Positron Interview at Massively

The death of Statesman: best feature of Issue 22, hur, hur!

Addressing the death of Statesman and its implications for the game, Matt "Positron" Miller sat down with Massively.com for an interview. Among other things, it's revealed he won't be coming back (as already reported on this blog) and won't be removed from marketing materials, though he will be removed from the game.

I think you could remove Statesman from the marketing materials, replace him with just about anyone else, and it wouldn't be a big deal at all. Some potential replacements, such as Back Alley Brawler or Manticore are much cooler looking and might even be an improvement over the Face-Plated-One. But they are under the impression that Statesman is somehow a big draw for people to the game (I know, I find that hard to believe, too) so he'll be staying on marketing materials in all his dated, uninteresting glory.
