| Giving The Gift of Gaming. | An Interview with Tiggs
By Shayde
“Support our Troops”. You see that simple sentence everywhere you turn these days. Reminders of the brave men and women who are overseas putting their lives on the line everyday. It doesn’t matter if you’re for the war or against it... you still admire the selfless act of our country’s bravest. You ask yourself, “What can I do to help?”
Look around your computer desk right now. If you’re anything like me there’s at least one game you don’t play anymore. There’s a couple console games you just got tired of, there’s a box in your closet filled with games you loved but just don’t play anymore.
That’s where Gifts From Gamers www.giftsfromgamers.org comes in. Their mission is simple. Get those games to those who need them. The person spearheading the effort is someone who many SWG players came to know well… Diane “Tiggs” Migliaccio. She now works for Turbine’s Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online… but her heart is really into her work at GFG. Why? Because it’s personal.

| Still Blazing Trails | An Interview with Raph Koster
by Shayde
There are few MMO developers who have made an impact like Raphael Koster.
Back when MMO’s were text based MUDs, he helped bring LegendMUD to the online world. His work at Legend got him noticed by Origin Systems where he was hired as a developer and helped create one of the first real MMO ever, Ultima Online.
In 2000, Raph moved to Verant and was lead designer on a game many of us came to know and love, Star Wars Galaxies. His vision of an online game that was all about freedom and possibilities was something that few other games have come near realizing.
