Hello!I apologise in advance for the length of this post; I type a lot. Feel free to skim!
What video game background do you have?
I started as a GM for an MMO, and have worked my way up the ladder into Community.
How you came into being employed with Trion?
This one is kind of a funny story. I was a Senior GM for another company, and several of my friends there left for the greener pastures that is Trion. They sung the company many praises, so I put in my application. I interviewed and got a call about a half hour after to work out some details. I had to put off a trip to South Korea (my birth country-- I'm only half though, & an army brat!
I was a Senior GM for a year and change for RIFT. I had sort of shifted out of my role as a pure GM and served as a bridge between Customer Service and developers. I was asked what it was I wanted to do when I 'grew up' -- basically, my path desired in the company. I wanted to be a developer, I thought, and so I shifted into QA for RIFT/misc.
A year after that, my current position opened up. I had experience in talking to players, I know the company well, and after a nerve-wracking interview (with Elrar and Overload!), I got the job.
How often do you play Defiance?
Not as often as I should! It feels like there's not enough hours in the day to do everything, especially with me being a shared resource between two games.
What are some of your gaming experiences like? (Defiance & other titles)
I've been playing games nearly my whole life. We had an old NES/SNES, and I've basically owned every major console since. I played a ton of Pokemon (every generation! Plus dorky spinoffs like Pokemon Puzzle League. Yes, the dork is strong with this one.) My first online game was Ragnarok Online, though I played some Starcraft, too. These days I enjoy RPGs, and have lately been playing the new Tomb Raider on PS3, Puzzle & Dragons on Android...and well, RIFT/Defiance on PC.
What's your gamer score?
I mostly play on PC, so, uhm, my Steam account is worth a few grand, does that count? (I have a problem. A shopping problem. But instead of shoes, I buy games. It's terrible!)
Do you play amongst us?
I do, absolutely. I play on a completely normal, no powers account, just like you or the other person!
Just basically anything you're willing to share?
Hi, my name is Morgana and I'm addicted to games, and am a chronic forum lurker. I have a cat named Bromine, who I just call Bro for short. There's a lot of "Y u mad, Bro?" that goes on in my house. I collect Hello Kitty and Silent Hill apparel in equal amounts (someone is getting me the exclusive alternate Pyramid Head statue from Comic Con!), and read a ton of webcomics (ask and ye shall receive recommendations!). I like reading but don't have the time to do as much of it as I want, and I have spammed your thread WAY TOO MUCH NOW so I am stopping now!
