Yesterday an interview with Nick was posted on RadioSEGA, and I found this bit to be quite interesting:
RS: Are you and your team ever online playing with us, mere mortals? Which names should we look for?
Nick: You'll see some dev names pop up from time to time (I'm 'Nick') but if we're playing for fun we use secret characters. there's even a super secret guild of Three Rings players out there but I obviously can't say who!
