Horizons: Horizons Stratics Q&A with Rick Simmons

Horizons Stratics has a new Q&A up that you should all go check out. It features Rick Simmons, the Director of Engineering at Artifact Entertainment. He offers up some interesting takes on some common gameplay topics in the world of Istaria:[blockquote]In your opinion, what makes Horizons unique?
Horizons is unique because of the extensibility and speed at which we can change the game world, both in layout of the world, as well as the game play in the world. Our process to add a new feature into the game is very easy and efficient. For example, if someone requests that we add a specific feature to guilds or chat, we can often accomplish that change in hours, or days, but it is very rare for a change to take weeks. This flexibility is a combination of the database, simulation, network layer and client all being built with flexibility and extensibility in mind.[/blockquote]The rest of the article can be reached by following this link. Thanks to HZ Stratics for giving this Q&A (great questions!), and to Nelson for letting us know of its release.
