    GameSpot has obtained the fourth issue of Dungeons & Dragons Online from Ken Brown who holds the exotic title of Associate Worldbuilder. It treats about building the city brick by brick. Here's an excerpt:

    I'd like to let you know a little bit of what it took to bring Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach to life. Passing through many hands, the city of Stormreach--its ultimate in-game look, feel, and atmosphere--became my main responsibility. In time, I became the main "city guy." I hope I can shed some light on how this city came to be.

    The Turbine artists are constantly pushing for higher standards and raising the bar wherever and whenever they are given the chance. So when the Stormreach market was undergoing its third (or fourth) overhaul, we said, "That's enough." We then sat down and made a concentrated effort to come up with a plan to whip Stormreach into shape based on what we learned in all the previous attempts. Eventually I was told, "OK, go take a section of land and see what happens based on our new plan." I won't lie: I had never done something like this before. It was no small undertaking, and, honestly, the task seemed too big for my inexperienced hands. Even now it seems a little insane to me. "This is impossible," crossed my lips more than once. Maybe that's why I loved it.

    Read the rest at GameSpot.
