Dude, Kayda gave a shoutout to the Furious Angels RIGHT before the Chadwick interview! Haha! Awesome!

[Anonymous]

Yup, that was me

How fucking awesome was that?!

Synopsis:

Chadwick's computer sucks.
Anome has a troubled background that gives reason for him being screwy (his childhood in the Matrix).
Staying quiet on JokerOf people.
Laser eyes come from the vials (duh)
Walrus is in the dunking tank.
Logs in the Matrix for the major live events, but checks with Rarebit for updates.
LESIG is best tool, and he would like to find ways to use them further.
Talked about the Merv/Soldier confrontation LE that happened a few months ago as really good event(we were there!).
Says we're down to the "hardcore" MxO players, so community is good.
New Sentinel due in a few days (story of it).
Joked that story doesn't come back until December. Heh.
Wishes game "culture" could be web archived.
Suggested in the beginning that there be a documentary of everything that happens in MxO, but idea was tossed aside.
There is a character that we have been misled about - his actions and attitudes.
"Wachowskis do not kill their characters lightly. Never say never, but they didn't kill Morpheus to bring him back right away."
Keeping his RSI handle a secret. He's mid-level. Doesn't know what "Punt" is...lol...so they showed him.
He asked why the hell people run around naked in the game.
Talked about Walrus getting pwned in Vector and people sitting on his face.
Chadwick asked what the cool hangouts were besides Mara C.
Lol...Mastatec asked "if you were to create a Black Market, which org would you align it with". He said Merv. Now BM might go Merv...haha.
Chadwick wants screenshots of water venues and decorative buildings of downtown and international (want to tease newbies with it and something about merit badges by finding them)...as well as pictures of all the monuments.

Where were you for the actual interview Kayda?

Well, I gave the shoutout request to The X guys just before I went in to tour the studios at SOE. So I was probably in the Server Room, or the Development "pit" as they call it.

By the way, MxO has roughly 33,000 subscribers.

I actually got to see Paul, though. He's a cool guy. And in all honesty, Walrus is the most awesome guy you could ever meet. He sat and talked to me for like 15 minutes and he seemed more like a player than a developer. He talked about it sucked immensely that we were the forum guinea pigs for the new forums.

However, I digress. The fact that Walrus seems like a player of the game, rather than a developer, is probably why MxO has been kept alive and still chugging along all this time. In all honesty, I've never met a cooler guy.

Oh, and when I came out, though, Paul was still sitting at The X table, but he was sitting with Walrus and Raijinn, too. So, by the time I came out, they were probably doing the group interview they were talking about.

How did you figure out we have 33k subscribers? They normally don't release numbers like that openly..

[Subb]

Ahem WoW brags that they have "6 million players" so....

[Anamodiel]

SOE is very uptight about not releasing numbers, so I'm curious as to how Kayda found out. XD

[Subb]

Kayda's a spy! o.O

[Anonymous]

ZOMG I'm a dev! I'm actually Walrus! XD

No, actually, they had it up on a white board in one of their buildings. The building they kept repeating religiously that no pictures were allowed in. Apparently they forgot to erase the numbers, or simply couldn't as they were important to some task. But, yeah, sure as the sun rises, there were all the subscriber numbers to each of their games right there on a whiteboard for someone's cubicle.

[Anamodiel]

Wow.. I wonder what they do with that information...

I've always wished I was born 15 years earlier; I'd SO be a Dev at MXO. XD
