Hi there lovely forumites.
I'm writing an article for a games site (Cane & Rinse) on DAI:MP and the people who still play it. I'd very much like to talk to / interview some of the old stagers, as well as newcomers to get their take on the online playing community, what they (still) like about the game (despite its foibles) and why it is still relatively well-loved and played, given its age.
I'd also like to talk to anyone (hi SilverSmurf!) who knows some of the inside story of how it came to be - was it literally all Luke Barrett? - and the pretty good interactions with players that helped improve it (e.g. adding Heartbreaker).
So... please let me know if anyone is interested in being part of this. Happy to communicate by any means people want to use, email, PSN chat, phone, and people can be quoted by their gamertag, their real name (gasp) or just anonymously, whatever you'd like. Obviously if I can give a little background on who the people are that are still crazy enough to be playing this marvellous game, that would be wonderful.
And yes, I am/was a proper games journalist

[Luka voice] Let me Let me! If you *are* actually interested in "nobodies" pm me too I am in the unusual situation of having played more or less at release, given up because of the bugs, and then subsequently become hooked over the last 18 months.

Thanks both - will be in touch soon. Hope to get a few more people and then send questions. By the way dafyddr that's almost exactly my story too, though I came back 18 months after launch (having played SP through about 6 times).

^ That's cool, I thought I was the only one with such a spread out DAIMP history. And in your quest for quotes, you could directly pm some of the old timers, can't imagine they'd mind. At least for now a lot of people are investigating Anthem. But they'll be back

I'm a relative newbie, I only started playing DAIMP last October so I was super late to the party. I'd played SP for a couple years but couldn't play MP due to crappy internet where I live. Soon as fiber optic was available in my area, I got it and I starting DAIMPing that very same day. I'd been looking forward to it, as I had to wait several weeks for it to be installed. From that point on, I played every single day for months. Well, up until maybe a month ago. Short version is I haven't been feeling very well lately and a whole bunch of other really shitty things happened at the same time and I haven't been around for a bit. I might jump back in within the next few days if I'm up for it. Feel free to ask me anything you want.

Relative newbie too started 2 years ago, playing on and off when ever I have enough time, recently off because Anthem came and I have only time for 2 MP (ok, 2 games) at the same time. Can be PM'd too

Hey thanks everyone who's replied so far! This isn't dead, it's just been *resting* for a few days, as thst damned Offline World has been demanding rather a lot of attention. Will be pinging everyone on this thread (and some of the others I can think of on here) with questions/starting conversations hopefully later this week

Would love to read the result one day. Oh, and if you still need people to interview, PM me. I've been a casual-ish DAI:MP player almost since the beginning (just had to finish Main Story a couple of times, first )

Too bad I missed this I would have participated.
I wrote a series of articles about the NWN Toolset for a magazine way back when.
