GameZone's Michael Lafferty indulges us with his highly interesting interview with GuideFox's managing partners, Karsten Aichholz and Till Straube, re the future of MMO strategy guides...
Q: What prompted you to get into this business?
Guidefox.com: “It was a sunny day in October when we inherited a hundred monkeys and a hundred typewriters...
No. The truth is, we started out writing up quest and strategy information for our EverQuest 1 guildmates. These mini-guides quickly grew in popularity and word spread beyond the periphery of our guild.
“Eventually, we ended up asking ourselves: Hey, what if we tried to sell this information which seems to be of such value to some?
“We quickly expanded into other games, stopped writing the guides ourselves and assigned this task to reliable authors instead. Luckily, we also had the technical skills to make the guidefox.com marketplace what it is today.”
