Warcry has published http://www.warcry.com/scripts/columns/view_sectionalt.phtml?site=15&id=102&colid=4962">an interview with Sigil Games' Cindy Bowens, in which the community manager discusses her previous gaming jobs, working with EverQuest creator Brad McQuaid, and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Check it out:
I was thinking what my reaction would have been if Brad McQuaid asked me to come and work on his current pet project...THE next MMO. (There would not be an unbroken pane of glass in the neighborhood.) Cindy was, I thought, rather calm under the circumstances:

)I was not planning to join Sigil when I left Sony. I had started my own events company and was working on that. But when I met with Brad and we again discussed our views on community building, I was hooked. Brad and I have always had similar views on the importance of the community, the fan sites and good communication with all of them.

(I knew I would enjoy working with Brad, Jeff and this team. But I think the thing that made up my mind was realizing this was a chance to do something that had not been done before.to develop and cultivate a game community from the ground up.

(Once the decision was made, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to get started! And I haven't regretted it for a minute!)
