Quote:Yeah, that'd be Sirian all right. Although I think what he did was well more than just flame; the man has some serious ideas about game design, and it seems probable that the WoW PvE servers are the way they are partly on the basis of those old arguments.I think Sirian was hired on, or did some contract work with, Civ IV for Firaxis. I'd say that was a good idea, what with some of his excellent ideas on balance and challenge for Civ III.
He's still around, one of the doyens over at Realms Beyond, running the Civilization 4 epics, and generally having a good time. Not on board with WoW, though.
