Anarchy Online It's Alive #1

RPGVault has begun a new series for Anarchy Online entitled "It's Alive", in which the development team reveals some details about running the persistent world. In the first installment, game director Morten Byom describes the processes that they go through to add live content to the game. A snip:
The process of deciding what to put into a live update often starts months before the content is moved to the live servers. It starts with the Game Director deciding what part of the game that needs to be strengthened. Since we just released the Alien Invasion expansion pack, it was a natural step for us to continue on the alien story arc. The new playfields will thus be the next chapter of the alien story, further revealing information on their agenda.
