Cryptic Studios announces its Game Developers Conference schedule

It looks like Cryptic Studios is set to take GDC by storm this year as they just announced their plans to send five of their people to speak at the San Francisco based event being held from Feb. 18th through to the 22nd. The team members from Cryptic are Chief Creative Officer Jack Emmert (formally Jack "Statesman" Emmert), Character Artist Matt Highison, Director of Game Programming Shannon Posniewski, Audio Director Michael Henry and President of Cryptic Studios Michael Lewis.

We are very interested in hearing what these Cryptic members have to say on the subject of massively games. Hopefully we'll finally get some answers on what to expect in their future if not some hints at the very least.
Here's the schedule breakdown of who will be a part of what panels, for anyone interested in what days to keep there eyes open for news popping up afterwards.

• Monday, Feb 18th - Character Artist Matt Highison, IGDA Educational Summit
  
• Wednesday, Feb. 20th - Director of Game Programming Shannon Posniewski, SQL Considered Harmful: Databases for MMORPGs
• Thursday, Feb. 21st - Chief Creative Officer Jack Emmert, Proper Use of Episodic Content in an MMO, Future of MMOs
• Thursday, Feb. 21st - President of Cryptic Studios Michael Lewis, Lessons from the Front Lines: Startup CEOs Share Their Insider Stories
• Thursday, Feb. 21st - Audio Director Michael Henry, Audio for MMOs

We've really got to admit, the Future of MMOs panel is incredibly exciting when you take into consideration who's involved in it. You're talking Mark Jacobs from EA Mythic, Rob Pardo from Blizzard, Jack Emmert of Cryptic and Ray Muzyka from BioWare. It'll be amazing to watch those guys answer the same questions and bounce off of each other a little bit.
