Second Post!.....oh wait.

I guess if i don't get an award for first post i definitely wont get one for second, oh well, you win the imaginary award on this one Markee, next time though, i will have vengeance!

My name is Garrett and I have been an employee of Shattered Crystal for some time now, almost two years. I am primarily the affiliate manager/marketing guy but, when needed, I am the one who researches and creates new items within our store.

With that said, its safe to say that i have a lot of exposure to up-and-coming mmo's, whether i would like to or not. Some of your might say "did he just complain about having to surf the internet and read about games?!?!". Well trust me, its not as enjoyable as it sounds. Case in point: StarDoll, not exactly my first choice for a research project but alas, it must be done, because for every person like me who cringes at the idea of a paperdoll-dressup-mmo, there must be those who can't hold in their excitement when presented with a cornucopia of digital celebs with matching outfits and accessories.....

I'm getting sidetracked, so basically I will be posting here as new items are added to Shattered Crystal. sharing various information i have gathered through research and opinions i have formed via that research.

First post!

I always think it's crazy when we create new forums at one of our sites and almost right away we get someone making a post of "First Post!". It's like they win an award for being the first. I find it to be very humorous.

So in the spirit of the first post we won't win any awards. But we can shoot for good quality information here. This blog allows us to talk about some of the new products we are adding to www.ShatteredCrystal.com. We currently have game codes and cards for over 52 games. It's really incredible considering that up until a few years ago we focused on just one game. Ultima Online.

Some of you may know me from UO. I lead a group of brokers in the game providing safe buying, selling and trading services for players of the game. Scamming was rampant back then like it is today and we worked hard as a group to do transactions without anyone being taken. I ended up founding several companies in the video game entertainment industry. Some of them flopped and several of them are up and running right now with good success.

This blog will be very informal. We just want to announce new products and have a central location where people can give us feedback on the things we are doing here. My staff or I will make updates from time to time.

If you are in the industry and would like to hook up with me feel free to link up to me at LinkedIn or contact me directly at marcus@trustwho.com.
