Realmers,
You know him as one of our Future Seekers but you may have encountered many of his creations in-game. Meet Nazoado.
Nationality and Age?
I’m half Japanese, half Korean born in Japan. I’m twenty-seven years old.
What is your day job? Tell us about it.
I work in a warehouse. We sell architectural hardware like door handles, laundry poles, metal pipes, and others. Before I got my job, I had no strength. But by carrying heavy stuff, I got physically strong.
Any hidden talents or hobbies?
I like to mimic voices. For example, Orochimaru in Naruto. I can also mimic Wizard in RotMG.
How and when did you start playing RotMG?
I started playing Realm of the Mad God in August 2010 (Public Beta).
One day, I was in a paint chat to talk with random people. And I was told to play Realm of the Mad God. At that time, I was a beginner and unskilled. So I died many times. But I was so interested in playing this game that I never quit.
What are your favorite Class, Dungeon and Item?
My favorite class and item are Knight, with Crystal Shield. Generally, when playing RotMG, we need to dodge almost all of the shots. But if we use a crystal shield, we don’t have to worry about that. If I sit on enemies it’s not a problem. Crystal shield makes the game strange and funny. My favorite dungeon is The Shatters. I think this dungeon is the most difficult dungeon in RotMG at this time. Any players die easily and feel a thrill. That is why I like The Shatters.
What is your favorite Skin?
I like Lizardman Warrior Skin. Because it looks like a chicken and cute when the skin is dyed with white main dye and red accessory dye.
What other games do you play?
I’ve played a lot of console games since I was so young. And I especially like Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. In this game, you can sail the ocean, explore islands and solve the riddle. I still remember I got stuck in the puzzle and spent many days trying to solve it.
After I became an adult, I played The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a lot. This game is an open-world action RPG. The player can live in a fantasy world as an adventurer. The good points of this game, are that there are a ton of MODs (MOD : program that modifies the game). And you can have fun again by applying MODs even though you finish the story. So I have played this game every day for 3 months.
Any other games I like are League of Legends, Minecraft, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Heroes of Hammerwatch, 7days to die.
What makes RotMG unique?
This game looks like RPG. But can operate characters simply like shooting game.
What are the things you love the most in the game?
I like permadeath. Because permadeath makes the game scarier. And by daring to get in danger, I get excited.
What would you change?
Guild system. We have a guild in the game. But with the advent of Discord, most veteran players use their guild just to talk with Guill and take pots. So there’s no feature for players who have played RotMG for many years. I often say to my guildies that I wish we could give features to guild halls by paying guild fame. Like guild vaults, decorate with some pieces of furniture, and some boosts for guildies.
How did you become an artist?
I like animals and monsters. But before I became an artist, almost all of skins in RotMG were human. So I drew Wicked Dragon Skin. And after a while, Decagames hosts Art Contest Event in 2018 so I submitted my skin and I won. Then I got to join the Future Seekers as an artist.
How do you see the game in 10 years?
I cannot imagine how this game will be going in 10 years, But at least, graphics of this game will be improved, as some animated skins will be provided and some smooth animations will be added on bosses.
