MMO10 The Tattered Notebook: Mask of the betrayer

You know, there's something decidedly ironic about playing a rat in an MMORPGRPG, meticulously in a themepark grinder like EverQuest II (and before anyone burns me at the stake, it's a good themepark grinder, I'm positively in love with it). The parallels are almost too perfect. Rats chase cheese and gamers chase digital carrots, running around a pre-defined maze with numerous boundaries, roadblocks, and invisible walls just like your standard lab rodent. Luckily EQII camouflages these minor irritations better than most games, even on fairly grinderific substence like the city betrayal quest series.

Yes, I've returned to playing my ratonga after a week of cheating on him with a shiny new shadowknight, and I've finally managed to move his furry little butt away from the abusive stylings of Freeport to a comfy little four-room rat hole off the side streets of South Qeynos.
