SOE Austin’s John Blakely Talks DC Universe Online on The MMO Gamer is a Q&A about SOE's upcoming superhero MMORPG. The conversation is available as an audio recording, and has also been transcribed into text. Along the way, SOE Austin's John Blakely chooses to point out this isn't your parent's MMORPG: "This isn’t your mother or father’s MMO. Those things work for the fantasy setting, but felt to really deliver on that superhero power fantasy we had to deliver it in the game first in that moment-to-moment experience. This is an action game. Skill does count. There are no die rolls, you have to aim, and shoot, and hit. That’s really important to how we communicate that."
