When Warhammer not being a huge success is a good thing?

When they start hiring for the DAOC team again =)

Overall Jeff's presentation was a good one. It was afterwards though that I got the chance to pressure him about Dark Age of Camelot. Many players remember DAOC as having the best PvP experience in the online game space. It is often referenced as the prime model for PvP, oddly enough no one has captured its format again. The key to DAOC was that three factions, Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia were all fighting it out for control. Mythic put in some expansions that sadly diluted the experience over time. Trials of Atlantis and New Frontiers were two that many people say did the game in. When Jeff asked me if I would like to go back to DAOC the way it was in the beginning I got excited.
It is great when an Executive Producer says, what would you do with Dark Age of Camelot? Well I explained that maybe a sequel would be the way to go. Or perhaps revamp the game with an updated engine, new graphics and art, and keep the world in its old form with game play very close to the way people remember it. Jeff smiled, smirked is more like it, for a very long time. Jeff said that they are hiring right now on the Dark Age of Camelot team. We can only hope DAOC will see a rejuvenation back to its old awesome PvP self.

Huh. Interesting. I'd love to see a DAoC 2, with the same PVP mechanics and what all. I first got into PvP in DAoC, and really, besides WAR, I haven't had a satisfying experience with it since I stopped playing a Hibbie. (WoW doesn't count.)

I also would love to see another DAOC, I still feel that if they add the Roman and Persian empires the game would be really interesting. 5 realms fighting it out over the same goal.

Rome's so overdone. *grin*

yes but in history the Roman's assimilated the bretons, the celts were the biggest rival to the romans, the norse were rival to the celts, and the persian empire broke romes back. Those 5 empires were all big players in the 500bc - 500ad range. Historically the game could actually be the battle of empires fought between the 5 major players at the time.

I'd be a celt, for sure ;) I'd love a chance to stike at the romans that messed up my people's history.

True. I was just being funny because Rome is everyone's "go to" nation when it comes to people to fight. Thus the "overdone" snark. But you make valid points as to why they'd make a good player race. Still...I'd actually like to see one of the other "barbarian" races instread, especially as that's where DAoC drew all their factions from. Like, hrm...let's say the Huns - good on horseback, fast attacks, etc. Or Goths, or Vandals, or what have you. Besides, ALL the factions in DAoC now are all technically "celtic" in the broadest sense of the word, IMO. But what do I know? *grin*
