Wait... what the hell kind of interview was this? Hi, you mind if we fluff up your really terrible game and make it seem like it's okay? You didn't ask why the UI was an exact copy of the WoW UI, including the achievement pane which Alganon doesn't even use? Or why the Families System is nothing more than an extra chat channel? Or what his actual reasoning was for offering pre-orders for the game under the NDA only to take that money and push the beta back a month? Or even how a company with limited resources plans to push out an expansion once every 6 months?

"It rewards players not just for playing, but subscribing as well. A casual gamer who has been playing Alganon for a year (and managing their studies) will have access to things a hardcore gamer who reaches max level in just a month simply cannot."

Except for the fact that the system is very anti-casual to begin with. You have to rigidly log into your character, and only 1 character can study at a time, a click on the study system, then you can either play the character or log out and wait x hours/days/weeks. And since the last patch, low rank skills now take a day+ of real time just to learn, and the advantage is no minimal.

Also, you never asked why they thought that they would be able to push the game out in December without ever testing all the talents/skills in the game. Only one class has all their "final talents" and no one knows if they all work yet. Also, what happens when the expansion comes out, you have been playing one class/race and now you want to start a new one, you have to abandon that entire characters effort at the study system and start new?

Having to wait 6 months+ for the first expansion pretty much means you are paying for the Beta version of the product, because the game will have 2 races out of 8, and 4 of the 7 classes. No instances! They say they will open after "The Dawning" but read what they said about their in game event. Something like the person who completes it will help the Devs come up with the items and mobs in the instances. Say what? How will the instances be available if you don't have the mobs and the items in there?

So many questions you should have asked, but instead you took the time to make the interview a fluff piece.
