In an interview following his speech [at a recent online game conference in Seattle], I asked Smedley why he believes the online-game genre — which seems to be doing just fine — needs a shakeup. He also discussed why he hopes to bring more young girls into online gaming and what the company has learned from Blizzard’s success with “WoW.”

On Thursday, May 22nd Tech Support will be closed from 11:30am-3:00pm and will resume operations from 3:00pm-7:00pm Pacific Time.  We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

Walking in showed a few others walking around, some with early drinks, some just talking and hanging out. I got a chance to quickly talk with Hal who reminded me of someone who’s had a little too much caffeine in his system, but he’s in Seattle. If you’re going to live in Seattle, you may as well be part of the caffeine scene, right?

In any event, this was more a mingling level of an event. Lots of people talking and making light conversation, lots of awesome artwork hidden in the back where there wasn’t supposed to be photography, an ice sculpture of a gun, and an open bar for most of the evening.

Hal is, of course, lead designer of the upcoming MMO, The Agency!  If you're looking for more details, be sure to listen to the Ravecast tomorrow on Online Gaming Radio!

Official SOE Podcast #35 is live!!! Hear from Linda “Brasse” Carlson from thebrasse.com, we also would like to re-release our interview with Laralyn McWilliams from the Free Realms team.
