1) Who are you?
I am Edarila, also known as Dyant Tre`Ainar. I am a regular at the Stratics #atriarch chat, and you can often find me there.
2) How long have you followed the development of Atriarch?
In October (2000) I was searching web sites for a new MMORPG that is interesting and ground-breaking, and I found Atriarch
3) What game(s) did you play before finding out about Atriarch?
Well, I'm a sucker for RPGs...Old super nintendo games like the Final Fantasy series and Chrono Trigger are always fun :). I'm a huge fan of Gemstone and Dragonrealms, both made by Simutronics. Right now I'm playing Everquest, on the server Druzzil Ro. Of course I also play Baldur's Gate 2. I'm also big on building games, Simcity, Caesar 3, Age of Empires 2.... And finally, I like FPS like Rogue Spear. I think that covers it.
Gaming Aspects
1) What gaming design aspect are you glad is included in the game?
Atriarch is specifically toned to the roleplayer. In Atriarch, the roleplay will be the majority and not the minority. You can also be whoever you want, with no limitations.
2) What would you like included in/removed from the game?
I'm very strong for Roleplaying Rewards and Punishments.
3) How much/what innovation do you think Atriarch brings to the industry?
They've broken about every barrier there is :). Atriarch has already gone where other games are afraid to go, and that's simply amazing.
Atriarch Community
1) What factors build/destroy the Atriarch community?
Right now the community is small, and everyone knows each other. The community is like a small town. Everyone is friendly and helpful to each other.
2) How can the schism between longtime and new followers of the game be breached?
I really don't think there is much of a "schism". I'm still a relatively knew follower, and I know a lot about the game. It took me less than a week to get the hang of the gameplay and such.
3) Should visibility in the community curry special favour in the (pre-)game?
Yes! Those who are active in the community, and get the brain's of the developers going, should certainly get special favour.
2) What thread was your favourite to start or see thrive (site/url)?
I'm a big advocate for Roleplaying, I've started the "Who are you" Thread on the CoA Discussion board, and "Roleplaying and Rewards" on the Stratics general board.
3) What do you think should be discussed more amongst the communities?
Scrabble.
