GamersInfo has released an interview with some of the Dark Age of Camelot crew involving server clustering, expansions, the new pricing system and why-is-my-Ranger-so-gimp?
Larian: What about the classic classes and lands? With each expansion, they seem less attractive and antiquated.
Matt Firor: Well, with each expansion, the "new" stuff needs to offer something to the player that they can't really get from what is already out there. It's a fact of life you have to deal with if you want to actually sell something. The Team Leads are doing a good job in making sure that overall realm balance is maintained, but we are not planning to do anything monumental to change these classes.
The interview becomes really interesting when you consider, according to someone else who was there, these responses aren't what were actually said.
Matt Firor, for example, did not actually say what is quoted at all.
Meanwhile, and from some text which you can probably take as actually coming from a Mythic employee, the first test of server clustering has hit the Pendragon test server. World to implode when your character from one server meets a same-named character from another server.
And in closing, competition is a wonderful invention. Mr Moneybags Monopoly never had it this good.
Pssst... WoW is really, really, really fun. I canceled immediately. I’m not getting sucked back in to that shit again.
Poor EQ, WoW just flat out kicks its ass as far as I can tell just playing the first few levels.
