Introduction	My name is Joel Tan. Many of you probably know me from MMOtaku, a blog I handled for b5media's EveryJoe for almost three years, from the last quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2010. Recently, I've decided to write for my own blog, The MMOsh Pit, that focuses on very much the same theme of my former network-based blog—massively multiplayer online games. Why call it The MMOsh Pit? Because MMOGs and the virtual worlds that they spawn are like concerts where some people are at the fringes, content in listening to the music from afar and apart from everyone else, while others are drawn to the center, in the mosh pit where the real action happens.
