Mark (from Supergamer podcast): "Any idea why you get more women than men?  Why are they drawn to Illyriad?"

James (GM Stormcrow)
"We've got a very welcoming community: it's a very slow-paced game, Illyriad - it'll take you six months to get out of the "tutorial"!  It's quite slow. So we lose a lot of the kinda 'twitch' gamers, you know - people who want basically want to advance very rapidly and kill people.  If you come into the game and you want to form an army and you want to wipe out a newb, it's going to take you 6 months to a year to get to that point.  So it's a very slow-paced game.

And we've got an *awesome* community. I mean *genuinely awesome*. 

It's the only game I've played - and you can try it out for yourself, start an account (it's free) - go into Global Chat where everyone talks, and say "Hi I'm new here, and can anyone give me any advice?" and you will be sent free stuff by everyone.  They'll just start bombarding you until your warehouses overflow with free goods - because that's the kind of community we have. They're very welcoming, they're very nice.  

If you go in there and say "omgwtfbbqpwnage" then they're maybe not so welcoming.  And so it kinda moderates itself:  I mean, it's an ultimate PvP game - that's what's so bizarre about it. You can completely destroy someone, raze their cities and basically start them again as a new account - after 7 days of new player protection it's a free-for-all. And, because of that 'mutually assured destruction', I think the community's really nurturing. If someone does attack a newb for any reason, the whole community will gang up on the guy who did it and force him out of the game: they'll defend the newb.  

There's a very strong moral code going on in Illyriad, which is, y'know, like 'capturing lightning'.  I don't quite know how we did it...  Well... I think our community manager, Luna, has a lot to do with that."

^^ Just wanted to QFT this for posterity.

Awesomeness applied, Luna.  Our thanks, and our best wishes, always and ever.
