Anyone else think the last part sounds like an obituray?Mythic Entertainment
Company Bio
Mythic Entertainment was founded in October 1995 by Rob Denton and Mark Jacobs. The studio developed a number of small online games that were distributed over the web before making its first major retail release, Dark Age of Camelot, in 2001. The online RPG is set in a familiar fantasy world but distinguishes itself with a choice of three warring factions, to offer diversity and promote player-versus-player competition.
In June 2006, Electronic Arts announced its plans to purchase Mythic Entertainment. While prominent producers in nearly every other game genre, the publishing giant had lacked any real presence in the "massively multiplayer online role-playing game" market since its late-1990s aquisition of Origin's Ultima Online, which likely was a factor prompting investment in the experience and expertise offered by Mythic. ~ T.J.

Reading the latest poll on DAoC, it seems the future for the game is Pay as you Go l33tness.Imgormiel said:Although I never experienced ultima online, my overall impression of EA is a good one.

rampant said:so you like the fact that they rehash games on a yearly basis - producing the same old tripe time and time again? (fifa anyone???)

Phantomby said:think he's refering to the publisher intro which is 2 seconds uninteruptable screen. pretty standard practice on most games.
