... in which wef question the makers of a promising new MMORPG ...
Noon - it comes after the dawn
Some URLs for your perusal - glitchful's page - something awful - glitchful - forum
Will noon have player driven content?
What support are you giving to player communities?
The players can do anything thay want, and we wont
stop them (so long as they dont violate any real life
laws). we will be providing customer support, and
ingame GMs to respond to player problems.
Your game is freely admitting that it will have
lag - do you plan on making this a feature of the
game?
Yes, in fact we intend to add a quest in which the
players must search for the hidden magic net code that
will reduce their ping by 500ms
Are the rumours of 'lag equalising code' to give
everyone five second delays true?
No, its 10 seconds
Do you have any pets?
No. I was so busy programming Noon that i forgot to
feed them and they died. :(
Will Noon feature cats?
Maybe. no one has requested them... is this a request?
we have dogs, someone requested puppies so there are
puppies... would you like cats?
Given that you are building a virtual world to
entertain people, and given that you have infinite and
capricious powers within this world - would you like a
slice of toast?
Yes, with blackberry jam please.
Is it true that your players failed their beta
test?
Well this is really strange, they all seemed to have
problems with the "What is your name?" question.
How do you intend to survive in an increasingly
cut-throat market?
By not charging anyone anything.
Aren't you worried about the koreans?
Not unless they have sharks with laser guns attached
to there heads.
Is your game suitable for playing whilst hungry?
No. we dont recomend it. players suffering from
extream hunger have been known to devour thier
keyboards, and then dropping dead from plastic
poisoning. we would rather not face this law suit.
Will it feature 'leet PVP'?
Possibly... is that where you see who can spell leet
in the most l337 way?
Will it ever fail, once you're involved, to roxor
newbie ass?
No.
Is your game not "run by the nazi" because you
"don't lose your XP" ?
Yes... I mean no.... I mean....
Is infringing 'the mouses' copyright an issue to
you?
err.... would you like fries with that?
What system specs are you expecting? I notice
that your website states that 'a computer' will be
required - could you elaborate upon the advanced
playing interface that obviates the need for 'a
monitor' and 'electricity'?
Ahhh, see your wrong there. no monitor or electricity
is required. you see the whole point of the game is to
throw your computer at your target as hard as
possible. throwing your monitor as well will result in
massive skill penalties, useing electricity from a
third party source is a breach of the ToS and will
result in the immediate cancellation of your life...
What are your names?
I forget...
Is claiming to be creating a game, making money
off of T-shirt and beta-cd sales, and then not
actually making the game, fraud?
Yes it would be if that was what we are doing... but
we arnt selling t-shirts or cds of any kind.
Will your game be more biased to 'n00b' players,
or cater more directly to the 'ub3r'?
We expect n00b players to never live through the n00b
phase what with all the ub3r players hanging around
What about ub4r?
That's a breach of our ToS
What are your favorite colours?
blue... no yelloooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh....
Does your game actually feature yodelling as a
trade skill?
No, its a combat type skill. you yodel at your enemies
to not only bug the hell out of them, but make them
flee in panic.
After you have crushed the second generation
MMORG's - what is your strategy for retaining player
interest in the face the upcoming fourth generation
-such as CnD, Little-Computer-People-4 and
BrittneySpheres-vs-PowderPuffGirls?
Elf pr0n
According to your FAQ 'leet h4x0ring skillz' are
needed - is this a deliberate player skill, or will it
be solely governed by in game stats. Assuming it's an
out of game skill, will you be offerring tutorials?
err....ummmm.....errr.....
A microsoft employee questioned me, asking when
you were expecting to be bought out by them?
As soon as we come to an agreement on price... at this
point we are having trouble getting them to go as high
as 50 cents... really we would settle for a dollar...
