I don't see how it makes a difference whether it says $100 or 10,000 next to the nation's name in the ranks list... to me 10,000 is a bit better because it's more impressive sounding, and doesn't break the fictional reality by bringing in real-life currency "$".

Hi! I worked primarily on user interface and tools. I designed the user interface primitives, programmed the character creation process and many of the panels, inventory system, readabe books, chat, etc. I worked closely with Chris Foster (UI designer) and Zach Shukan (UI artist). I also created several tools that were used internally, such as a "Dungeon Creator" that allowed designers to make dungeons by placing pre-made tiles on a grid map, and a "palette editor" that made it easy for artists to create different colored variations of the same clothes, armor, etc.

Please feel free to ask questions about AC or anything else. This is an AMA.

I was greatly saddened to hear about your passing, Asheron. I want you to know I had nothing to do with it, and if I could keep you alive I gladly would have!

None, at this point... until the game is released, there's no way to tell what any stake in it would be worth. 10k could end up being way too much or too little for any size stake. Ask me again in 6 months and I might have a firmer answer :)
