A new reign begins on the GW Amp site today. A new herald of the Site Manager title has been chosen and his name is Wyat_Hawke.
For those unaware, outstanding staffer/member Kanna recently stepped down as Site Manager for the site. In his departure, a new SM was sought to fill in the void. Kanna will be missed as staffer but I am pretty sure he isn't completely leaving the site. I would like to be one of the first to thank him for his time and effort he placed into the site on a daily basis. Also please give congratulations to Wyat in his new position for the site.
With Wyat taking over as SM, we are considering opening up to take on new staffers. Stay tuned for news on seeking out site assistance. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact Wyat or myself.
Stay tuned to Gameamp.com for more news on Guild Wars.

Original Questions by Meredias
Edited by Drucila
Recently I was lucky enough to have correspondence with the team over at The Chronicles of Spellborn. They have agreed to do a short and sweet set of interviews. First on the hot seat is Chris Nengerman, lead game designer!
Chris has been working on Chronicles of Spellborn for the past two years with his small staff of about 50 developers, but still has a love for the game as if he started yesterday! He says its still rewarding each day to see all the hard work he and his team does come together.
| QUOTE | | When you start on a large project like this, there is always a truckload of good ideas. Seeing these ideas take shape into something that can actually be played and that people are having fun with playing, is a very thrilling experience. |
Nengerman also says that even though the mystery might not be there he still enjoys playing and that the difficulty and aspect of "fun" are still there because of the game mechanics. As lead developer he even gets himself PWND in PvP every so often! HA!
Anyway, for more of Meredias' interview check out Nengerman Interview

Ampy Biography Contest
Who is your main character? Ampy wants to know. I thought it would be a fun Idea to have a little biography contest to see what you Ampers can come up with. Ampy wants you to write an autobiography for your character letting us know who they are from the point of view of your character. We are looking for edgy stories of how your characters came to be and why they chose to be either good or evil. If they have powers how they got them (where they born with them or were they gained from another means) and how do they use them (for good or evil). Did some dramatic event make them choose to go to the dark side or stand in the light? We want to know.
Prizes: Along with the 25pt credit, you will receive for your entry you will also get:
Grand Prize: Free Tee-shirt from the Gameamp Shop and 200pts Credit
Second Place 150pts Credit
Third Place: 100pts Credit

MMORPG.com has recently published the first of many in a new series of dev journals written by the Lead Game Designer: Chris Nengerman. Nengerman talks about the challenges of creating instanced dungeons.
One of the more interesting parts of this is that the areas lore is separate from the main storyline, and thus making the quests like a mystery story in the game.
-Note to self- Don't play in the dark at night alone.
You can read the article here.

In the new Q&A TTH's Micajah talks with TCoS's Marco on a number of different subjects from making our characters to release dates to skill usage in a very informative interview.
An interesting note is that you will need different weapons to use different skills, eg: a slash skill will need a sword-like weapon.
Check it out here.
