That said, I have questions about the what lies ahead, involving Landmark, The Elder Scrolls Online, EverQuest Next and more.

Review in Progress #3 - Frame Shift

It's a big galaxy. 400 billion stars big. There's room enough to make your fortunes, room enough to find your fights and room enough to see things most people won't pass by if you really work at it. In a galaxy like that, what you make of it is up to you. You... and others. It might be the little action of a few players bringing in the goods or it might be the larger actions of empires.
