I've noticed a curious trend among the Massively staff when it comes to the
Why I Play column: The writers here tend to choose games you wouldn't necessarily expect them to choose. MJ Guthrie, who is the wind beneath our

why she plays the Secret World. Patrick Mackey, our former
Champions Online caped crusader and lately our
League of Legends legend, wrote about
why he plays Global Agenda. Shawn Schuster, our boss-in-chief, wrote about the
little MMO that could, WURM Online. Jef Reahard, our stalwart sandbox supporter,

Star Wars The Old Republic, but my point is that the Why I Play column seems to be a place for us to write about the games we play when we're not "gaming."
