Mythic Rips SOE a New One

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 22, 2005 @04:19PM 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..."

SOE will have bigger plans... by dhakbar · 2005-04-22 16:30 · Score: 5, Insightful

SOE is always looking for a bigger slice of the pie. If they can be hypocritical enough to open a sanctioned auction site after years of banning players for auctioning things off in their games, they will do anything. Be prepared for a whole new breed of micropayment based MMORPGs.

Would you like to loot this UberSword of Might +7? That will be $0.10, tyvm.
