Great read at the link below. I converted the article with Readability to make it easier to read. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the path DAoC will be on in the near future. It's a long article, but worth it.

So many people these days are unwilling to read anything of any length it seems. If its over 140 characters, its too long. Its sad.
That said I didn't read the article either, not because its too long but because the only games I play these days are MMOs like DAOC. I lost interest in RTS games years ago, and since I don't play on consoles at all (tried many, sold every one of them inside of a few months. Just the wrong platform for me).

If video killed the radio star then I guess radio came back from the dead and killed video.
