D&D Online: 30 Minutes on Module 3 @ Ten Ton Hammer

by Dhruin, 2006-09-26 23:39:00
Ten Ton Hammer has posted a 'phone interview with Turbine's James Jones and David Eckelberry on D&DO and Module 3. Here's the rather excited intro:
It finally happened. The interview you've been clamoring for became a reality. I was excited for more than the obvious reasons because the person who was calling me was none other than James Jones, Executive Producer at Turbine. When the call came, things only got better! Lead Designer for DDO David Eckelberry was in the room, too! I knew I'd be able to toss out my toughest questions and get an answer. This wasn't just somebody loosely associated with DDO. I had the go-to guys!

And let me just say that these guys were great. Talking with them was a comfortable experience. They willingly fielded all questions and didn't become annoyed with critical inquiries into design elements. Please note that I did not ask about player-vs-player (PvP) combat despite the negative views we have sometimes expressed about PvP here at DDO @ Ten Ton Hammer. That decision was mine and not any indication of a lack of cooperation from Turbine. We're at the point that we know PvP is coming to the game, and developers have continually stated that design for PvP will not negatively impact player-vs-environment (PvE) game play. I didn't want to insult them by making them repeat that position for the thousandth time. I'll wait and see how it plays out, and then I'll take them to task if need be!
