Interesting read on the new guy. Thoughts? Seems like a bit of a rookie to me with no real relevant experience. I don't get it, to be honest. http://www.massively.com/2010/04/20/the-tattered-notebook-a-moment-with-dave-georgenson/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Massively+(Massively)

So, honestly, I haven't played EverQuest II a lot except in recent history, when I started to work for SOE again. Now I'm a pretty happy player, of course, and I spent my entire weekend on it. Gotta catch up!
Seriously?

And he has zero PvP experience. I am a little worried how that will effect PvP in the game.

Hence my concern. Hey, at least he's played "all weekend." I think that puts us in good hands, right? :/ I read another interview that was equally as disturbing. In a nutshell it says morale was down way too low under Brenlo and he's the morale guy. He is a big microtransaction guy and a guy who I think will dumb down EQ2 to make it easy to get in for 5 minutes and get something accomplished. On the positive side, he said we don't need to be another WOW clone (which I feel like the game was becoming) and he says that the next expansion will make everyone happy (which I think means it will be Velious.)

The new producer posted this over on the OF in response to my question about his PvP experience. " I was working at Activision when we did MechNet (one of the very first PvP computer experiences) and worked on the Mech II series, as well as Heavy Gear 2.
I Produced/Directed "Tribes 2"
I Produced/Directed "PlanetSide"
I was an avid player of RvR in DAoC
I've played countless years of tabletop minature strategy games (and even ran a company that did that for a living)."Intresting but he is also comparing FPS games with MMO style PvP not really the same IMO.
