In a fascinating interview she gives her take on current and future development of Planeshift, and descibes her own experience as a player and as a member of a popular guild. We always knew that GPax had a big brain, but some of her insights might just blow your socks off. Check this out:
\"Attitude is important, as well as temperment. Whilst lost in the role-playing aspect of a game, it is good to be able to cast off the equirements of a regulated society like the one most of us live in and act in a manner that is either not like us or not becoming. Many people like to have characters that are nearly a diametric opposite of what they are like in real life! Not many people I know play role-playing games with a character that is like themselves in real-life - that would be too boring and ultimately uninteresting. So I see the fact that many people choose neutral of evil characters or dispositions in their characters as a good thing! Role-playing allows us to be something we are normally not - a pacifist, for example, can take pleasure in having a evil, bloodlusting character, knowing that the character is not real. It provides a kind of cartharsis, allowing behaviour that is not socially acceptable in real life to be played out in an arena that ultimately hurt no-one.\"Read the full interview with GParagonX at
