The Junkyard has posted an interview with Laurent P. Paret, Co-Founder and VP Business Development and Programmer at NP Cube, the developer of 'Dark And Light', an upcoming fantasy MMORPG.

Here's a snip:
tJY: With Dark And Light having the largest game-play area of any MMORPG, are you worried about not having enough people to fill up enough space? How are you prepared to deal with this potential problem?

Laurent: First of all, we have one server. So, everyone will be on the same server.

Thanks to the transportation system, we added a notion of hot spot that gives the player the ability to move to where there is in his community.

This question is the main problem of every game in this genre. So, while I will not tell you that you will never feel alone, you’ll actually never be alone... In fact because of our past experience in scripted off line games and thanks to the Game Designers who played a lot online games, we have chosen to always give hints about the environment to the player. The game communication systems were also developed to always be in touch with people from your community. With our ALF (Autonomous Life Form) system, we can have a lot of life close to you. ALFs are popped in your area to disturb you. Many game mechanics exist to entertain you.
