There's a saying that goes, "Teach a man to level up, and you'll satisfy him for a lifetime. But teach a man to grind, and you'll satisfy him for several hundred hours bereft of showering."
We don't really know where these wise words came from, but they obviously reached the ears of the very first MMORPG developers. Today, if you're not grinding away at something, then you're obviously doing something incorrectly. And it seems like the guys 'n gals over at 1UP.com would agree. Their newest blog to focus on one aspect in videogaming is, in fact, all about the many facets of RPGs -- including the massively multiplayer online variety.
While there isn't anything about our beloved persistent online worlds up just yet, we're sure there'll be tasty words to chew upon soon enough. We'll be keeping a lookout for you, just in case your busy day can't handle the kind of obsessive news and information tendencies we here at Massively indulge in at a constant tick.

Nice. "Hey Paul! Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now!"
Seriously though, cool to see a new site focused on MMOs and RPGs in general. Good luck to The Grind.

So many people give so much verbal fellatio to the DikuMUD code base, which is all well and good, but there are other classic code bases that were just as important in the development of the modern MMORPG, such as ROM MUD.
