Mar 25th
On the 17th of March 2010 Karen and I sat down with Todd Harris, the Executive Producer of Hi-Rez studio’s Global Agenda, and chatted with him about his exciting product and how important community was for it. Todd was an exceptional guest and gave us a whole lot to think about. Take some time and listen to his answers about Global Agenda and MMOs!

View From the Top Episode 8 – Kiara
Mar 17th
It is tough to follow an episode as great as episode seven but I think Karen and I achieved it! I’m pleased to bring you episode eight, Kiara! In this episode Karen and Christy gang up on me and make me feel tiny (even though I’m totally bigger than them)! I wasn’t allowed to play any games during the show or talk about how awesome gnolls are! Kiara even has a death touch! Watch out! Enjoy this extra large episode that focuses on community, guilds, and EverQuest 2!
Show Notes
- Who is this Kiara person? Her kitties don’t seem to know! More >

Show Notes
- Ferrel we hardly knew you and we will miss you! Please someone, find Ferrel!

View from the Top Episode 7 Side A – Psychochild
Mar 2nd
In an interview that turned out to be just too big for one episode Karen and I took some time to sit down with Brian “Psychochild” Green. Brian has been a developer and designer for quite some time now but does not think himself as a “granddaddy of MMOs.” As a long time fan of his writing on Psychochild’s Blog I was thrilled to have the opportunity to talk about issues such as guilds, communities and MMORPGs in general with Brian. Don’t miss episode 7 Side A and B!

Karen and I have been so excited lately to bring you more episodes of a View from the Top we’ve just been rocking them out! On episode 6 we have everyone’s favorite altaholic Stargrace and the show came out beautifully. In one of our most interesting interviews yet we pinned down our Canadian friend and asked her about everything from writing to MMOs to guilds and she really delivered. Won’t you take a moment to listen to what she has to say? I promise it will be worth it!

A View from the Top – Episode 4

Karen and I are back in the saddle and getting shows recorded as quickly as life allows! This week on A View from the Top we had the opportunity to sit down with Vaellen, a former EverQuest raid guild officer and current World of Warcraft guild administrator, and batter him with questions about how he leads. The interview came out quite well and Karen really did an exceptional job of looking at the differences between leading in EQ1 and WoW.

It has been quite some time since an episode of “A View from the Top” has been posted and I’m glad to have the opportunity to do so! A lot has changed since the last time.

Topics:
-Introductions about what we’ve been up to as of late. We discuss our characters, guilds and the general activities that keep us entertained.
