Well the guy in charge of this is either very talented or very insane... and he\'s gonna have to be both to pull it off.  And no I\'m not basing my hatred on what it is now, I\'m basing it on the fact it serves no purpose in a MMO game, PC\'s are the focus, not NPC\'s.  I\'d much rather see design work go into creating an inventive combat system or areas that would work with that concept of exploration as a tangible achievement, but I guess the fact there is no staff limit just means that there can be any number of people that can come in a work on a specific aspect so I really shouldn\'t mind.  And I\'m going totally off topic now, but that will be interesting to see what happens in the future if the game takes off.  Since judging from the interview it seems their is a hope that some dev people from established teams would help out on the game... but the question is would they come in with their own ideas or work on the communitie\'s ideas?  Oh well, just more musings and worries for another time yet to come...
Ninjas have feelings too.  Mostly they feel like dancing.

I\'m sure they are working on the combat system as well.

There\'ll be plenty to complain about and praise - in the mean time sugest stuff like ... Eliza - the shrink NPC to help the players who are more on edge (like Vengeance) then the rest.

Can we get comfy chairs that don\'t have sides so you have to stare at the ceiling? I always wanted one of those...

The NPC\'s are impossible to talk to. One of my cousin has played allot of online games(Anarchy-Online was the leader of the best clan on one server etc.). And he tried to talk to the NPC\'s for along time, and help me get the quest. But he couldn\'t get a word out of them.

Because they are eejits right now, this being pre-alpha. Just stick with it, I\'m sure it\'ll be great when it works out. By the way, what\'s the official word on the rumour that the next version will be a christmas release?

The unofficially-official word (It\'s unofficial because I\'m not a dev, however the Great Venge himself did say this originally) is that they\'re aiming to round up the next release by January at the latest.

Wowzers!

How\'d you get venge to say that?
