Here is a recent interview with Jeff Grubb (RoE\'s lead programmer) - by MMhell, Thursday, August 26, 2004
My favorite quote is:
\"As long as I keep breathing on this earth, I will do everything I can to keep the game running for all that wish to enjoy it as much as I have.\" - Jeff Grubb
And I\'m thinking, yes it can compete with planeshift.
Also, another competitor,
GuildWars, is coming along nicely, and they have their second world preview event scheduled for October 29-31.
This is another MMO with no monthly fee, but you do have to buy the game. I\'m really excited about this one. It bares many similarities to Diablo II with none of the tedium of traditional MMO\'s. At the vary least, give the free preview a look near halloween.
In the meantime, can\'t wait for the
Rubies of Eventide page to get back up so I can check it out.
