While almost all of our news stories and columns are game-specific, the conversation that follows in the comments often expands beyond the game in question. Discussion turns to mechanics, development styles, and industry trends. Even if the game in the original story isn't your thing, you may find some interesting conversation, so follow along after the jump to see what some of our readers had to say last week.<p><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/10/23/global-chat-october-16-22-2011/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Global Chat: October 16-22, 2011</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/10/23/global-chat-october-16-22-2011/">Global Chat: October 16-22, 2011</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 23 Oct 2011 10:00:00 EST.

The craziness of Gamescom and PAX is over, but that doesn't mean there's nothing left to look forward to in MMO-land. With the anticipation over upcoming game launches and free-to-play conversions, our readers have lots to say about the near future -- particularly <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/fallen-earth/">Fallen Earth's</a> </em>near future.

<em>Welcome to this week's </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/global-chat/"><em>Global Chat</em></a><em>! We love hearing what you have to say at Massively, and we love it even more when we can share the best comments with all of our readers. Massively staffers will be contributing some of their favorite comments every week, so keep an eye out every Sunday for more Global Chat!</em><br />
<br />
This week's comments have proved to be all about decisions. Where do you want to go in a game that you purchased when you often have a broad variety of choices available? What game should you support in the hopes that it will succeed? Should you hope for another game to die so that your favorite one might live? Will you go down the creepy forest path or run back to the car?<br />
<br />
OK, maybe that last one wasn't in the comments this week, but the rest of them were. Jump on past the break to see some of the choice comments from the past week's articles.<p><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/08/28/global-chat-choosing-your-path-edition/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Global Chat: Choosing your path edition</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/08/28/global-chat-choosing-your-path-edition/">Global Chat: Choosing your path edition</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 28 Aug 2011 10:00:00 EST.
