Well it's gettin' close ta Christmas and everyone's wondering what Satin Claws has in store for us this year. Who better to ask than the "hound at the helm" himself, Mr Fracas.
As a side note to the rest of the Lineage 1 team back at NC Austin... Where's Roo's presents? >.<
[Read on] for the full story...

Hey Fracas. Firstly a HUGE welcome back. You were just getting to grips with things when the mighty NCsoft shake-up occured, and CaptSturm came crashing back in on the party... Where did you go? What did you do?.... did ya miss us? |
 Fracas |
Well, it so happened that one of our products under development was wanting to create an internal QA department just as my gig as "Lineage guy" was going away. They needed somebody to lead it so I dived in to do so, and that's what I've been doing ever since. It's a fun job, and it wasn't an easy call to leave, but the truth is that I DID miss Lineage and felt my work on it wasn't done...so here I am! Back! Hooray! |
|
Rooella |
Well that sounds pretty cool, but ya'll know that anything that isn't Lineage 1 is evil... How does it feel to be back in the saddle? |
|
Fracas |
You know, it feels pretty good. Although weird at first, I feel the rust shaking off and have had my fair share of "OOH YEAH I REMEMBER THAT!" moments, which are always fun. |
|
Rooella |
We were all pretty bummed-out when you told us we wouldn't see Episode 5 or a Holiday event this year... but apparently you told us a whacking great lie! What's the deal with that man? |
|
Fracas |
Haha did I lie? I did not! I remember saying I was determined to give y'all an event and BAM, here she comes. Well, assuming it doesn't burn to the ground and die on the test server over the weekend.
If I DID lie it's only because I am horrifically mean. |
|
Rooella |
Okay then, we'll let you off... maybe... but what's the deal with Episode 5? What special treats can we expect for the unique US ruleset? |
|
Fracas |
I could make up stuff but I'm not going to. Truth is I need to get it propped up on its feet and running and then spend time learning it.
Once I know it, I can tweak it. I'll do my best to keep y'all updated on this progress. |
|
Rooella |
Speaking of the special stuff... Just before you were shoved into the land of QA you had created some rather unique (and frackin' awesome if I do say so myself) content for us... The Trial of Doom.
Can we expect more things like this in the future? |
|
Fracas |
Hah, I hope so. The Trial of Doom was A LOT of fun to implement, I really felt like I was doing something different. I was nervous about how it'd go over, but from what I understand, it went over pretty well? Maybe?
If nothing else it gave me a chance to dig up and dabble in every single Lineage tool we have, which is fun for me, so yes, I fully intend on trying to produce more content like that in the future. |
|
Rooella |
Aaanyway, we've kinda gone of the point a bit here... Christmas...
Will there be pie? |
|
Fracas |
Yes. Lots of it. |
|
Rooella |
Woo! What ya got Roo for Christmas? huh? huh? :D |
|
Fracas |
Hahahah NOTHING. Well...yeah, ok, NOTHING. Hahaha still funny! |
|
Rooella |
When's Episode 1 coming? :P |
|
Fracas |
NEVER AGAIN! |
|
Rooella |
When's Episode 6 coming? |
|
Fracas |
I think it'd be funny to get it out before Episode 5. Then again, whenever I think something is funny, it's usually a really bad idea. |
|
Rooella |
A little birdie told me that ya'll were working on a grand-scale server consolidation of doom... That still in the pipe? |
|
Fracas |
That is something I was working on before I left and it may be something I try to work on again.
To be honest though, I'm not sure, quit distracting me from Episode 5! |
|
Rooella |
How many roads must a man walk down? |
|
Fracas |
Wow this song was going through my head all day! No kidding!
A bunch. |
|
Rooella |
Well we'd better let Fracas get on, else we'll NEVER see Episode 5.... EVER muhahaha.
Thanks for taking the time out of yer busy schedule Mr F, and welcome back. You ROCK! |
|
Fracas |
