Benjamin Wang Interview

How has Eudemons been faring in early 2010?

Benjamin Wang:

As a four-year old fantasy MMO, it's not easy to stand out and stay prosperous in the challenging MMO market. Eudemons Online has been through many changes and major updates and still needs to be improved. Currently, we have established quite a committed & talented player base. The newly released expansion has brought many veterans back, which is really encouraging to our dev team! In early 2010, we held a string of events and sales to celebrate the New Year and the romance of Valentine's Day. People were having a lot of fun.

We are happy to see many old faces back with us, joining together and facing new challenges. Especially of note is the fact that EO has released our first two Flying Mounts in February, which were long anticipated and soon gained the accolades of all our players. A flying mount composing contest is underway right now. We are constantly amazed by our players' enthusiasm and talented creativity!

What player feedback has the game received in recent months?

Benjamin Wang:

Demon Rising was a success as soon as it was released in December, 2009. Our players just love it. They have shown greater interest in the game. They thought Demon Rising is the best expansion that Eudemons Online had ever had. It benefits players by giving them a more in-depth look into the background story of the Demon Wars as well as some awesome rewards! The quests and the graphics are lot better than before. They are anxious to see the sequels, which are coming up soon!

MMORPG.com:

How have the recent changes impacted players?

Benjamin Wang:

The most appealing part of Demon Rising is its polished gameplay experience. Players are very enthusiastic about the new quests. They are anxious to get stronger and more willing to cooperate with one another to overcome various difficulties. The game has offered our players a challenge worthy of their skill.

MMORPG.com:

Are there plans to implement more systems for players in the near future?

Benjamin Wang:

We do have plans on system enhancement. Divine players can now start expecting a brand new divine eudemon composing system in the near future. It is called Soul Composing. Thus, the hidden potential of the divine eudemons will be unlocked. Their battle power will be greatly enhanced through the progressing stages. The official site will soon release the details! Keep a close eye on us!

MMORPG.com:

What can players expect from Eudemons in 2010?

Benjamin Wang:

There will be plenty. We have many exciting features, mounts and quests scheduled for 2010. And we will keep doing events for festivals through the year. It will be a year full of new surprises.

MMORPG.com:

What has been the reaction to PvP systems in the game?

Benjamin Wang:

Oh, this question reminds me a joke. One of our most hardcore players told me that he used to be a red name player but now his name is always white because he spent so much time on the new quests that he barely had any time for PK! Of course, it is just a joke. I am not saying players will stop PK. Actually, their gaming skills get greatly improved through the quests. Many are running the new quests in the hopes of being stronger in PvP combat.

MMORPG.com:

Are there plans to add new content to the game that will offer different challenges to players other than normal questing?

Benjamin Wang:

Yes, definitely! Next month, EO will update another additional quest to the new expansion, named Demon Hell. The new eudemon composing system will also be released to help divine players enhance their battle power. And what we have to emphasize is: there will be more content added to the expansion in future. It is just the beginning.

MMORPG.com:

How do you see the MMO market in 2010?

Benjamin Wang:

We'll likely be seeing a greater convergence in the marketplace as the lines between F2P and P2P games are blurred even further. With more games sporting graphics and content of P2P caliber, but still possessing the low entry threshold of a F2P title, we hope to see the acceptance of the F2P model among western gamers. Games like DDO and Horizons that sport a hybrid model are also gaining momentum, so all in all, it will be a very exciting year for the industry.

MMORPG.com:

Is there one change you would like to make to Eudemons that has not been done yet?

Benjamin Wang:

Personally speaking, I hope there could be a voice chat system in game. It would be cool if you can talk rather than type to your teammates while doing quests. Besides, communication will be more effective through conversations. Sometimes, I wish I had 4 hands!!

MMORPG.com:

Do you have a message for new players?

Benjamin Wang:

Thank you for your continued support for Eudemons Online and we hope that you enjoy playing the game as much as we enjoy supporting it. We know you're going to love everything that's coming this year, so keep your eyes peeled.
