What was your first MMOG? What was your favorite?

I played text MUDs, one in particular was Tiny MUD at the University of Michigan. I got deeply involved in creating content for that MUD, and was upset when it was shut down without warning. I played WoW to 60 back when that was the cap. Of course my favorite is Rift!

How did you end up at Trion and how long have you worked there?
A friend of mine that I had worked with in the past was at Trion and when the position came open he gave me a call. Once I saw what Trion were attempting to do I was sold. That was a little over 2 years ago.

This week we got to talk with Nicholas McDowell, a/k/a/ captaincursor, the notorious Lore Lead for the Guardians. You might not know this about him but he has an awesome girlfriend and a love for chinese food! Keep reading to find out more.
