Just wanted to add my voice towards another episode of Bree mmo tours video.
You did a great job with UO and GW and I would be interested to see one for SWG.
Face Touching services available, reasonable rates – apply here :) lol
My prediction – Holly went to join Koster’s new studio.
Oooh you’re the first person I’ve seen say this one. I might have to change sides to your theory!
That little RMT deep dive was great.
Make the video for SWG, your videos for UO and Guilds War are so good :-)
And thank you for your answer, i just wanted to know what you think about all kind of autoplay, i saw so many comments in this website dismissing mobile MMOs because they are autoplay, but many MMOs have automated features, how much autoplay is too much?
I 2nd the factory tour.
Do you have a link for the videos?
GW1, UO, and ESO. But they are all getting on in age now. :D
