Spent some time yesterday with the Anarchy Online team and the players who were in town for the AO Fan Gathering. The community around the game has always been part of what makes it a very special part of my life, and for most of us who have worked on it. For a game that is almost ten years old now, the passion and friendliness of the players never ceases to raise a smile!
With over a hundred people attending, it made for a fun afternoon, which then continued on in the bar of the Dubliners well into what was technically Sunday. It is always nice to get to meet people and put some faces to the names of those you have interacted with down the years on forums or in-game.
So even if I only get to view AO from the outside now, production wise, it will always occupy a little corner of my developer heart.
Colin and his team were great hosts, hosted a Q&A, showed off some footage of the new engine, and entertained folks well into the night...some pics from the session at the office here in Oslo...
...hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did...
