From Jumpgate Evolution Wiki
[edit] A Brief History
And I do mean brief
Aeo / Aeon has been playing MMO titles since 1997 (Ultima Online, Napa Shard), the same year he first worked in the computer game industry for Ubisoft. He was once a full time employee of Stratics and helped generate media attention for the original Jumpgate title during its beta. Most recently he ran the Devil's Horde raiding guild on Hellscream in World of Warcraft. If he doesn't see another sword, shield, or set of tier gear for two years that'll be just fine.
[edit] What is this "real life" you speak of?
Outside of the virtual world, he lives just North of San Francisco. Ian has a background in product marketing/management and a degree in advertising strategy. He is a published music producer in downtempo and house. Currently, he is exiled to legal IT while working for the family business. In that capacity he holds an MCSE, along with several other administrative certifications, and spends long days in front of a computer terminal replying to posts in the Jumpgate Forums when things are running smoothly. You can catch him at swanky Bay Area events like "French Tuesdays" (no, not French) or grabbing wine and food down on Belden Alley.
Apparently, he talks about himself in the third person on a Wiki. He'll have to get back to you about that...
[edit] Quoting Others & Quoting Myself
- "If 777 is the number that allows everyone to read, write, and execute, we should close schools and just chmod people."
-- Oksana - "Aeon, the amount of whining in a gaming community is a constant. The only variable is the issue."
-- Sam (The Black Hand) - "Such a tiny gent/ Aeon is his tiny name/ larger words than life"
-- FowlPlayChiken (Haiku Champion) - "Certain MMO core component similarities almost across the board of MMO games made me think a bit btw. [Let's] compare JG to fantasy games:
- Quantar: Fast, nimble, crappy at slugfests = Elves
- Solrain: Traders, jack-of-all-trades, average at everything = Human"
- Oct: War-crazy, big guns, great at bashing heads = Orc
-- Sam (The Black Hand)
- "Black holes should be nerfed. They are to powerful." - Eraser55
- "Way I look at it: JGC = Netdevil infancy years, learning to walk and talk and asking 'why?' alot. Autoassault: Netdevil teenage years, believing they knew better then everyone else and going against common sense for the hell of it without thinking, JGE = Netdevils college years, experimeting with lots of mixed cutural sexual orgys with other games." - Tikigod
