I am currently on a promotional cross-country car trip for The Lord of the Rings Online. I am actually on vacation on this trip (since I am not on Marketing), but I am doing quite a bit to help out. It’s been fun so far, follow our progress on TwoGuysAndaLOTROCar.com!

It’s no surprise, but, rather a confirmation as to the resurgence of development activities for The Sims Online. The CTO and CVO (Chief Visual Officer) of EA, Glenn Entis, noted that top visuals is not going to be as important as user-created contents. It’s very clear that the corporate direction of EA is enabling user-created contents in all of its titles. TSO is a natural place to revamp and experiment. I for one am glad, since I have been a fan of the franchise for so long. Everything the TSO-E team’s doing seem to be trying to re-connect the content creation community of The Sims, to TSO, which is a fantastic move.
