A little background from Ethic:
I started Kill Ten Rats in 2004 as an outlet for my thoughts and feelings regarding playing Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG), which is pretty much all I ever play. If anything, I had hoped I would be able to go back and look at my posts and decide to not reactivate that game once again. If you play MMOs, you probably know what I mean.
The place sort of evolved into a running commentary about playing MMOs and a few additional people signed up to rant and rave alongside me. I never intended for this to become a destination for people to visit and read. Honestly, it was started just for myself to rant in a healthier way and with no intentions of having a single reader. But whatever my intentions were, here we are today. In the grand scale of things, I look at MMOs and instead of seeing just the game before me, I see what the game *could have been*. MMOs really could be so much more than they currently are and I only hope we can open your eyes, if even just a little bit, to the real possibilities of this genre. Yet even with all their flaws, I’d still rather be playing an MMO.
I’ve been lucky enough to find some very talented people to join me on this quest. These people have really made the site what it is today. I’ll put links to their intro posts here for your information:
BitterCupOJoe, Cyndre, Dave, James, Julian, Nicodemus, Oz and last but certainly not least Zubon.
But that’s not all. We have had a few others grace our pages here over time and I can’t forget them. Check out their intro posts by clicking on their names here: DC, Dragon, Fat, lufia22, ringthree, Spot and Zxyrox. They are welcome to come back at any time.
Feel free to look around and join in on the discussions.
