What questions would you ask Raph Koster?

Tiveria

Sheeptastic!
I'm working on an interview for Stratics, and it's with Raph Koster.

I won't say I'll promise to include your questions, but I'd like to see what you would ask him.
 
What the [explicative] did he leave and allow the [explicative] that has befallen SWG?!?!?!
 
Awesome fucking shit,

Ask him:

"What will it take in an MMO to knock World of Warcraft off the top spot?

and

"What does he feel about the ever increasing marketing lead game content in MMO's?

w00t, Please ask one of mine, hes the best guy ever.

Not that you can really comment, but was he let go by SOE or did he move on?
 
"How much would it take to get you to set foot back inside framework of SWG long enough to dope-slap the hell out of Smedley and Torres both? Reallly. How much?"

Actually, just ask him this, since he's moved on enough: "Whose fault is it really? (re: SWG) What went wrong?"

Considering he's likely only going to take questions on his current project and this SWG stuff will never see the light of day, if he gives you any guff about asking, tell him the industry needs to learn from and own up to its mistakes. By owning up, I mean taking ownership of problems and apologizing for them.

I don't work for SOE, and I don't think I am high enough in any organisation to find out a decision like that.

In my opinion he moved on.
 
Ask him, what's his favorite color? :D

But fer reals, Does he plans to work on another MMO, if he does, which one? (I'll prepare myself to jump to that game. It doesn't matter if it's Disney.... Oh no! I said the D word. :blink: )

Just invite him here, we'll make him an honorary 'homie. :)

Yeah, Oh Great 'homie! ^_^
 
I would ask him what really happened to SWG. I wouldn't want the BS answers either. I'd want to know who is precisely to blame for certain actions and choices/changes made.

From what I got (and this is kind of a sneak peak) by the time that was going down, he wasn't really a part of SWG.

I DID ask why he left SWG...
