Entropia's Club NEVERDIE sets new record for most expensive virtual item sale

Rise and Shiny recap: Planet Calypso

Normally -- and I have seen this over the last week as I told people about the game -- people bring up that ...

Behind the Curtain: Playing in the sandbox
I was feeling lost for a little while there. My mojo wasn't working, the Force was not strong with me, etc. I'm back in the swing of things now, however.

Behind the Curtain: Just when I thought I was out
It's funny the things that can suck you right back in, just when you thought you were out.

There was a brief interlude where the Argent Tournament piqued my curiosity, ...
