Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Ten Ton Hammmer:
The Deities section on the website says that it will be possible in the future to have the deeds of your family and guilds etched into the Great Library?

David:
Correct. That’s part of the competitive system that's planned and that's related to the upcoming achievement system and it's going to be available on multiple levels. Guilds will be able to gain recognition for feats that they perform. So will families. Obviously, you have to have different sets of rules because families are just everybody that chooses that and some families are going to be naturally stronger than others because one family may statistically have more teenage kids in it who really don't care and another one more adult people interested in more goals. We're aware of that and will take things like it into account.

Ten Ton Hammmer:
So throughout the website, and even through the interview so far, we've heard bits and pieces about the Great Library. What is it and how will it affect the playing experience of gamers?

David:
Right now, if you play World of Warcraft, you either have an add-on or you go to Thottbot or Wowhead to get whatever information you need. The Library built into Alganon is pretty much like having Thottbot or Wowhead built into the game itself.

If you hit the Y key or hit the library button, you can type in the name of any mob, any quest, any item, any tradeskill, any class... anything. It's all in there and it's all straight from the horse’s mouth. There's no third party processing issue. It has *everything* from the game. Type in anything from the game, and it's in the Library for you to read. It can tell you where every NPC is, what creatures drop a specific item you're looking for. If you type in the name of a quest, it will bring up the information on the quest and has links embedded in it to show you who you need to talk to, where you need to go.

Go out to MyAlganon.com and play with it. We also have the equivalent of the WoW Armory already in there too. The Great Library is really an awesome feature of the game. This is embedded within the game itself and is fully functional right now.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to come talk with us today, David. The game is currently in open beta right now folks, so get over there and give it a try. Be sure to check out my first impressions of the game as well. Until next time, happy gaming everyone!
