Interview With Sundog of Radio Free Zion

Posted by Hemos on from the fluffers-for-the-game dept.

RosethornKB writes "KillerBetties.com has an interview with Sundog of Radio Free Zion, an internet broadcast whose purpose is to entertain players of The Matrix Online and will broadcast live events when the game goes live. From the article: "Rosethorn: How will you manage multiple server coverage? Sundog: We are trying to develop enough of a following in beta to allow us to support a different stream for each server, with its own DJs and coverage. So far, the community has been wonderfully supportive of what we are trying to do and hopefully that will translate into the right numbers to allow us to expand that much when the game goes fully live this spring.""

  1. City of Heroes did that already by Walkiry · · Score: 4, Informative

    Justice Radio has been doing pretty much the same in City of Heroes, specifically for the Justice server (funny that).

    MMOG's have had radio stations dating back to the heyday of Ultima Online.

    Gridstream Productions of Anarchy Online (www.gridstream.org) is by far the biggest and most successful MMOG radio station out there. Daily live DJ parties, constant music, and special events on the weekends... you name it, GSP has done it. Pretty much everyone who's played AO for longer than 2-3 months has heard of GSP or is an active listener. GSP has crashed entire zones of the world with thier parties. They take care of the musical genre problem by having a variety of DJ's who all have slightly different musical tastes. If you don't like the music one night, tune in another to see if you like the music then.

    NATO countries used to point antennas into the Eastern Bloc to broadcast non-state media. This was known as Radio Free Europe.

    Um, just because he is president doesn't mean I have to like him, anymore than I am forced to like my boss or employer.

    Luckily, I have a lot more choice when it comes to getting a job than getting elected, so I happen to enjoy and respect the people making at least some of the decisions touching my life.
