Warhammer Online Not Influenced by EA Takeover

Mark Jacobs told MMORPG.com that Warhammer Online was never rushed or influenced by Electronic Arts. He was so firm on this point that he said, ”In the end, we got to make the game that we wanted. Not that game that EA wanted, not the game that Blizzard wanted, it’s the game that we wanted.”

Then switching to talking about the release date of the game he added, ”(Electronic Arts) could have said to us in June, ‘no guys, you’ve gotta ship it, patch it afterwards.’ They didn’t. And I don’t mean that I threatened so they didn’t, they never said that.”

The interview also mentions that Jacobs is planning on staffing up their WAR project team and that players should expect to see more from Mythic. Mythic has not announced any future development plans beyond supporting WAR at this time.
