It was a great way to end the easter holidays to return home and find an email waiting for me, announcing that my first paper on the "death in online gameworlds" project has been accepted as a full paper for the ACE 2006 conference. The conference venue is Hollywood, so that's not bad either ;). Im currently polishing the paper, people who want to read it can contact me for a digital copy after the conference.

I recently updated and redesigned the www.death-stories.org website, and a programming friend (thanks, Arne!) has updated the survey database so WoW (World of Warcraft) is now an integrated part of the survey. Noctis of the Warcry-network has advertised the site on several gamesites, so now I have 20+ submissions for the survey from all kind of worlds, with some great stories and thought-provoking comments from players on death. Please go there and tell your own story if you are a MMOG gamer - or tell your friends about it!
