About The Archive:

MMORchive is a project aimed at gathering together historical information on MMOs; mainly text information in the vein of forum posts, IRC chatlogs, and general commentary on the genre by players and developers, but also screenshots of unique events and any other media related to the topic of MMO history.

Thanks go out to Bouibouille of mmo-champion.net for advice on running an MMO-related site and JamesVZ for providing me with a significant portion of the initial content.

About The Archivist:

Josh Landau has been playing MMOs since 2001, when someone told him he could shoot things with lasers in the company of random other people in this thing called Anarchy Online.  After a while he figured out - Hey, there’s math in this.  And started posting about it.

Many shots from a Manex Catastrophe December later, and even more time spent in World of Warcraft (most recently playing as Kalman on Mal’ganis), he still complains loudly about MMO design.  Since his admission to law school, he has only fond memories of that thing called spare time, but still finds the industry fascinating.
