He can take my money to get money ships whenever he wants (well, actually he already did, I already paid 10 euros for Warahammer LE). Paul Barnett is my new personal hero.

As much as I love the guy, I'm not impressed. There’s a certain irony in what he’s saying because of the fact that WAR is looking like DAoC+.

I like Mark. I like Paul. It is just odd that Paul Barnett can talk about all of this forward thinking while Mythic stays heavily entrenched in producing games on old ideas that they are familiar with. I like Mythic and I think they've really innovated in some of the online areas outside of their games. Sanya Weathers really revolutionized what it meant to manage an online game community for Dark Ages of Camelot. The CamelotHerald website has been extremely important for almost every game that has followed since and sites like WoW's Armory can directly trace their roots to the original thought put into CamelotHerald. Dark Ages of Camelot really proved that these online games can be produced on time, on budget, and launch without major problems. Sure, there are delays with WAR, but the bar was raised by WoW and Mythic is not one to ignore lessons learned in the market place.

Top character to watch present, possibly slightly mad in a good way, and knows what he's talking about too. Glad it's him doing the job he does, it's what Warhammer deserves. Tins of soup indeed.

Now I like him. I like the way he's explaining all thoses issues we already know in MMOs. It's entertaining and accessible to a none gamer audience. The parallel to vegas is so true.
