[Hal`cyon Sskyler]

Horizons is back in the news at MMORPG.com with this interview with our glorious leader, Rick Simmons:

It's a nice summary of what's happened so far if you're just now back on the bandwagon as well as some hints for the future.

[Peaches]

Yep, an interesting read at that. I, for one, am glad I jumped in head first, to experience Horizons, of which I missed a LOT.

[Kepesk]

Me too! And I find it encouraging that Rick runs Vitrium with his own assets. Less outside influence!

Virtrium LLC is owned by me (Rick Simmons) and is backed through my own personal investments as well as private investment. Prior to working in game development, I spent a number of years working in the petroleum industry doing software development. The petroleum industry is doing quite well and my assets / relationships from those days have placed me a solid position to see Horizons succeed. Virtrium is owned and managed 100% by me - which means we're going to be doing exactly what is best for the future of Horizons

I liked this.

From a game perspective, Unity players are passionate. It's been a while, but they still haven't given up

And this brought me in tears. YES I AM ONE OF THEM!

Great read!

Rick is a leader - I agree
Rick is a Glorious leader - TBA (To be announced)

I have all of my fingers and toes and those of my family, yes i make my kids to do it too. Just to make sure they have all the luck we can possibly give to help them.

Well, all he needs is the [Programmer's Whip Of Beating].

You would think after this interview that MMORPG.com would get the clue and change the company info from EI to Virtrium.

*can only hope for the best*

Fun read.

At least they did an interview.. Stratics still has the notice about account bannings by EI, and that's it. ((this is despite me sending them several emails on news updates.. two of which bounced))
