Ok, we were just discussing how VO got off the ground in another thread, and well, I realised I didn't know WHERE it had come from and I, (and most likely many others) would really like to hear the story of Guild Software, Vendetta and those who went into making it what it is.

So John, Andy or Ray, if youguys ever have any spare time I think we'd all love to have a history of VO and the people who made it from the idea conception onward.

Thanks,
Calder

P.S. If any of the alpha or beta players would like to give a serious, accurate and interesting account of their time, I welcome that too.

I remember reading an interview with John from a while back that detailed some of the background of Guild. Something about Incarnate helping to build one of the major ISPs of USA, and the initial funding and perhaps technical know-how to create VO came from there.

Yes, here it is: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setview/features/loadFeature/34/gameID/154

But t'is only a few sentences on the subject. I'd like to hear more about that as well.

I'll see about writing something up.

Thanks Inc, that would be great. No pressure though. :D Take 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years. However long it takes you to find time and write it.

2 days... nope
2 weeks... nope

/me waits for 2 months or 2 years...

-Calder

[EDIT] What is UP with 2 anyway? Why'd I pick that...
/me goes off into an incoherent on the infiriority of 2

Two can be as bad as one. It's the loneliest number since the number one.

I smell a wikipedia article in the making

lol, bohemian, three dog night. Yeah, I've looked around for the story of Guildsoftware and the devs of VO, but never foiund anything. I'd love to hear how it all began.

I've been really, really busy. I will get to this, honest. But yeah, it may be a few months. It's been on my general "to-do" list for the website.

As long as we get the dirt on Phil and Kalle!

...who?

un-devs

Ok Inc, as I said, take as long as you want to make it good.
/me probably shouldn't have bumped this...

I'll poke it back into existence in 2 moths, and then again in 2 years, so... don't feel like you have to hurry anything. :D

I Love Aimee Mann...

huh inc's writing about the company? like for an annual report? sweet!

so is it a partnership or a sole proprietorship?

It's an S-Corp; we all have ownership. The story.. hmm.

Once, there was this boy who got into an accident and couldn't come to school but when he finally came back his hair had turned from black into bright white. He said that it was from when the cars had smashed soooooo haaarrrrrrd. Mmm mmm mmmm.
