Lessons of MMORPG's

You never, ever, ever change jobs. If you want to, you probably need to die.

You can be the best in the world at your job.

But so can everyone else.

And you will all do it exactly the same way.


He seems sad about it, but I think it's fine because games aren't life, even games that pretend to be life.
