The 8Realms Q&A forum thread stands at nearly 100 posts already, but there's still time to contribute questions. Maybe you've been taking part in the Closed Beta and want to know more about a specific game feature, or maybe you're more generally interested in where the game is heading - anything goes! We'll be closing the thread at 23:59 BST tonight, to give Mods Kimau and ThatJim time to prepare responses.
We want to get the podcast out to you as quickly as possible, so we've changed our plans slightly and decided to stick to an audio-only podcast this time. Sorry to disappoint anyone hoping to put faces to the Mod names behind 8Realms; for the time being you’ll just have to take our word for it that Mods Kimau and ThatJim aren’t futuristic cyborgs (though this would explain how they know what to put into the Future Age). We might be able to look at doing a video podcast in the future, so watch this space.
Now head over to the Q&A thread and ask your questions! We're enjoying reading your posts as they come in, and we’re looking forward to being able to answer them in our first ever 8Realms podcast. :-)
