Eeeehhhhmmmm ...
anyway, the solution is pretty easy ... you just do not have set questions for every spotlight, but you tailor-make the questions depending on which player is nominated. Smile
 Simple as that ...

Plenty of work for the taylor it would be ... Confused ... thus let there be more taylors Tongue

Thus my suggestion: nominate the man woman, dwarf, dwarferina, orc,... first. Then leave it one week to gather specific questions (best via mail) from the community (I guess even a omnipotent chat god might forget some details on every player there is in Illy...).
Finally do the interview with, well, quite a part of the standart questions plus assorted, community generated special questions.

...you could even confront him with some funny anecdotes told by his mates LOL

I don't know if this might actually turn out in too much work to administer, but might lead into even more participation...

How about:  Is there anything you've done in Illyriad that you regret?  What is it?

or along a similar line ...

What is the biggest "mistake" you've made in Illyriad? And how did you recover from it?

This way our Devs can just choose the question they deem to be apt and Put it forward in an Interview accordingly.

Go for it! I agree, the questions might be getting a little stale. Feel free to suggest some and I will probably pull some out of the thread.

I suggest:  What is the first thing you do when you log on to Illy in the morning?

Also:  If you have one unfulfilled wish for Illyriad, something you think the developers would NEVER do but you wish they would, what is it?

There are a lot of other good ones ...

Blah the questions need re-vamping.  Everyone answers them the same way and you really don't learn about player's personalities.  Work with Beau from Massively or something and come up with questions even I might want to answer.  That is a big MIGHT.  Maybe like questions geared towards each player and what they have contributed. 

Do NOT nominate me people.  These questions are over asked and you learn nothing about the player's personality. I have no interest in this Spotlight stuff unless there is some serious re-vampage and creativity geared towards each player.  Every player is different and these questions make everyone sound the same.  Community makes them stay. Mail system is a pain.  They were searching for a game to play.  They have a RL outside the game. Broken record, broken record.

Rikoo, make this Player Spotlight your baby and get away from Luna's broken record nonsense.  I know you must be creative or you would not have made some of the changes you have and the devs would not have made you Community Manager.  Take the reasons people give you for nominations and gear questions towards that.  Come on show me you have what it takes to make even me, one of the most unwilling players, to want to participate in this.
