Nice post, although Bonedead’s onto something with numbered lists :-)

More Fallen Earth would be great. I’d love to see it do well but I can’t really bring myself to join an MMO without knowing some folks there, so blogs may be all I ever learn about it.

I’m completely with Treason XIII about what developers need to do. Often they don’t have the answers (and often the players can see that) and it’s more important for them to be able to admit that than to try and blag it.
And when it comes around that the problem is theirs to fix, they probably still don’t have the answers but if they’ve been listening hard they might have a better shot at guessing them ;-)

Honestly I’m more a fan of numbered lists. Because then I could be like, RIGHT ON WITH #6 and LOLOL @ #7. But now I’ve gotta be like, I agree that Ethic should post more or have a twitter side bar (because we all loves us some Ethic) and I love when other blogs mention me especially since I’m the best thing since emailing pictures of sliced bread.

“Unless you are a developer, you don’t need to give answers to problems you see.”

Honestly, as an actual paid game designer I would have to say, even if you are a developer, you don’t need to give answers to problems you see. Developers (in particular, designers) sometimes get into trouble with tunnel vision and start to see their own choices as rules on how things should be done. As a developer best thing to do is shut up and try to learn something.

As you can see, I’m not great at taking my own advice.

Congrats! Oh and about me writing more? There is a reason I decided to bring on additional folks here. I don’t have it in me to write much lately and keeping the site up and running properly takes a lot out of me. I have not played very often in the last year and it’s hard for me to find time to write when I can’t even find time to play. Winter is coming and that usually means more time for us icy north woods elders so hopefully you’ll get some more out of me.

There is a Fallen Earth post floating around in my head though…
