This week we talk about Dante’s Divine Comedy, drop-bears, the middle finger, and snorting lines of Aurin dander! Oh, and we also talk about Wildstar, ArcheAge, and Marvel Heroes, but that was the boring stuff. Welcome to Casual Core Radio, where we talk about MMOs and where we stay up late to watch games launch (or more usually, crash over and over)!

What level of control would you give addon content creators?
JOE: Expose interface for complete modification. Do not allow the casting of any combat abilities, except by click-per-event macros (with GCD limitation). Allow for converting to mouseover targeting
DREW: Hard-core PvP game, so obviously they would be able to edit the game client. It will be a code-to-win game…
