I think the question for "What it takes to be one" is "how much experience do i have to have"?

I know on their application site that a lot of the programmers are "Sr" positions and require previous MMO experience, which isn't all that uncommon now I suppose... since MMOs have been going strong for what, 8 or 10 years now?

I graduate with my BS this fall, and I know I'd love the opportunity to even see how it all works. I know it's not everyone cackling in a corner on how they can mess up the game, nor is it that anyone is incompotent, merely that the game is ultra complex in how it works (object oriented game on a top of OO language, i'm sure). I suppose it's just a dream though, because I simply don't have that kind of experience...

I suppose if they are looking for intern or Jr positions you should be able to get in. Those I would see as mainly bug fixers, and not too much heavy feature developing, those are usually left for the Sr positions.

If you are serious about working for them I would send my resume in wether they are hiring or not, because sometimes they are going to look and here comes your resume, you usually have a good chance of being contacted. The is howI got one job, right place at the right time. It was the day after everyone walked out and they were going nuts. I walked in and asked if they were hiring, the boss came out, asked me a few questions and said your hired, your desk is back here.
