Want to be a Desperate Housewife in Orange County or a game writer?

Is that a tidbit of information that I can gleen from a help wanted ad? Carbine (NCsoft subsidiary) is "currently working on an unannounced Massively Multiplayer Game." In the help wanted section of their website, they are looking to hire someone with the following responsibilities:

"Responsibilities:
· Participates in the planning the design of in-game quests, authoring and maintaining design documents.
· Gather reference and work with the other quest designers on the team to maintain established priorities for quest development.
· Writes/Edits in-game quest text.
· Collaborates with the quest design teams to ensure consistent voice and continuity with established IP.
· Reviews and provides feedback on all writing and quest elements in the game."

Re-read the fourth bullet point. Which "established IP" could this be? What's interesting is that I recall an interview where the lead designer specifically stated Carbine was working on an original IP. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, or maybe it is just an innocuous reference to the IP they are currently establishing. If you want to move to Orange County, there are worse places to be in the gaming business and Carbine Studios has ten job offerings on their site.
