    I went to the akoha page, read their "about us" page and a few posts on their blog, but I'm still not sure what they do. It seems like they are developing a new MMORPG with more social/functional aspects. Is that the basic gist of it, or is this a top-secret project?

    Hi Bill,

    The project is still in 'private' mode where we aren't disclosing the full details.

    What we are able to say right now is that it is a social game that involves both online & offline game play.

    There is a strong social & cause related aspect to our project as well.

    Hope this helps.

    I agree with RPO it would be helpful to know at least in vague terms what it is they want to achieve. What is it that they are getting excited to accomplish?

    Hi RPO & Teamwork,

    The company itself is working on the question "What if playing a game could actually make the world a better place?"

    It's a big idea, with a lot of room for different types of games & approaches to building a product.

    The specific role for this person would be to help us build a happy, healthy and growing community of players. Part evangelist, part community support & part community/social media marketing.

    Akoha will be successful based on accomplishing financial goals (revenue & profits), market growth (number of players, player activity & viral adoption rates) and social goals (can we demonstrate that our players & game are creating real world benefit that is making the world a better place).

    Hope this helps.

    Holy Moly! Can't wait to find out more about this very interesting and intriguing sounding game - especially if it makes the world a better place!! Does it have to do with privatizing every governmental entity, you know - the IRS, the Post Office, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FDA, CDC, NIH, NEA, etc?

    That would be such an amazing job! Unfortunately, I'm already spoken for (job wise) so I can't take it. So Akoha is like a new social network? I'll have to do more research in to it.
