FiringSquad: How did the idea for Kaos War come about?

Damon Grow: For years I was talking to my guild about making a game with epic PvE and unreal PvP to put our years of gaming experience to use. I had this beautiful world in my head. I was a philosophy major in college so things like truth and deeper meaning came natural to me and were what led me to Kaos. I wanted to make a game world that had a soul behind it, something special - not orcs and elves. Kaos manifested in my dreams. I dream about demons and angels and the battles of creation. A world filled with ancient dread and humans ascending to their destinies, a path set before them since the beginning of time. These dreams are what lead to Kaos.

Amazing that a single person could come up with a concept for an MMO of this magnitude. Usually games like this are the combined work of several people's ideas coming together to form something larger. But obviously in this case, Damon has single-handedly created a concept for a "AAA MMO" that will be larger then WoW. Just incredible.

I dont believe that Damon implied that he designed the entire game from the ground up including all story arcs, zones, skills, MoBs, and so forth. Damon is our Divining Rod of sorts. We throw things out there and he points toward the ones that fit the bill and tosses the ones that dont. The major arc of the story is dependent on his vision of Kaos War, but it would indeed be wholly amazing if he did EVERYTHING on his own. :P
