Dungeons & Dragons Online official site has posted an article by Nik Davidson, the administrator. Here's a snip:

This one goes out to all the DMs out there.

It’s the night before the game. The fridge is stocked. The table is cleared. You’ve been planning out tomorrow’s story for a couple hours now. You look over your notes, and you think to yourself, "It’s good. I’m good. We are both really, really good." You fall asleep on a pile of encounter tables, NPC descriptions, dialogue notes, and maps on graph paper, and around noon the next day, you are greeted by a bunch of people who in no way think that’s sad or pathetic.

You get started. The party banters, gets settled in. You recap, and drop some leading hints – the thing they’re looking for, as they may recall, is likely to be located beneath the ruined tower to the west.

Read the rest (http://www.ddo.com/index.php?page_id=66&pagebuilder[module]=article&pagebuilder[display_item]=19) at Dungeons & Dragons Online.

Lol, I really hope I haven't ruined to many of the plans of the dms I played with.
