Rubies of Eventide Interview

GameOgre has conducted an interview with Cyber Warrior, asking the developers several questions about the MMORPG they were considering closing down, but (luckily!) kept it alive, Rubies of Eventide. Check it out:
Q: Do you feel that your PvP system is properly balanced?

A: Currently PvP combat exists in Rubies of Eventide in the form of consensual duels between two parties. Each player is given the choice whether or not to enter the battle, and any that refuse are prevented from entering the combat instance. As expected from a completely consensual system, it is a rather minor focus in the game at this time.

We are, however, planning on increasing the meaning of associating with certain factions in the game, and giving people that openly join a group certain in game advantages, with the disadvantage that they would now be considered consenting to war with the enemies of the NPC group that they have chosen to affiliate themselves with. As always, players must choose wisely in their actions, and decide for themselves whether or not they want the responsibility that comes with affiliating with powerful allies.

In addition to the interview, GameOgre has also tossed up a review of the game, giving it a score of 4.5/5.
