OG Planet's David Hoffman interviewed

Filed under: Fantasy, Cabal Online, Business models, Culture, Interviews, MMO industry, Making money, Free-to-play, Casual

For those of you who may not be familiar with OGPlanet.com, they are a North American company that brings Asian MMO titles to the US. Among their games are the golfing title Albatross 18, the combat game Rumble Fighter, and Cabal Online, an RPG. This is a particularly good time for overseas imports, as more and more players are beginning to feel the need to look elsewhere for their MMO entertainment other than World of Warcraft.

MMOgamer has an interview up with OGPlanet's executive producer David Hoffman, wherein the topics range from the specifics of OGPlanet titles, to the more general mechanics of running this sort of business. It's a piece worth your time, and offers some insight into the process of adapting Asian games to an American audience.
