2) How long have you followed the development of Atriarch?
Uuh...some 10 months, I guess...much too long, really :)
3) What game(s) did you play before finding out about Atriarch?
I walked around in Britannia for a year, and still miss it. Then I moved to Nor..Norra...doh, bah, what was that name again? Right now, I portal in and out of Dereth, nice, but won`t keep me much longer.
Gaming Aspects
1) What gaming design aspect are you glad is included in the game?
Diversity and freedom. And the fact that FUN and WORLD are written in capital letters.
2) What would you like included in/removed from the game?
Included: Errr...should I really do a shameless plug? The lester as a player submitted species! There, now I said it, ufff. The description of the lester can be found here, if you scroll down a bit: http://www.into.ch/kunden/lee_mayor/askrian/background.htm
Included: Shadows!! Hey, I`m serious...shadows are really needed!
Removed: Nononono...I am all FOR karmabirds!
Removed: Fluctuating currencies :P
3) How much/what innovation do you think Atriarch brings to the industry?
The light touch. Yup, the lack of corporate BS, of false marketing gadgets, of agressiveness; honesty in the way WF handles its information policy, humor. It always cracks me up when WF justifies a strange dev-decision with: For us, that`s fun. Hehe, what argument is left to counter that?
Atriarch Community
1) What factors build/destroy the Atriarch community?
There are seperate skills for building and destroying. As it is always harder to build than to destroy, I don`t believe the blablabla that it will be the other way round for Atriarch. Uuh...did I answer the question?
2) How can the schism between longtime and new followers of the game be breached?
The trick is to make the difference between longtime and shorttime small...what I really mean is that there shouldn`t be godlike characters.
3) Should visibility in the community curry special favour in the (pre-)game?
Curry? Indian curry? Thai curry? Hmmmm....I like curry. Maybe an invitation by Serafina to a curry, instead of going to the movies?
Discussions
1) Where can people find your threads (site/url)?
I wanted to say "On the Starwars Online devboard" but then I thought, maybe better not say that :P So: On the CoA and ATS dev boards. There`s an Ask`rian Corporate Yee Identity thread. Ask`rian is the faction I`m in.
2) What thread was your favourite to start or see thrive (site/url)?
Well, my best threads are those that get zero responses. Happens all the time...until I bump them.
3) What do you think should be discussed more amongst the communities?
Continue to tear down frontiers between fansites. Thinking back, we made a lot of progress in this respect, kudos to the community...and to the fansites!
Other aspects you think would interest folks?
Remember the pic with the scale of the Earth, the Moon, and Atriana? Remember also that someone said that it`s a small step for him on the moon, but a big step for humanity on earth?
Can you now see that a step on Atriana will be really really small for an Unarra, a big step for the man on the moon, and an absolutely gigantic step for an earthling? Yee!
