Interview: Meet Balor Rone
In today's interview, Martuk talks Vanguard: Saga of Heroes with fan
fiction writer, Ultima Online alumnus, and Vanguard Ten Ton Hammer
community member Balor Rone. Read what Balor Rone has to say about
Vanguard and commercialism in gaming.
I highly dislike the commercialism that occurs in
video games. In 2002 there were loads of video games on the market that
were unique and they would all cater to the specific tastes of the
individual gamer. When blizzard came out with World of Warcraft, there
was an influx of commercial competition between games, and the
uniqueness of games suddenly became a bad thing.
