In this first in a series of articles, Phil Maurer, the Operations Team Lead for the upcoming MMORPG, Sword of the New World joins Garrett Fuller to answer his questions.

MMORPG.com:

Granado Espada has had tremendous success in the Asian Market. Can you tell us the reaction you have had from players in the U.S.?

Phil Maurer:

So far our focus groups have shown incredibly positive response to Sword of the New World. The game play is fast and fun, and the graphics make people want to keep exploring to see what is in the next area. In fact we have had some problems with how much fun the game is. We are currently doing in house testing and more then a few of our support staff was staying up late playing sword and not sleeping, we ended up having to place limits on some accounts.

Read the whole interview here.

Cheers,
Jon Wood

You didn't ask the most crucial question.  "Are you going to suck at hosting this game as you have so many others in the passed?"

Somewhere between the parries/dodges and half-answered questions, I think. Did he actually SAY anything? I mean, like stuff we didn't already know, or even mattered really.

No he didn't say much, but at least they are talking again.  Been a long time.  I think this game would be fun if properly supported and translated.

This game is worth a try, could get kinda confusing especially  when you have a lot of players on screen since you can control 3 characters at once. But once you get 30+ you pretty much have to afk level if you want to continue and enjoy playing.

Does all the asian games have the same artist?  Characters always look the same.  Looks bland.  I think i'm done with asian MMO's.  Especially if they utilize stalls to sell items and supa-malls to buy items with cash.

Hey Mr. Wood is there any possiblity we can pu together a list of questions to ask next time.  Not that I didn't love your questions but, some of them weren't really what I was hoping we would get.

Any, I just thought it'd be cool if the community could get a couple questions in .

I for one think that this mmo is the best mmo out of asia to date, and it's still in beta.  I wan't wait to see the graphics overhaul and the new attainable PCs.  I don't see GE keeping my interest for over a year but if they do happen to launch before AoC, WAR, or Darkfall I could definately see myself playing this until those games do come out.  A big factor for me will be how they implement pvp in this game.

Jeez Garrett, why not ask him the one question everyone wants to hear, what about K2's dismal performance in the past?

The shame of it is, it seems to be a pretty good game, unfortunately going to be run by a bunch of yahoos whose only aim in life is to exploit the playerbase.

So after the link to the interview started working, I'm left with the following question:

Uh..where's the interview?

Apologies, but why on earth did you even bother to post this, Mr. Wood? My interest in this title is vague at best, but that's not exactly an interview worth the screen its displayed on. So they have a proprietary graphics engine. Let me try not to be too sarcastic... That the game will scale well on low-end machines is possibly the only piece of information in the whole piece.

Perhaps the interviewer could have asked a semi-useful question, like:

Hey, why are *all* asian MMOs either anime-esque or a bunch of white-haired pretty boys towing along a bunch of supermodels with over-sized jubblies jiggling about?

(not that I mind over-sized jubblies flopping about)

Have to agree. This guy answered "Cannot comment at this time" way too often. Especially to the controversial question, "Why the name change?" They don't know the reason? Then, this guy is the ops manager. They need to hire a community relations manager pronto.

Also, to the interviewer - the art style of the game is Baroque, not Victorian. This is based on 1700's, not 1800's. Just an FYI.

Two good pieces of information:
No Lineage II style grind
Art engine scales

I've been reading ever GE site I could find, and could never find clear comments on leveling. Here's hoping to get in the next crop of Singapore GE beta testing.

"Sword of the New World"... Seriously, who the hell came up with that meaningless title? I have really tried to make any sense of these words but they just seem to be randomly put together.

How about calling it:
"Big Potatoe Shines Bright"

HAHA....

if i could choose to play a mmo i really like (say WoW, EQ 1, Vanguard etc) with the asian characters that would be awesome...as far as i know asian design looks so much better then americans...but every game has to have different styles...

just think of it this way...some or most of the cartoons on television is coming or originating for asian countries...

I advise everyone to play sGE and not bother with the K2 North American version.  sGE is english too and it probably won't cost you a monthly fee.  It will be released sooner also. sGE > SOTNW
