That line cracks me up. It's funny, I play MMORPGs to get away from real live people.

That's not very nice. Didn't your momma teach you any manners?

I don't know if i think hiring a Baseball player to promote your games is a great idea, however. You could probably influence some newb kids to play the game I guess, but it won't have any sway on the top end gamer like Tigole and Furor did when they went to Blizzard.

I call it the "Prophet" effect, each hardcore gamer can easily recruit a friend, 2 or 3. Target the top of the chain and get a nice trickle down effect. It's like Dominos arranged in a huge triangle.

Ask Utnayan, he will fill you in.

How pathetic some of you are. What is wrong with someone endorsing a game, product or otherwise that they actually play or use? If Kurt Schilling had never played Everquest then I might sympathize with your criticism but the fact is he has and apparently still does.

I know he was playing EQ2 on Unrest server and I think he was a defiler. Raided quite a bit from what i hear when not playing baseball. The guild he was in was Drow. I forget what name he was playing under. He would post on the boards as Gehrig tho that wasnt his Character name.

He even wrote reviews for PC gamer on many of the EQ expansion packs.

This idea of publicism not only helps draw in people for Sony but even more people to the MMO world. Instead of seeing gaming communities such as WoW hit 3 million you may see it grow to 5 mill.

This is not only a good idea for Sony but a better idea for the gaming community aswell. It increases our community and makes us stronger as a whole. Not only that but it makes me able to say "50 FUCKING DKP MINUS!!" in RL without being ashamed of how much of a nerd I am.
