[Skurd]

Have some general knowledge about coding (Java, VB to some extent).
I'm quite creative when it comes to writing and I like coming up with new ideas.

Ideally I'd like to help out in the quest / script writing and terrain construction (not much of a modeler or artist though).

Willing to learn about the basic scripting needs (Mostly in "C" I heard) and associated branches.

Played almost every MMO to date so I have a pretty good understanding of how and what is being done out there.

Also participated in the creation of an MMO from the gound up (nothing technical, it was all the brain work required to make it coherent) so I have a pretty good overview of how things should be structured and such.

[Ninajrr]

Some background in basic scripting
Story/content designer, have worked on design/content for a future console rpg

[Throag]

School formation: Engineer in Computer Sciences (Don't know what is the equivalent in the US, it's 5 years after High school if I'm not mistaken)

I guess I can say skilled in programming although not so experienced (been working for a little more than one year now).
C++ / UI conception / knowledge of 3D mecanisms (learning OpenGL for a few months) and a bunch of over things not directly relevant to MMO developement.
Worked for a year on a commercial 2D title for PSP.

Highly motivated to progress even further, especially working on something as interesting as an MMO
(damn it looks like I'm posting my resume here ><)

Artist / Concept / Photoshop

I like design and writing as well. I have a very vivid imagination. My sketching skills are still in development as I'm in school and I'm no pro or anything. But I can do some stuff.

[Usha Starchild]

I worked in the game industry for 3 years but am far too busy to take a serious part in this project. Most of my experience being on sports titles at EA, a lil SIMS and BOND. I was involved with some UO2 stuff until the project was canceled. I'm seriously busy with my export business now but would love to add ideas here and there though.

[Hatorade]

All about the level design I can make some badass maps dungeons whatever.

Non published game mechanic design. For table top games and Larp games (yes I'm that big of a nerd). I've helped work on and/or designed combat and game mechanic systems for a few table top games (none published...yet) and a few larp systems.

I've done a fair amount of World design, setting work, fleshing out settings, metaphysics for game worlds. Basically I am pretty good at using in game lore-ish explanations to make a system work, filling the world with factions, groups, monster types, cultural bullshit and all the fluff that makes a game world come alive. I've done it for a few settings for tabletop games (not just campaigns but games period) and a few larp games. It sounds nerdy as fuck, but our larp games get up to 100 players per month shelling out 40 bucks each.

[Vinen]

BS in Computer Science, pursuing Masters shortly

Pretty much a given I've been playing games for years, never worked on anything game related more then a World Editor (Group project Junior year of College).

I've DMed multiple DnD, BESM and Shadowrun campaigns over the past few years.

Most of my current experience is in QA (I am currently a QA Lead for the back end of a project which involves mainly Security, Performance and Scalability testing)

But, I can also offer C+/C# programming experience.

Most interested in
- Dungeon Design / Population
- Class Design / Balance
- Infrastructure Related QA (Security, Performance, Scalability)

[Stil]

I'm pretty busy right now, but I'll keep checking in and if inspired can help out.

Been working for 4 years as an algorithm designer/dev in a MS house, so I literally dream in .NET.

BS and MS in CS.

MMO Experience consists of too much EQ (release to GoD), DAoC (about a year), Shadowbane (4 months or so), CoH (1 tanker to 50), WoW before BC, and most 2 week trials.

Currently I don't MMO- too much work. Because of this I probably won't be as involved in discussion, but it seemed like there was a definite lack of professional dev presence here so I figured I'd at least voice some interest if not commitment.
