So you know -- after a game like Galaxies is launched, the Lead Designer's day-to-day job involves gathering info and opinions, formulating creative solutions, making gameplay decisions, choosing task priorities and providing support for the Design team. This similar to what I had done before at other companies (like 3DO, Kinesoft, Bootprint, and Origin Systems), but never with so many designers to manage, and never approaching Galaxies' scale.
Fortunately, the SOE design team is comprised of the most talented folks I could've hoped for. And with all the challenge and hardship, the looming deadlines, and everything else that comes with building the biggest, broadest MMORPG conceived to-date, it was still the most fun I've ever had!
