Yesterday on Massively: January 9, 2008

Lots of great discussion yesterday from collecting items to how to safely have your kids playing with you in an MMO, to subscription models in MMOs. If RL smacked you around and left you wanting your fuzzy slippers and some cocoa at the end of the day, don't worry. We kept the news roasty toasty for you to enjoy.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks the 38 Studios image to the right looks like Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "Don't Panic" logo and Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal had a very cute Love(craft) Child? Maybe i just need more coffee.
