Ah Comic Con, the single greatest and most horrifying nerd event of the year. Never have I seen such marvelous nerd spectacle existing in harmony with uncomfortably cramped conditions and high level marketing exhaustion.

Moving on. This week Casey is back in the studio with tons of MMO news from The Con. Did you know that Sam Raimi is directing the World of Warcraft movie? Or that Free Realms is about to reach 5 million users in its first 3 months? Or that The Matrix Online is shutting down? Yeah, I didn't know that game was still going either. So put down your Marvel Max trades and press play, you've earned it.

Also, don't forget to enter The MMO Report's Invent Your Own Super Hero/Villain Contest! You could win a copy of City of Heroes! Just head on over to G4tv.com/MMOContest and get creative!

    Matrix Online will be greatly missed. The only true mmoRPG ever created. In other words, an MMO that was actually story-driven and encouraged roleplaying. Unlike every other so-called MMORPG. Which is why people only call them MMO's anymore. Even WoW isn't really a true role-playing game. Someone should coin a new, more accurate term...like Massively Multiplayer Online Combat Grind and PvPfest.....MMOCGP?

    I tried to send my submission for the contest, but I'm not sure if it worked or not. I tried three times so if there are three of mine I do apologize for that since I didn't see anything that showed that my submission was sent.
