The guys over at TenTonHammer scored an exclusive post-launch interview with Mark Jacobs, the man behind the game.
I think it was the smoothest launch in MMO history. For six days there were no crashes. No real emergency patches. No downtime. Not only did the entire game not crash, but no servers even crashed. So for the first six days, things were fabulous. Of course that evening we had two crashes and then two more after that, but that's the only real blemish on the record.
There have been a lot of these interviews the last few weeks, but of course, they each have some tasty nugget of quotation goodness for you to devour.
