Features Simutronics VP Neil Harris.

He tells a story around the 25 minute mark that confirms that cheese attracts rats!

[Alfster]

Short version please

[Kuyuk]

they noticed noobs putting cheese on the floor, and then coded it so it attracted rats.

[Methais]

All I heard was blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Wow, HJ is starting to look pulled together...

[Makkah]

It's interesting that it appears they have added undead. WoW rip-off? Hm...

[Celephais]

Holy cow... it's entirely wow ripoff... christ, look at the health and mana "potion" vials. So much about the layout looks like WoW... that's terrible. I really hope they cut that shit out.

[Seran]

Ok, everything from the quest dialogue screen, loot menu, and level-up animation looks to be a straight rip-off from WoW.

[Apathy]

I'm halfway impressed, actually.

[Stanley Burrell]

I like how Erwin Schrödinger is doing the interview. Ve don't believe zin rat-infested catacombs, Lebowski.

[Kuyuk]

I'm actually a little impressed too....

graphics look a lot tighter than they did previously...

hmm....very interesting what happens when you get bought by big companies

Many games had those panels before WoW. If anything WoW ripped them off.

[Makkah]

Yea, not so much the panel shit... that shit's old and established.

BTW, GM Diviana just corrected on some forums that the "undead" looking race isn't undead at all. She didn't clarify what they were; just not undead. Probably some undead-like race.

[Seran]

I wonder if anyone else see's the irony of a Chinese guy who runs a company that specializes in making money off of other people's games?

Hell, if it's a lucrative business, I'm sure I could hire a few hundred impoverished Korean's or Chinese to farm whatever game he might name for profit.

HJ is still supposed to be based in Elanthia, just at a different time than Gemstone and Dragonrealms are.
