MMORPG.com's own Bill Murphy spoke with Global Agenda Executive Producer Todd Harris about the game's launch and future.

MMORPG.com:

Traditionally Open Betas are seen as a sort of marketing exercise, do you think shirking the traditional practice was beneficial?

Todd Harris:

Definitely. For this final Beta phase we had a number of goals but two of the most important were: 1. tune server stability and 2. see how players and groups would behave within Conquest so we could tweak some meta-game rules. These goals both required a large population. The Conquest dynamics are very emergent and require tens of thousands of users participating. Fortunately our pre-order campaign was very successful and so our pre-order customers were able to experience the game early and provide more than enough people to satisfy our Beta testing goals.

Read the Launch Day Interview.

Cheers,

They turned the servers on EARLY!   I'm in.

No open world but this game is pure fun!   Based on my Beta experience it is well worth the purchase price.

not trying to flame or anything but why would i want to pay to play (yes i understand there is a free to play option) this over games like MW2, bad company 2 or even MAG?

Sometimes money is a good filter. ;)

I do not know much about this game yet though.

Conquest is a bit broken and silly atm. With that being said I gladly bought the game just for the public server experience. Nothing wrong with paying $45 to pub.

Once they tune the AvA a bit more they will get a monthly sub from me.

Played GA all day today, it was great. I'll be subbing to get in on the good content coming. If you love pvp and shooters then it is for you. The game is tons of fun. If you are tired of the same ole same ole then you should give GA a try. It is addictingly fun to play.

The Launch went verry well   . In the 5 hours i had to play yesterday (rushing home from work with reckless abandon) the servers only went down 2 times .. and each time it was only down for 15 minutes. As for game play , it was even better than i hoped for. My expectations were high since i was waiting for this game to come out for 1.5 yrs and i was not dissapointed.

Hats off to the Devs for a pretty darned smooth launch

Work hard Play Harder

But for how long?.. a new game is always an exciting distraction.  But we'll see after the first month if it has the staying power.

Damn, i missed beta...

Any way i could get 1-day or even 1-hour pass to try it out? paying 45€ to try is a bit Expensive....

Looks very nice so far!

It will be a good game until the subscription phase kicks in in May.  Charging money to play a FPS is just not going to fly even if it is attempting to be billed as a MMO.

I think they will make radical changes to be more like MMO and especially more RPG when that monthly fee phase kicks in.. They either do something or end up like Warhammer..

The monthly fee model didn't work very well for Planetside. I recall seeing may people complain about paying to play a FPS. Planetside was even more of a MMOG than GA, given the amount of people that could be fighting on the map at the same time. GA seems more like Tribes with a subscription.

I wish GA the best of luck, I just wonder if it will be able to maintain a population.

People will pay for anything no matter what it is. As long as they are happy and gaming then it doesn't matter to them.
