Ashen Temper Chat @ UnknownPlayer

UnknownPlayer.com has posted up a transcript of a chat they had with Ashen Temper of Wolfpack about their upcoming MMORPG Shadowbane. Here’s a taste of what to expect:

{UnknownPlayer} As many of us know Shadowbane will be heavily based on PVP, What steps have you taken to make sure that it is done fairly and with out cheating?

{Ashen_Temper} Well, from a programming standpoint, everything is done server-side. Using Gear, “Extreme” programs, and the sort will just play havoc with the client side (the side the end user is one) and may make you even easier to defeat.
{Ashen_Temper} From a design standpoint, there are many checks and balances in the game.
{Ashen_Temper} I wrote an entire article on the Player Justice system… just haven’t released it yet because it was going to be released on the now deceased LtM
{Ashen_Temper} For instance, a few things we have done are unique names, the ability to see anyone’s Guild Affiliation, no instant recalls, and made almost everyone very territory-based
