I would like to thank everyone that I interviewed, you were very cooperative and I had a lot of fun. I know that these questions could have all been asked on the forum, but I chose to do all of my interviewing in game for a number of reasons. First, the answers were kept short and to the point. I think the interview style also made them keep things breif yet effective. Second, I caught a lot of people off guard and they said what was on their mind without the influence of others and without a lot of preperation, which i feel leads to a more instinctive answer. Also, I interviewed quite a few people, in fact a suprisingly large amount today that have never once seen the forums, yet play every day and are in fact playing too much to even more than glance at the forums. I also interviewed in game cause i would be interviewing people who actually play, not people who have access to the board yet have canceled their accounts, don't play much, or have been banned. I encourage and will send the devs this post. I am going to be publishing this on a weekly basis, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer and I feel it gives a very "real" picture of how the community feels. I will be discussing many issues and am covering all of the english servers. At the very least it will be somewhat entertaining. If you have ideas for future questions that you want me to ask or ideas for making the format I've used better, please feel free to PM me. This was more work than I thought so I hope you enjoy. Thanks again.
