a long shot.

I like Massively, because my filters at work don't block it.
Apparently it's neither a blog, nor about games, as most of the others are.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Previously, I was a big fan of MMORPG, but mainly just because they gave stuff away.

We're working on that. ;)

I think it's a tie between Tobold and Van Hemlock, although VH might win on his podcasting merit alone.
(Why has no one mentioned Mmognation yet?!)

I like Tobolds since he's also in Europe. I read a lot of the Warhammer blogs -- waaagh, the greenskin, white tower of hoeth, /random -- and I especially love ours at The Book of Grudges.
And hardcore casual.

Tobolds, Ancient Gaming Noob, Keen and Graev and all the Warhammer ones I can find (esp. mine at http://bookofgrudges.wordpress.com), also VirginWorlds and Massively.
