I pity RPGVault for the ad orgy IGN has imposed on them, since they still do excellent features, but they are now buried beneath these ads, ads, ads. Their latest feature is a Earth & Beyond Designer Diary, written by Westwood Studios' Rade Stojsavljevic, producer on Earth and Beyond Online. He gives you a rundown of his day:

Right around now, I usually log on to the game for an hour or so. I like spending time with the product on a daily basis. It keeps me grounded and focused on what's getting done, and it's great to see the immediate results of our efforts in the beta test. Right now I'm playing a 40th-level Progen Warrior, and recently I've been darting around from sector to sector helping out some of the new players with tips, tricks and rewards. One of my favorite parts of working on a MMORPG is that the public can give feedback right after we implement a new feature. The community has given us some amazing feedback on what they want, don't want, and what they think we can refine. They've really been invaluable in building the game.
After I log out, I'll visit the message boards again to read new threads and post responses to player inquiries. |
