Sometimes we like to sit back and dream of what it might be like to design an MMO. We'd put together some fiendishly difficult boss battles, or plot some intensely engaging storylines ... or maybe just throw in a ton of Fury jokes. And then we snap out of it and get back to work.Tracy Seamster is a game designer for SOE's The Agency, to which she transitioned after writing for Everquest II for some years. If you've ever wondered what the day-to-day job of a game designer might be like, you can look for the answers in this interview. Covering such topics as finding inspiration, the tools used by a designer, and the particular challenges in writing for an MMO, this interview gives a behind-the-scenes look into one of the industry's more coveted positions.
