Show notes:
Intro What is Ashes of Creation? What do you like best about some other MMOs you've played? What's the office environment like there at Intrepid? Why was this Kickstarter such a success? What did you learn from the Kickstarter process? Why did the web store take so long to start up? Will the store post totals? Why no stretch goals? Will there be continued fundraising? Have you done anything to mitigate complaints about the affiliate system? How much of the game is playable right now? Will we start getting blog posts again? How do you time nodes so they don't feel too quick or too static? What is the roadmap for this year? How will you wrangle a contentious community? What traditional MMO systems and features are you rethinking for Ashes? What will the housing system be like?
