New World Notes: Playing Empires: Second Life Bloggers on the HUD-Based MMO Craze. Hamlet mentions my blog post talking about my getting on board with TE a while back. I'll have you know that Cylindrian is the one who conned me into wearing the trial HUD in the first place :)

However, I think that thesixtyone is the new TE for me. Like TE it can be played in the background, the grind isn't as tiresome over time, and the rewards are more fulfilling imho :)
