Community Relations Coordinator <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ashlanne-barefoot">Ashlanne Barefoot</a> recently introduced the "<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/station/posts/list.m?topic_id=11500015425">SOE Gamer of the Month</a>" as a new feature on the forums, asking players to PM her for consideration. The feature is now "up and running", so it's time to send in your information.<br />
<br />
The post includes a list of questions designed to get an overall feel for the player, their playing style, and how much they use the various features <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/sony-online-entertainment">Sony Online Entertainment</a> has to offer, such as the podcast. The questions run the gamut from "Where do you live?" to "What do you like best about your favorite SOE game?", with stops in between to cover general gaming habits, other hobbies, and other real-life things. The questionnaire reads like a cross between a marketing survey and a biography, and should provide an interesting range of responses. We look forward to seeing the first gamer of the month!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/06/sony-online-entertainment-introduces-gamer-of-the-month/">Sony Online Entertainment introduces "Gamer of the Month"</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:00:00 EST.

And why wouldn't you <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/27/highlights-from-the-soe-fan-faire-2009-community-address/">with all the announcements</a>? SOE announced expansions for both <em><a href="http://everquest.station.sony.com/">EverQuest</a></em> and <em><a href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/">EverQuest 2</a></em>, plus lots of incoming goodies for <em><a href="http://www.freerealms.com">Free Realms</a></em> and even <em><a href="http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/players/index.vm">Star Wars Galaxies</a></em> -- although <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/01/massively-speaking-episode-59/">your mileage may vary</a> when it comes to zombies in your Star Wars.<br /><br />Anyhow, the <a href="http://www.station.sony.com/podcasts.vm#66">podcast was recorded live at the event</a>, which means you'll be hearing plenty of immediate reactions and thoughts on news and then-current happenings. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any information regarding <em><a href="http://theagency.station.sony.com/">The Agency</a></em> or <em><a href="http://dcuo.station.sony.com/">DC Universe Online</a></em>, much like at the actual event itself. Nevertheless, anyone interested in the previously mentioned games or live podcasts with jump-on guests will find something to enjoy here.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/06/fan-faire-extras-on-the-latest-official-soe-podcast/">Fan Faire extras on the latest official SOE podcast</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:00:00 EST.

Did you head to Las Vegas last August for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/soe/">SOE</a>'s annual <a href="http://events.station.sony.com/fanfaire/">Fan Faire</a> event? You did? Well this is your lucky day! SOE CM Ashlanne has <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/station/posts/list.m?topic_id=11500013427">announced</a> via the offical forums that all attendees of last year's event have access to the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/free-realms/"><em>Free Realms</em></a> beta as of, well, now!<br /><br />So what exactly are you waiting for, you lucky people? Your Station ID should have been automatically upgraded so all you need to do is visit the <a href="http://www.freerealms.com">official site</a> and click on existing user. If however you find yourself having problems, Ashlanne asks that you post in the thread on the official forums so they can check the listings and get the account upgraded 'in a jiff'.<br /><br /><span class="genmed"></span><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/16/fan-faire-attendees-get-free-realms-beta-access-right-now/">Fan Faire attendees get Free Realms beta access right now</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:00:00 EST.
