Corporate correct video interview of the key devs on WoW.
They talk superficially about things in WoW - nothing concrete.

Most interesting tidbits is Tigole mentioning he's raiding Karazhan - only.
He's enjoying it too!
In cognito.

There's a commercial for Tabula Rasa in the middle - quite interesting too!
Bit gimpy animations though.

They mention a bit about everquest, the mother of the genre with "experience" and "levels" and all that crap and the generic "morals" that were commonplace then.
Conquest gets mentioned too (thank you for getting us started in Molten Core!) and how Tigole believe they were the ones to radically changed this moral codex.

They also revisit Ultima Online and show you and explain how "stuff" worked in UO.
They seem really really enthralled by it.
Felt pretty medieval too, seeing a freshly killed criminal get totally stripped to the bone by a pack of vulturish players.
Hilarious in a schadenfreude way, hah!

Horsethieves were a pain in the ass too.
There's a killshot of Lum the Mad inside UO in the vid too; he's a notorious critic on UO that really went full out bitching at every single thing that the designers did and didn't do in UO on his news site.
He later became a developer on Dark Age of Camelot.

Nice video imo :)

Feels kinda what you expected. Feels like reading blue posts between the lines and seeing some guys speak about it casually.
And you thought you knew pain...
