Scott Hartsman interview at MMORPG.com

An interview with Scott Hartsman.

Not much real meat there, IMHO, but thought people might be interested.

This part is exactly why I stay away from mmopig.com and it's staff. Too much pandering for money/attention from gamemakers:

Bill Murphy / Bill Murphy is the Managing Editor of MMORPG.com, RTSGuru.com, and lover of all things gaming. He’s made fun of Scott’s baldness one too many times, and now fears for his life. He's been playing and writing about MMOs and geekery since 2002, and you can harass him and his views on Twitter @thebillmurphy.

Like you said, not much meat there but I never expect any real questions to try and get some from those guys.

No real news in the interview but I'm always interested to hear Scott's views on the future of gaming and especially MMOs.
BTW, did he announce Trion is shutting down Austin? I saw him say they are moving people to Redwood from 'closed locations'.

Defiance HAS improved a lot since launch. Were you not there for the launch? It wasn't the best MMO launch. lol No where near the best.

I kind of have to agree with this. After coming back from a few months reprieve, the game does seem to be improved.

But that was short lived as I tried to open my menu during a Monolith Arkfall.

Hey... according to Oat's most recent twitter post "this interview with Scott Hartsman about future of Trion is pretty great".

Ignore hardy. he's a Trion fanboy. He posts exactly the same way over in Rift.

Point is, what game does anyone know that doesn't make ANY progress since they launch? It's a silly defense argument when the question isn't "Did they improve?" Duh.

The question is "Did they improve enough to where the game should have been improved by now?" and based on how things have gone, I don't think anyone could honestly say "Yes" to that.

Except for hardy and Indra.
