I have to chime in on this one. Scott Jennings has posted Matt Firor’s recollections from DAOC’s launch day. It was ten years ago. Crazy how time flies while at the same time making no sense… it’s crazy to think at 2001 was ten years ago when it feels like yesterday. Read Matt’s story. It’s [...]

Mark Jacobs’ Return (Sound the trumpets!)
October 3rd, 2011

I should have commented on this way sooner — busy, remember? Mark Jacobs, the guy very much responsible for a great deal of Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer Online has resurfaced in the gaming industry. Once again at the reigns of his own company (City State Entertainment), it looks like the ever-personable fellow has, [...]

I’ve given up trying to keep track of what to call them these days. It’s not Mythic Entertainment, EA Mythic, or EA Bioware-Mythic.. I guess it’s just “Bioware” now that handles the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning brand. Whoever they are, they announced Warhammer Wrath of Heroes at Gamescom. It’s part of EA’s Play4Free push.

I’m not going to comment much on this story about the supposed EA employee identifying why WAR failed. Whether or not it’s true doesn’t matter.

Since a lot of my friends are giving Warhammer Online’s “come back and play for 14 days free” offer a try, I decided that I would as well. Why would I want to try it again? a) All I ever see from the fans of WAR are statements about how the game has changed so [...]
Not all MMO’s have to be McMMO’s

I’m reading this more and more about how certain mechanics in a MMO won’t work or how a certain type of game wouldn’t work today because it wouldn’t attract large number of players. “That would be a niche game and just wouldn’t work”. In yesterday’s entry smthin comments exactly how I feel. “It is hilarious [...]
What Dark Age of Camelot Means To Me

I watched this video (please watch at least the first three people) of Mythic employees talking about why Dark Age of Camelot was special to them or what the game meant to them and I wanted to weigh in as well. I want to echo a lot of what Jason Abbott and Craig Turner said [...]
