Matthew Burroughs Interview

Although Artifact has decided to keep quiet about their upcoming MMORPG, Horizons Vault was able to get an interview with Matthew Burroughs, the game’s brand new Commmunity Director. Here’s a taste:

The MMORPG market is going to have a lot of stiff competition, with releases from Sony, Microsoft, Vivendi, and Ubi Soft. What will make people who’ve never heard of Horizons, or have ever played a MMORPG pick up Horizons?

Matt: I am very excited about the MMORPG market. I think every single MMORPG that comes out will do a service to the gaming community and the very young genre that has evolved from the devoted MUD gamers. Each game offers something very different, and draws a different audience. I have no doubt that Horizons will find its place in the gaming world and carve out its own little niche. We plan on adding enough content and immersion factors to let people play Horizons for years and years. The games that endure the flood of competition will be the ones that are properly set up to evolve and are more dynamic in nature, allowing for a more variety of game play experience. Horizons will be one of those games.
