Age of Conan
The Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Q&A on ActionTrip talks with Gaute Godager about Funcom's upcoming barbaric MMORPG: "Focus on the community has been important for us since the beginning. We've always had a very close relationship with our Anarchy Online fan base, and we have several community representatives that work towards both these players and the people following the development of Age of Conan. The community is absolutely essential when it comes to MMOs, and we strongly believe in letting future and current players take part in the whole process of creating a game. We've been listening so much to the community of Age of Conan, that we've even changed elements in the game because of their feedback. One example is the renaming of classes, something we did based on feedback we received on the forums. We have a strong affinity to the people in our community, and we're doing everything we can in order to keep them with us and satisfy their needs."
Riot Games
The Riot Games Q&A on FiringSquad talks with Marc Merrill, probing, unsuccessfully, for details about this start-up's debut project: "While I unfortunately can’t get into details at the moment, I can tell you that the game will buck some trends in the industry for a variety of compelling reasons and that we think gamers will appreciate our approach and love the product."
