Dallas was only there for a short time I mean it couldn't have been more than 4 months. Sucks to see him leave.

I think CriticalMass forgot to add the part where he talks about the work on various game titles that he's done in the past.

He said he's VS (though he's played all the empires, TR first, then NC, now VS). It's about time a non-art dev played VS

(I'm kidding, I know the devs play all the empires).

He did seem a little quirky...almost like he was trying to appeal to a younger audience (which the majority of PS subscribers, are not). Oh well, I'm willing to give the guy a shot, I mean it's not like one guy can make a huge impact in the game, it's more of a team effort than anything.

i wonder, this is sorta sudden, and i dont wanna speculate (dallas could read this), but, is it possible he could have been fired? i dunno, but i hope not, he was cool, mabey he was restationed to another job.

and also, this new guy, he likes the intelivision, ew.

He likes INTELEVISION!!!!!

The game is already problem free.

Hes not going for a younger audience. Hes going for people like ME! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I like him already.

= Game developement

= RAJA

Or i have a feeling.

That's disconcerting. Both he and Dave Georgeson were Producers and then opted to no longer be a Producer for the game. I wonder why this is. (<- genuine interest)

Maybe Dallas is working on Planetside 2?

Or Tanarus 3?

Or PlanetQuest? :/

Too early for Planetside 2. Only one expansion so far. This is SOE we're talking about, you know.

I agree, it is a good thing he is an Infiltrator. At least he will have a chance at understanding the deeper concepts of the game

Phaelon · 2004-02-25, 10:32 AM

People rarely seem to leave SOE or get fired, they always just move around. I knew quite a few people from guiding on EQ and I don't know the name of any of thier positions now, they move around so much. One guy I believe is in charge of all tech troubleshooting for EQ, and another was in charge of all guides, and then he was in dev.

SOE loves shuffling its ranks around, it doesn't like players having a familiarity with current people.

BlackDrop · 2004-02-25, 03:41 PM

He is an empire jumper...therefore can't be trusted.

Ait'al · 2004-02-26, 09:28 PM

I bet there shuffinling people around to deal with different issues. Hes a infiltrator guy and maybe has real ideas about it so this is how they deal with it. When it gets back around they go back to dallas or the best guy for the job. It makes sense if there trying not to let the new ideas get stuffy.

Beware the producers chair. Itll bite you in the ass before you sit in it.
