Whether the move will expand to cover content from Massively and the other specialized verticals I don't know.srmalloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331203633105846275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-69297661304923750602015-02-03T07:00:09.521+00:002015-02-03T07:00:09.521+00:00Agreed about WI vs. Massively.

Among the Massively commenters, many liked only a couple of the games that were being talked about and loudly trashed everything else, which often made for an overwhelmingly negative atmosphere.<br /><br />My favourite thing about WI were the columns like Drama Mamas and Officers' Quarters. I kept coming back to read those long after I had quit WoW, and when they were cut... yeah.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-44003314828499316702015-02-03T01:24:41.024+00:002015-02-03T01:24:41.024+00:00I will miss wow insider more than massively as I f...I will miss wow insider more than massively as I feel like WI had a better signal to noise ratio, as it was bound to have, being based around one game/company. I do wish the best for certain massively contributers (good luck Larry!) and I would say the same about WI but it seems like most of the best parts of WI died a few years ago. No more class columns, no more rookie articles, all these things that basically make me wish I had started playing wow during bc or wotlk instead of the tail end of cata. Still, I received a lot of nerd enjoyment reading both sites and here's hoping AOL lets the servers stay up for some time to come...(cross fingers).mooftaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-68546512975204789362015-01-31T21:56:49.984+00:002015-01-31T21:56:49.984+00:00Honestly, I was surprised by how much it hit me.

I'm starting to feel all emo now.<br /><br />You voiced pretty much what Massively was to me: something I did not even read all that often because they rarely wrote about SWTOR (or LotRO for that matter). I also recognize the "I played this game for a week and it sucks" sentiment that indeed did contaminate the website for me, even though they were just comments. Maybe all of this is also because I arrived much later in the blogging scene than you. But at the same time it was a website I did check from time to time. It kinda feels like a big brother is gone.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.com
