I do have Steam! (After refusing to install it for an age, I forget why now). Same username. I hardly ever remember to log in though because it doesn't start up with my computer and I haven't been playing many of my games through it lately.
Oh, absolutely! I learnt that lesson a long time ago. If you believed everything on the eve-o forums right now you'd be expecting CCP to spontaneously catch fire whilst announcing the immediate closure of the game due to crippling subscription loss. :)
AO is right enough that I did consider re-downloading it, but, again, it's a bit of a lonely grindfest. I think that deep down I don't really want to play AO itself any more, instead I want to play something that takes all the best ideas from it and mixes it up in to something new and interesting. I suspect I want that from a lot of games though, not just AO.
*Nods* I understand that. Often happens with me in level based MMOs when I start "lagging behind" the pack in the middle levels because I'd rather do an interesting looking quest or go exploring than grind XP in a totally optimised way.

Looking forward to your Rift write-up. :)
