Tales From the Tavern: Volume II

As the MMO discussion picks up on the Nerfbat Forums, I’ll be posting these quick round-ups more frequently. Tales from the Tavern is a series I started back in April 2006 and never did again, but that is about to change… because here’s the second one! This series is where I highlight popular threads in the forums that you may be interested in reading or voting on. Before getting to the meat, the current forum numbers are: 156 members, 156 topics, 2040 posts. Read on for the 6 most popular threads.
