Gamasutra has an excellent interview up with a cheap wow gold company called Red 5 Studios. Their CEO, Mark Kern, served as a former team lead on World of Warcraft (though it's been a while -- since a little less than a year after the game's launch), so WoW fans (and Blizzard themselves) are curious about what the studio is up to. Unfortunately, they're staying vague at this point -- while they are definitely working on some kind of fantasy MMO, they're not exactly forthcoming about what it'll be.
Formed by ex-Blizzard and World of Warcraft alums in 2005, Red 5 Studios has spent the past three years working on a massive multiplayer online game that's so far been kept completely shrouded, without a single screenshot or even its title released to the public.
As speculation continues to grow over whether or not Red 5 will ever come cheap wow gold out of "stealth mode," the studio recently announced a surprise shuffle in management -- former president and CEO Mark Kern, who served as WoW's team lead while at Blizzard, stepped down from his positions and is now Red 5's Board chairman and chief creative officer.
Michael Weingartner, previously the company's Engineering VP, took over as president and CEO. He joined the company in March of this year, his r¨¦sum¨¦ including executive positions at Oracle, HP, and Talking Blocks.
Kern and Weingartner recently talked with Gamasutra about their new roles, the company's cheap wow gold global plans, and the advantages and challenges of using a microtransactions-based revenue model.
Could you talk about what led to Red 5's recent changes in management?
Michael Weingartner: Well, more and more, as the company grew, we got into what I would call an operational phase, where we're really focused on production and planning across the team for a production schedule.
