Massively Week in Review: March 18-24, 2008

It was a mixed bag in the MMO world this last week. We saw drama break out as the admin of EQ2Flames leveled a series of accusations at SOE, and then we heard even more rumblings about it later in the week. Elsewhere on Planet Earth, we picked up an awesome video tour of Blizzard's swank new digs. With Holidays and bad guys and even a player council in EVE, there's a little something for everyone this time.
