Avery, you have WAY too much inside info man. Seriously, you met them and they just blirted out the fact they order sushi and pizza? Come on now.

Anyone else find this to be strange?

 


 

hey there Deviate? or Chill_Factor now? I get confused as one was 33yrs old the other 37.

Maybe you find it strange because you didn't follow the game before release?

I went to their HQ with many other people.  I asked quite a few questions, I also have 2hrs worth of camcorder footage there. They have a great team of people and some real dedicated guys /  talented guys. Don't hate on the dev's / programmers, it's some of the lead's in direction that put it all together.

If you look on tentonhammer you will see some interviews there which I set up too and the names of the devs we chatted with.

As to who I am, you might be surprised. But enough about me, I wouldn't want to deviate from the topic. Hey, I said it was strange, thats all.

As for the developers, I don't blame them in the least, I blame the slave master GG they work for. If I were them I'd quit and move on to greener pastures.

You may think I have it out for you bro, but in all honesty, I don't, you seem like a decent guy. I just want you to tell the truth and quit spinning things in the favor of Funcom. I know your posts here are your opinions and do not represent MMORPG, but (and a big but imo), the title under your name may sway people into believing you.

I will be civil to people that lie to me, but I won't stand by when they lie to other people.

Now the guy that knows about Dolly's Pizza....hmmm

Well, over-time food (from Spice, Room Service, Dolly's Pizza) was one of the few (albeit mediocre) joys there, so if anyone was trying to emphasize the positive, that would probably be mentioned.

Wait, you worked for FC?

 

 

*grits her teeth and nods quietly* Yes, I did.

He who controls the spice, controls the universe! *can't resist to leety chair-dance to an old-school techno song inspired by that quote* The spice must flow!

Oh, man. This thread even has comic relief. What time does the floor show start?

Goozex.com Try it, you'll like it.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

Yeah, that "Ex-Dev's" comment kind of surprised me. Not very... accurate, shall we say.
