    Congratulations -- by coming to Massively, you're already ahead of the average MMO player curve. No, really. Most people stop thinking about Guild Wars as soon as the game client is closed. But you're busy browsing a site for more news and opinions about the game. (Substitute another game as appropriate, naturally.) You're clearly invested in MMOs as a whole. The question then becomes just how invested you really are, because there's a lot of difference between browsing Massively idly during your lunch break and religiously scouring every site you can for the best possible character builds. Maybe you just like reading opinions about a game, maybe you spend a little time every day reading about your games of choice, or maybe you try to make sure to assemble a laundry list of must-read blogs and sites about your favorite MMO. So which is it? Whether you play Ultima Online or Star Trek Online, how much time do you spend reading about your game outside of the actual game? Do you ever find yourself enjoying reading about the game more than the game itself? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
