Just interested in how people discovered PMOG. Was it through a friend, a magazine article, StumbleUpon?

Do we have any exciting PMOG discovery stories? Let's find out!

Plus what did you expect of PMOG before you joined, and how does that differ to how you see PMOG now?

I think it was an article in USA Today.

I was interested at first then was too busy to play, but started getting more involved when the Fantasy Baseball season ended. Now I'm hooked.

There was an article in USA today, if you still have an online link perhaps, please post it. It is pretty easy to get hooked...

It was late one night, not unlike this one when I installed firefox. I was haphazardly browsing through add-ons, marveling at them. After all I came from Internet Explorer. How I came upon PMOG, I dont know. Was it fate? Luck? Powers above us? Joe? Whoever it was, I found PMOG, And the rest, I belive, is history.

Through enigmagirl.

I can't remember what I expected, but this place is probably better than I thought it would be. Particularly the community.

I forgot to mention how I found PMOG. I read an article on techcrunch about PMOG, and I didn't go check it out straight away, but a week later and remembered the article and thought i'd check it out... and i've been here ever since.

I found it from download.com. PMOG was mentioned on the home page of download.com
I'm interested after reading the review by CNET editors.

About 2-3 years ago, there was an article in the UK edition of Edge, somehow I begged my way onto the alpha...

... It sucked!! =P The whole game was done using frames and the FF toolbar was just a twinkle in Gamelayers' eye =)

I stumbled onto a while before signing up, but just bookmarked it as something to look at later, and promptly forgot about it. When I was cleaning out my bookmarks I almost deleted it, then figured I would give it a try. I am glad I did!

I was really not expecting the community that pmog has! That is a big reason why I got hooked. On the down side, this has made my stumbleupon addiction much worse.

This pmogger, http://pmog.com/users/akraut, one day said "Omg I have to invite you to this new game that's in beta."

And now I am here.

I read the article in Wired magazine ( http://www.wired.com/gaming/gami... ). It talked about this wildly fantastic game that worked in the background of your web browser. I've been "playing" ever since...

I still hope that the game will live up to the description in the magazine someday :p

My boyfriend found it (kermitsonofwombat) and said I should give it a try. I did and am now addicted (thanks love) he doesn't play as often (or is he just more passive, who knows).

Gizmodo. They had an article about a passive steampunk rpg, which pulled all the triggers... even if it is not that steampunk anymore. ;-P

I had heard about it on a radio show about technology called spark on CBC (that's the Canadian Broadcast Corporation for those who don't line in Canada).It sounded cool so I joined.
