It's only natural that those who would stem this dark tide have been drawn together as well. To this end, numerous Dwarves, Halflings, Kerrans, High Elves, Wood Elves, Erudites and Barbarians have swelled the native Human and Half Elf population of another community, Qeynos, located on the shores of New Antonica. Following their leader, Antonia Bayle, they are pledged to advance the cause of good and nobility, their goal being the restoration of hope to the devastated world. And of course, there are some who linger in the shadows, waiting to see which side fate favors before casting their lots. With the team hard at work building on this backdrop, and interest continuing to rise, we had the chance to ask Lead Client Programmer Richard Baker and Lead Server Programmer Jon Davis about various facets of the game's underlying technology.
