Dungeons And Dragons Online: Dragonshard Interview @ IGN

Jasen Torres, leader designer of Dragonshard, which has recently gone into beta testing, sat down with IGN for an interview. Here's a quote:

Dragonshard is still an RTS game, so it isn't going to replace those hardcore RPGs on everyone's favorites list as the new hardcore RPG. But it is a fantastic RTS game that has lots of RPG elements, so I think that makes it attractive to any type of gamer that likes RTS games or RPGs. I suppose if a hardcore RPG fan is looking only for a hardcore RPG, they might be disappointed. However, if they are looking for an RTS with lots of RPG elements, I think the game will suit them extremely well.

The interview goes on to discusses what makes the game different, what dragonshards are, the differences between Eberron and the Forgotten Realms, as well as other topics. Page one of three is conveniently located here.
