Exclusive Post Launch Interview with Jeff Hickman and Josh Drescher

[Cody Bye]

After almost a week of post launch activities, it seems like the new kid on the MMOG block is here to stay. With Mark Jacobs proclaiming Warhammer Online as having the smoothest launch in MMO gaming history, it’s easy to see that the WAR staff is excited about the future of their game. To really gather the info about everything post launch related, the Ten Ton Hammer staff sat down with WAR’s Josh Drescher and Jeff Hickman to find out exactly what the team is working on and what sort of plans they have for the future. Enjoy!

Ten Ton Hammer: We talked with Mark [Jacobs] about the downtime and the pacing of the game. What are your feelings about the pace? It seems like there’s absolutely zero downtime and it’s a very intense game. Do you think there’s a point of burn out?

Jeff: That’s a great question and it’s something I actually worry about a lot. We want to try to balance the amount of downtime you have with the fun you’re having in the game. We’re finding right now that we don’t have to force downtime. Players will actually choose to have downtime. They’ll take a break and go to the city of go craft or something else.

WAR is a joke and according to community pretty much ready to have a server merge already. I do not see that commenetd in this interview at all. Nothing about the fact that WAR, even though graphics engine is outdated need more hardware than AoC to run. The game also suffest from frequent creashes, horrendous lagging and slideshow FPS. Also more importantly, nobody want to play Order in this game so it's impossible to hold RvR on about half the servers. How do thses guys get away with the statement the most successfull launch ever. That is complete BS, LotRO had a supersmooth launch. This is a straight out lie and WAR has a tremendous amount of issues to overcome before they are ready to talk about successes of any kind.
