This is the no-show show.  #31 was recorded and just didn't get past the Quality Assurance department (also known as Brent).  Releasing crappy podcasts rates lower than releasing no podcast, therefore, no show for you!  Send Brent your letters of disappointment at brent@virginworlds.com.  Talk to you next week, if not sooner.

This is a special mid-week edition of the VirginWorlds MMO Podcast all about the Saga of Ryzom and the Ryzom Ring.

Special Eve Online Episode: The people behind Eve TV.

The objective is to shine an exceedingly bright light on the funniest, the saddest, the worst, and the most dramatic guild dramas of all time.

But we also think it is going to be darn funny. Send your submissions to brent@virginworlds.com or call our Skype line at 214-55-MMOG-0. The Skype ID is 'virginworldsdotcom'. We are looking forward to wallowing in the drama with you.
