Atriarch Developer CommentsCommunity Update by Jaruh, Community Liaison (May 23, 2002)Greetings everyone! Since the team gets to bask in the warm glow of E3, I'm guarding the homefront! Springtime is a great inspiration for perspective on online communities. Most everything in the yard is in its full green, flowers are blooming and everyone is pleasant! Not getting any sleep these days means that I get to see the waking world in the warm sun rather than living only in the industrious night. Likewise, after the very positive First Look article at IGN, the latest developer journal and slew of developer comments on the various forums, the community is again starting to show its bloom! The interest in Atriarch is finding new gardens and weeds of discontent are few and easily plucked. :) Around the community, its great to see new factions emerging. I've really enjoyed reading the treatise of neutrality being offered by the Technocrats (of Daedra). Faction-creating brings out great discussions on historical strategic and philosophical premises. I invite everyone to go read and participate! I'd love to hear if other factions are being created, or existing factions have news to share with the community. When I first heard about Atriarch, Player Construction, the Torpor Storm and Spawning were the ideas (aside from breaking away from the fantasy genre) that captured my interest. I am enjoying reading and interacting with the latest questions about these features. You can find the discussions at ATVault, ATWatcher and ATStratics. I want to highlight a few newcomers to the extended Atriarch-coverage community. A big international welcome to MMORPG News over in Sweden. Also, a hearty congrats on the revamped sites to both MMORPG.net and MMORPG Italia. Also, look for us at UnknownPlayer.com, Player2Player.net and RPGDot.com. Look for upcoming interviews and other interaction on those sites soon! Please let me know if you come across other sites, english or not, that are carrying news of Atriarch. We have a few upcoming Community Events planned but the Atriarch Glossary Community Event is still actively receiving entries. Since it started, we've seen many great entries (and will add more to the official glossary soon) One entry that intrigued me came from Greg: "Tornin - A sentient that has not yet joined or has chosen not to join a faction Torninier - A sentient without faction because it violated the rules of its faction and was expelled." I love the idea of player ranks--the are yet another way the player can bring life to the world around them! But be wary Greg. If the terms were meant as slurs, those who aren't interested in factions may just have their own entries for those who choose such a life.:) I want to leave off with another entry, this one from Richard: "Good game: a game that's good. Example: what Atriarch will be." Woo Atriarch!
