Echoes of the Kingdom:
WoMo Lives Unveiled
#001

Greetings to our Monarch. How are you doing today?

Greetings Duncan! I am doing just fine. How are you doing?

I am doing wonderful, thank you for asking. As you know, we are going to ask you some questions today. Are you ready to answer them for us?

Absolutely! I am all ready!

Wonderful then! Here comes the first question. How was it when you first came in? What were your first impressions and how do you feel now?

I remember the first time logging into site was when we were at staff launch stage, the site looked very different then as we were still playing about with colours and coding, at one stage we were blue, at another we were purple, then we settled on the colour pallette we have now.

When everything was ready and we were waiting on launch, I just felt anxious, I wanted everyone to be happy with the site, and hoped that those that had invested both time and money into the site felt that it lived up to their expectations, and I guess I now hope they've enjoyed that journey.

I am sure everyone who joined womo has only had nice memories to go on with. Here comes the second question.. How has being part of this community impacted you personally or creatively?

I'm something of an empath and have always aimed to make people happy and enjoy WoMo as it's not my site, it's our site. I guess the biggest lesson I've learnt and how it's impacted me is that it's impossible to please everyone, you can try, but it's not always possible, and you have to go with the majority. Another great thing is that I've managed to get to know, become closer to so many incredible people.

That is such a valuable lesson that everyone needs to learn in their life. The only person who one should truly please is themselves. Being content with yourself is very important. Now what are some of the most creative or unique characters you encountered from other players?

That's really difficult question, I think if I think about unique character, complex backstories I have to say people like Ezekiel Valzue, Iain Ros, Jaqueta Palencia, Allina Fairbairn and Eleseo Cespades. I know there's bound to be people I've missed but those people always stood out.

I am glad to see my father mentioned for this. Now what are some of your favourite memories from your time in the academy?

The last plot was a lot of fun to read, and the countless awards we've had. I guess my all time favourite memory was launch day, so much excitement, actually seeing all the hardwork people had put in actually come to fruitution and the feedback we received was phenominal.

Were there any in-game events or holidays that became community traditions over time?

So many people have come and gone on site that they all brought unique traditions, the May Day Event was lots of fun!

Last question for today, what’s been the most surprising plot twist or development in your character’s journey?

Being such a romantic at heart in real life, I guess it's more of a personal plot twist, but never having had her marry was a really difficult thing for me personally, because I love writing about love. I think in the early days Ava was a little naive and lately she's made some unpopular decisions to help her people when they may not see it at the time.

That indeed is a plot twist, Ava! Thank you so much for your time, it was much appreciated.
