2Moons: David Perry Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault has an interview with ex-Shiny David Perry on his Korean MMOG collaboration, 2Moons:

Jonric: To begin by introducing 2Moons, what kind of online world will it be, what forms of gameplay will if offer, and what's the target launch date?

David Perry: 2Moons is targeted for early 2007 and has a pretty epic story. Hehe, I guess we should make it lead up to the sequel, 3Moons! :) The story is being written by a guy called Henry Jones, based in Hollywood (however he's actually cool and doesn't wear sunglasses in meetings), and he's been given enormous freedom that many MMO writers might not normally be given - the main one being that this is a 'mature' title, so there's no problem with profanity, innuendo or strange goings-on.

The twist is that the world doesn't need 10 World of Warcraft clones. So - to be really clear - I'm not heading in that direction at all.
My goal has been to try to balance the game with four main components... that would be fighting, quests, exploration, and hanging out, with some trading. We expect people to spend a majority of their time seeing how far out into the world they can penetrate. You start from one of two cities, and work from there; unless you work for the developer, at some point, you'll be handed your ass, and that's when it's time to join a party or guild. Then, with good backup support and a passionate need to return the favor, you will start to reach deep into some of the 20+ lands this game has.
