The Neverwinter Online Crossroads Show Episode 2 is ready for download!

I was joined by special guest host Deathsickle for what is quite possibly the most extensive interview done yet on Neverwinter Online. Our very special interview stars Lead Producer Andy Velasquez and Senior Environment Artist Crypticmapolis, with a surprise cameo by Cryptic COO (Chief Operating Officer) Craig Zinkievich!

We had a blast interviewing not one, not two, but three very important members of the Cryptic team. As Deathsickle stated after the interview "that was sooooo epic!", so don't miss it!!

Our Guests:

    It was a 2 hour interview, but with editing/post production, it weighted in at 1 hour, 44 minutes :)

    Will there be a transcript? I don't know why, but for some reason the download doesn't want to finish for me. It gets about half way and stops. I have tryed twice already, a third time trying right now.

    Was looking forward to it. Downloading it now.

    Hope you asked some real questions unlike the "Miss World" questions which they are usually used to answering.

    I'm working on a second edit, which raises Andy's vocals. Unfortunately, it was recorded in a single track so its very difficult to edit as multiple people talk at once throughout the podcast. If I feel I can get it better than the copy I posted here, I'll release it asap.

    Was nice. "Shard of Night" was a good news to me. I will go and get it back for Selune.

    well aside from the volume issues and a few rough edit spots, I think you've come a long way from your first show, well done man.

    Ok, re-editing is going to going well.. I think its safe to say I'll be uploading my final edit sometime tonight/tomorrow morning.

    I'm sorry to those who had problems, I was as excited as some of you were to get the show out, but I'm listening to the feedback and I want to get you the very best recording I can with the technology I have.

    Great Job! Some very nice questions, awesome to have Cryptic opening up and talking to the community. As a forum member dating back to the beginning - It was really nice to see this podcast.

    Just one thing Andre . . . Mic OFF when someone else is talking please!!!!! I think I heard a bong hit in there. ;P

    LOL! No bong, I dont do drugs. However, my mic is too good. Future podcasts will have the mic issues under control, and will be recorded in multiple tracks ;) Thanks for the props - and apologies for the open mic!! Lesson learned. :)

    I loved the questions and I am very happy with the level of answers you got.

    They really opened up the gates and it's great to see. Of course there's still a few things left to be answered but I think that PodCast has had as much new information released as we got in the last two months combined...

    And while there's no huge news releases (I wasn't expecting any) a lot of questions I have seen on the forums for months now have finally been answered. Thank you so much Andy, Mapolis and Craig!
    This means a lot more to us than I think you could imagine and it's very much appreciated.
