"how can we make it hard for players to be good?"
same old
PM cant get himself to play for very long as a female character
well okay this might be new:
Apparently if you play as a female hero, people will come and chat you up..
Also which sex you choose doesnt limit the clothes you can wear, so if you as a male want to wear a dress - you do on ahead and do just that! and of course ppl will comment you on that.
lastly he talks about how the you will affect the land of Albion, like regions and cities.
The interview ends with talk about how PM wanted to make coop a full RPG coop, and also instant in and out coop.
