OMGN is hosting a two-part interview with Iton Will Games co-founder, Bill Money, about the company's MMORPG property, Ashen Empires. (Part 1, Part 2.) In the interview, Mr. Money summarizes the game, its history, and shares his thoughts on the future of both the game and the industry.
OMGN: What is Ashen Empires in general?

Bill Money: Ashen Empires is a fantasy, swords and sorcery, MMO. One thing that makes Ashen Empires unique is the game is a 'classless' game. Meaning you can choose to play your character in whatever manner you wish. If you want to be an archer or a mage or a warrior or any combination of those you are free to do it with just one character. There are also many trade skills and non-combat related activities to keep you busy.

OMGN: Could you give us a little time-line and insight into history of Ashen Empires?

Bill Money: Ashen Empires was originally called Dransik. Dransik was developed by a small startup company called Asylumsoft. Asylumsoft eventually sold the game to TKO Software who re-branded the title to Ashen Empires. Over time, the game has progressed from a small overhead tile based game, to an isometric view game to what it is today, an isometric view with layered terrain tiles and a lighting model.
