Chances are
that, if you're reading this, you're at least someone familiar with the concept of MMO's. Not everyone, however, is as
on-top of things as us geeks are, so BusinessWeek Online has graciously offered a primer to the senior lunch crowd (or
anyone else who's been under a rock for the last 5 years) in the form of An Old Fogey's Guide to
the Online Universe.The article is an informative primer for anyone interested but unversed in the glorious new world of online gaming. Like I said, for you readers, it won't do much to enlighten you, but if you've been hankerin' to buy your aunt Millie her own copy of WoW, be sure to clip this & send it along with her. After all, you don't want anyone calling your Aunt Millie a 'dumazz newb', do ya? Do ya?

That would be a great article if it wasn't secretly an ad for Second Life. I would love something like that to send to my non-WoW playing friends but it's just not general enough.

Hey, a real OFG could be really usefull. Hints on how to fit in with the younger crowd without revealing your RL age. As a person with a Golden Buckeye card, I try to sound younger because of a fear of being excluded from grps/guilds (age discrimination?).
Is this fear unfounded? What are the WoW demographics? How about an over 50 only server?
Sry that this is off topic.
