    Well I can assure you it won"t be BSG. It won"t be western, it won"t be space, it will be cool though! Things are progressing at an incredible pace right now as well. All the things you don"t take into account when you sit around and say "How cool would it be....." are in play now. The...

    It"s not a tricky part if everyone in the company knows from day 1 that is a goal. Thinking outside the box is a must and doing so within the confines of designing a game is a skill needed to be part of this. I am not trying to make it sound easy, because I know it is not. But when you look...

    Innovation and differentiation are concerns only where lack of creative genius is involved. I am very very confident that is not the case here. Obviously at this stage from my end, it"s all talk, and while talking is a skill some would argue I do too well, I will do my best to not overextend...

    Come on man. 93.5% of the MMOG subscribers in the world play Fantasy MMO"s. Why would GMG, if it intends to change the landscape of the MMO world in a business sense, and product sense, not shoot for that market? Also, I can"t see convincing Todd McFarlane, and R.A. Salvatore, who"ve both...

    I can"t and won"t elaborate, but I can tell you that this is something (the remedy part of it) that"s been given incredible attention. The whole funding issue/problem is non-existant, so that"s not a concern, nor is there any concern of creative oversight or pressure by people(s) that aren"t...

    I was reading through the Vanguard NDA agreement and saw a comment near the end stating something to the effect that MMO players, more than any other genre, are sticklers for pumping up one game, and bashing everything else. I"ve always felt that the timesink MMO"s are makes people defend...

    People will flame, it goes back to the saying someone mentioned earlier. Trying to please everyone is a surefire way to please no one. I am not concerned about being flamed unless I/we do something that merits being flamed. GMG won"t be a company that works to do things that don"t get us...

    No problem. I won"t be revealing anything here for the first time anyway. As far as addressing epidemics, or perceived problems, I will do that as a player. Obviously how I feel as a player will at times translate into GMG, there are way too many people that are smarter than I when it comes to...

    Hey. I will check out and respond to some points you make above Ut. Pretty valid stuff (although I am one of the people that does believe WoW was released unfinished, though it didn"t affect my gameplay in the least). But I saw some earlier posts hacking on R.A. and wanted to throw a link up...

    Regardless of the examples and opinions the bottom line is it comes down to what you believe in as a company, and what you stand for. If you are a company founded on integrity, principle, respect and accountability you will be seen as such by anyone not possessing blind hatred for you. That"s...

    Being your opinion it"s not for me to judge it as right or wrong, but we can agree to disagree. In the marketplace today, you have companies building games on the backs of the people that broke the ground almost a decade ago. It"s stunning to me that there is not more "don"t make the same...

    I don"t know Brad well, beyond I think an initial meeting years ago. I can"t comment much on the VG beta as I haven"t been able to get too far into it due to the time needed elsewhere. What I do know is that Brad is one of the more instrumental and pivotal people the MMO space has ever seen...

    The only thing I can tell you with regards to your questions is that yes, we are way way WAY past the brainstorming sessions. There are still many to be had for sure, but it"s way past the "Dude, how cool would it be if we did..." stage. At the moment the finalists for the lead Studio...

    Let"s see, the Mariners? Love parts of their rotation, can"t go wrong with an ace who"s what? 15 years old? He"s going to be a stud. They have a stud closer as well. My main concern is that it seems as if alot of their makeup is kind of smashed together, if that makes sense. You can"t...

    They tried to make a deal. The major deals they were involved in were for some big time talent but the price tag was too steep for Theo to move on. The talent we had was good enough to get us 4.5 games up. We are where we are because we played like crap and we had an incredibly bad run of...

    Don"t believe everything you think you read And yes, RA is a pretty hardcore MMO player, as am I. But rest assured this is not a "3 rich guys thinking they can make a game". While we do think we each bring a pretty unique skillset to the table, none of us code, computer design, or 3D...

    Hey, Yes, I know these are forums that can bring out the best and worst in people. After playing 9 years in Philadelphia, 3 years in Boston, and interacting with fans on the internet, I"ve heard it all. There"s nothing here I haven"t heard or been called that I haven"t run across before. The...
