Mythic Rips SOE a New One

Posted by Zonk on from the that-would-be-pvp dept.

GameDailyBiz has a statement by Mythic's head honcho Mark Jacobs. The CEO of Dark Age of Camelot's developer takes great exception to the aforementioned EQII auction site. From the article: "I'm disappointed with the decision from a leader in the MMO industry to go down a path which in the past, has been an anathema to them and remains so to just about every other MMORPG company in the industry. I think that not only supporting the sale of in-game characters, items and currency, but also taking a 'cut' of those sales, is not only a mistake but one of the worst decisions in the history of the MMORPG industry..."

    I take issue with the statement:

    "one of the worst decisions in the history of the MMORPG industry..."

    No, I believe that releasing Anarchy Online when they did was one of the worst decisions in the history of the MMORPG industry.
