What would you ask the PS project leaders?
« on: May 14, 2008, 09:25:25 pm »
If you where to interview the project leaders of the PS project - for example if you were a journalist - what woud you ask?

Im developing an interview of what you - the player and the reader would like to know the answers too.

However you must bear in mind that these questions could end up in a press release pack - so if its bollocks ill delete it, keep your questions relevant to the PS project and no flaming.

Answers on a postcard please - ok maybe not, but put them here instead.

People ask us questions all the time.  Normally "When is the server coming up?"  :).   If asking as a journalist it would depend on who the target audience would be.  Somebody from a MMORPG magazine would ask different questions then somebody from a technical one.

Some things I'd be interested in:

~  "When looking back, what were the best/worst decisions  you made in development?"
~  "Where do you see PlaneShift in 5 years from now?"
~  "What are the next couple of short-term goals you would like to reach?"

Usually different devs will have different answers, especially to Q's like those peeq. So maybe come up with a list between you all and a few of us can give answers.

Dear Talad...

Do you still spend enough time living your dream? Are you still enough part of the world you are making?


Don't develop what you don't use. ;)

P.S.: Not at all meant sarcastic or offending in any way. Rather concerned that this project may get taken too seriously.

You say press release pack. That would seem to indicate some official connection to PS and that this is an inside request as opposed to someone unfamiliar with the game. What is your status here and why should we help?

I do not mean to be offensive but if it is the former, declaring it might get you more cooperation from the community than if it were the latter and you are too lazy to do your own research. Most team members have an indication of their status beside all their posts. I do not see yours so that is why I ask.

Ahh, I see from your other thread WTB status, perhaps this could be added to your profile by the Administrator or board moderator.

Here is a question :)

What is your feeling about character continuity, do you like to start with a fresh character database often or do you try to retain players achievements as much as possible.

I agree with Prolix.

The questions are:

What is more important the amount of players, the size of the game, if the players role play or not?
Isn't it more important the players stay rather then having a large turn over of players all the time?
What happened to the 'family' we used to be?

(You asked so therefore I replied to your inquiry)

I would ask them not to sell out to 'The Man', in the future and keep PS free for all to enjoy. Any Chance?

PS will not become Pay to Play when reaching version 1.0 ;)
Nor ads, trials, etc.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

Hey! Don't forget the video game store! I am still trying to figure out how to play Guitar Hero in PlaneShift with my character. :P
   I've been outside, it's overrated and the graphics suck!
