We've been covering the different happenings with the Passively Multiplayer Online Game for a while now, but for a change of pace, it seems that PMOG has covered us by giving us the honor of our own badge!

If you're a PMOG player and an active Massively.com reader, then don't miss your chance to get the "Crowd Control" badge for visiting Massively.com! Simply visit Massively for five days a week for two weeks with your PMOG toolbar enabled, and you'll have your new badge before you can spin around five times and say "I love achievements".
