First Person Plural: The Conflicting Identities of Reality and a Virtual World
   by TitoPaul
"Pulling back into the now of MMORPGs, are these really RPGs? Is the role not really an extension of who you are? Is an avatar merely the digital representation of your physical being—how you see yourself or as close as you can in achieving that aim using the set of variables the MMORPG world allows?"

The Nostalgia Factor
   by Mike McCall
"What is the deal with people who can't seem to get past their favorite 'Old-School' RPG? Why has it become the cool and popular thing to bash on new games before they've even come out, and then once they do, either refuse to play them or play them grudgingly, going into them with an attitude that they won't like it anyway?"

This week TitoPaul presents us with another incredibly-well-written article, this time on the subject of MMORPGs and their impact very face role-playing itself.
