It's also nice that most of the people he's talking to are able to be honest without having to worry about repercussions for telling the truth.
These videos have been excellent. Great to see some inside information and hear from some of the key people from over the years. I highly recommend if you haven't seen. Jenn gave something like 2.5 hours of her time to chat one day. I am sure she is wicked busy, so that was greatly appreciated.
Dito ! Revamped zones should never had happened as they destroyed so much memories and immersion to early players. Original freeport (NFP) could be visited by a clickable picture of Tassel's Tavern that is the reward of collecting all the human heritage crate pictures. Does anybody on AB got this one placed in his open house ?
can also visit old freeport with the jade tiger familiar and when you walk into the jade tiger inn in freeport it will zone you over to the old freeport for about 10min

Really, really wish I could edit older posts. Shawn has updated his Twitch profile to reflect his username on other platforms, it's now simply alovingrobot https://www.twitch.tv/alovingrobot
I think you can ask Dreamweaver to edit your original post (title and link) if you PM him. Also, I wouldn't think a new thread would be harmful either.
While the servers are down, Shawn's having a bit of a round table with some previous guests, he's currently live chatting with; Bill Fisher (Daglar) Doug Cronkhite (Elidroth) Todd Schmidt (Hobart) Grab a coffee and come argue about the correct pronunciation of Luclin https://www.twitch.tv/alovingrobot
Another interesting guest spot coming this Saturday; Jonathan Caraker / Prathun Saturday, Sept 19th 11am PST Former EQ Designer & Lead Game Designer (2002-2020); Game Designer, Blizzard Entertainment
Really looking forwards to this one, also can't wait for him to get John Smedley on and Absor needs to get on there too I would really love to hear his take on so many things. Absor Smash!
Really enjoyed the chat with Prathun tonight. Always good to get insite into how things work, or what someone designed. I've always loved the rogue epic and thought they were very well done, interesting to find out it was a quest Prathun designed. Hoping Lovingrobot has another chat with him soon. We still have 9 years of working on EQ to go!
I wonder what Shawn thinks about a Swedish company purchasing Daybreak since he is an American in Sweden.
