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. Nice interview by antivoid · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not a bad interview...

    I havent *actually *listened** to RFZ, but have heard it is relatively good...

    I enjoyed the matrix movies, as well as the matrix music and so on that goes worth it.

    I wander when the time will come that radio streams will overtake traditional FM radio in lister quantity... Can it happen?

  2. 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).

  3. FM by HarveyBirdman · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I gave up on FM long ago. The self-important, annoying dumbass DJs just became too much. Oh, gee, the DJ just implied that at some time in his distant past he might have though about "toking a doob". Wow. What a fucking rebel! Ooo! He just made a joke implying Bush is a big dummy. Wow. What a fucking radical!

    Just spin another corporate record, monkey-boy. And know that the ability of talking your blather over a song just until the vocals start is the most useless skill known to humanity.

    Well, back to my MP3 harvesting.

  4. This isn't anything new or revolutionary. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.
