It sits there, night after night, just waiting for you to log in so that it can leap out of the darkness and affix itself to your psyche. It's that little nasty bug in your favorite MMO that's been around, well, just about forever. On days that it drives you particularly nuts, you theorize that the dev team came upon this bug one day, found it appealing, and built an entire online game around it to give it a nice home.

The problem is that there are these seemingly indestructible bugs that everyone knows about, everyone complains about, and yet never get fixed. Maybe they can't be stopped, can't be reasoned with, and they will never, ever stop until you are dead... tired from complaining about them.

So if you had to pick one bug in particular that's been in your game ever since the beginning, what would it be? Is it a bug that you encounter on a regular basis, or a show-stopping whopper that only makes its appearance on a special occasion?

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!

Hello, readers! It's been a few weeks since our massive Massively site overhaul landed, and our web gurus have been scurrying in the background fixing bugs and responding to your reports. Not all of the bugs have been vaporized just yet, but we'd like to update you on the status of some of the problems that most affect you.

RSS -- Our most-reported problem over the last few weeks revolved around our RSS feeds. Many users reported a doubling-up of posts as the site spewed out two copies of every post. Others reported an inability to subscribe to specific categories and bloggers, and still others were finding that every RSS feed was producing copies of the podcast (great news for podcast fans, I guess!). Our techs currently report that all of our RSS feeds should be functioning now, but they note that many RSS readers do not well tolerate the kind of switcheroo we had to do. If you're still having problems, unsubscribe again from all of your Massively feeds and try resubbing one more time. I can tell you that I am using Google Reader and stopped having problems a few days ago. If you need to resub to specific feeds, this will help: for the writers, visit the individual pages on our team portal; for columns and features, hop over to our columns list; and for specific games, click on your chosen game in the games list for a category with a feed button.

There's more behind the cut... follow along!
