Arclegger! That's a pretty similar story to how Higby got into development.

Hmm... Hey guys! What would happen if I quit school and came asking for a QA job?

I think a lot of us are thinking about it. Probably comes down to who has the balls to actually follow through.

I do have a cousin in Sand Diego I might could stay with, hmmm...

Oh, and great interview Adam.

Yeah when I heard Higby's story it sounded exactly like my situation until he drove to San Diego and got a job.

I'm wondering if this is a sign... and Higby's my strategy guide.

This week we feature some of SOE’s finest “home-grown” developers that have followed their hearts and found the path that took them from SOE Customer Service and Quality Assurance to the PlanetSide 2 game design team.

HAHAHA NO MAX SPOTLIGHT FOR YOU! HAHAHA

Okay: Why dont you pull a Higby and get yourself a beard? Devs with beard are clearly more dedicated to the game, as they dont waste time to shave.

ringring · 2012-04-10, 02:54 PM

Ok, non beta question coming up!

When is alpha going to end?
