Horizons Developer Q&A

HomeLan Fed had the opportunity to conduct a Q&A with Artifact Entertainment's Steve Escalante about their upcoming MMORPG, Horizons. As usual, here's a snippet:

Q: There are admittedly a ton of massively multiplayer RPGs due for release in the next year. Do you feel Horizons will be able to stand out from this rather large crowd?

A: Absolutely. Horizons is truly a next generation MMORPG. This will be demonstrated in many ways beyond graphic accomplishments. The features Horizons is launching with are very competitive; combat, crafting and community building are all executed extremely well and no one has offered the ability to shape the world that Horizons offers. The depth that has been created with the tradeskill system and players ability to improve upon their own plot of land real-time allows players to make their mark on the world like they never have been able to do before. Our design ties these systems in with our combat game play systems very well. This is a major accomplishment in how MMORPGs will be played.
