    I have a plan. I can't guarantee that I'll be given clearance to follow up on it, though. ;)

    Oh, and let us not forget Hortas on Ice
    and the San Francisco Horta Diving Team

    Hey everyone,

    I'm Archon, and I and wanted to take a few moments to formally introduce myself. I'm the most recently hired Systems Designer for STO.

    A little background: I started working professionally in the MMO industry in 2005; prior to that, I was a raid leader/guild master in games like Dark Age of Camelot, Shadowbane, and WoW. I started at Cryptic as a QA Lead for another project, but I was promoted to Systems Design for STO a few months ago.

    You haven't seen a lot of my work yet - much of it is for upcoming content - but I was one of the people who worked on the DS9 Duty Officer Pack (along with Borticus and Heretic). I made some of the Hamlet DOFFs, too, but that was mostly the other guys.

    In terms of upcoming content I can actually talk about, I'm very heavily involved in designing items at the moment. I implemented most of the loot for the Fleet system, as well as the majority of the Operational Assets, which hopefully you'll be seeing soon. I'll also be continuing to work on the Duty Officer System, as well as dabbling in other systems, such as working on enemies, etc.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, and I'll do my best to try to live up to Heretic's example as an outstanding Systems Designer with a good relationship with the player community.

    See you all in-game and around the forums!

    Glad to have ya.




    On that note what server did you play Dark Age of Camelot on?

    Me:
    Midgard, Iseult. Guilds: Bedlam & Fate
    Hibernia, Galahad. Guilds: Bedlam & Axioms of Life
    Albion, Gawaine. Guilds: Demise & Legion of the Phoenix


    On WoW I played Horde on Zul'jin Server with Bedlam.

    I vote no for horta doffs/boffs. That is a stupid idea and i hope cryptic do not pursue it.
