Horizons Interview

GameSpy has conducted an interview with Artifact Entertainment’s David Bowman about their upcoming MMORPG, Horizons. Here’s a bit of what to expect:

Q: Now Horizons is a massively multiplayer game. A fantasy MMORPG, there’s a lot of competition for that right now …

A: This is a traditional high-fantasy product. And I kinda disagree with people when they say that. Some people would have you believe that the market is saturated with MMORPGs right now. I argue that it’s just at its infancy. As more people are exposed to it and become aware of the benefits of it. I mean $12.95, or $11.95 per month; some people don’t see the value in that. As more people start to understand that you’ve got 24/7 availability and a really interesting, growing, experience, they see the value of that much more clearly. I mean, it’s the same as two movies, or one movie and popcorn. As more people become aware of the value the market will grow.
