Actually Mark Jacobs has specifically say Warhammer online IS NOT Daoc 2.

Folks,

First, sorry I've been away so long, I've been pretty busy on the business end of Mythic so I haven't had the time nor energy to do a lot of posting here. I'm clawing and crawling my way out tonight and I'll be catching up on my posting but then disappearing again for a bit (sorry).

So, as to this being a DAoC2 clone, I can promise you it is not that (and you guys know that I don't promise stuff). Will it have some elements found in DAoC's RvR? Yeap, sure will. Will it have some elements from DAoC's PvE system? Yeap. Will it have a ton of stuff from WH? Yeap. Will it have stuff from other PvE games? Yeap. DiD EQ/AC/WoW have elements from other MUDs/MMORPGs? Yeap. Well, you get where I'm going here. There is 0, and I mean, 0 point in doing DAoC2 wrapped in WH material. First, GW wouldn't permit it. Second, why would I take the time and expense to license and partner with GW if all I was really doing was creating DAoC2? It would have been cheaper and easier for Mythic to simply take DAoC and do DAoC2 rather than create WHDAoC.

We are creating WAR, not DAoC2, DAoC1.5 or WHDAoC. Much is going to be revealed starting by the 2nd week of March (firm date, BTW not a "planned date" ) and you guys will begin to see what I am talking about. I wish I could tell you more about but when March rolls around you will know why I couldn't. After that we really start talking and showing the game leading up to E3 in May.

I want Mythic to create the best game/MMORPG that we have ever done and that is why we choose GW and their IP. We had lots of options (think about the amount of fantasy IP out there) but we choose WH because of all the wonderful things in the IP as well as my respect for and friendship with members of the company. All the matters in the end is, as always, creating a great and glorious game set in, based on and taking place throughout the WH world. To do that we will use what game design ideas/mechanics that are necessary to make that happen. And truly, isn't that what we all want in the end?

Mark

Here, I'll save you the trouble:

"Folks,

First, I want to thank everyone for their kind words regarding the announcement of our first Warhammer game. Everyone at Mythic is quite excited about the possibilities that this partnership with the fine folks at Games Workshop with bring about to both companies. Secondly, as to the game that we have begun work on, it will be a game that is focused on the RvR aspects of Warhammer. We will reveal more details over the coming months but for now, I think the best way to describe the game I have envisioned is the simple phrase "This time it's WAAAGH!" Third, I apologize in advance for what will be infrequent appearances here and other Warhammer-related sites. It's not that I don't love to chat (as the guys at GW can tell you, getting me to shut up is more of a problem), but I have a game design to work on after all.

To answer some brief questions that have popped up here and on other forums:

1) This is not a continuation of the Warhammer Online project. Mythic is working closely with GW to create a new vision for a Warhammer online game.

2) The development time-line for the game is a tad over 2 years but given our experience and existing code-base (Dark Age of Camelot, Imperator and others), we believe we can meet that schedule.

3) We want to pull in as much material from the Warhammer material as we can to make this a great game. I don't care where it comes from, if it's Warhammer (Fantasy Battles, RPG, Warmaster) and it also can be part of a great game, I want to try to fit it in this game. This game will not be DAoC2 with the name of Warhammer attached.

4) RvR does not equal PvP. DAoC is not a PvP game and neither will be this game. We want people to be able to roleplay and we also want them to be able to play the game without worrying about getting ganked from the moment they enter the game by someone more powerful than them.

5) The building and maintaining of community is quite important to Mythic whether it is in the game or out of it. The reason we don't host our own forums is that we either do it well (which means full-time admins, added costs) or we would rather not do it at all. We will consider setting up our own forums for this game but most likely, they will be private to keep the noise level down. Now, if we make them private, we will of course invite all the people who have been participating in forums like these to join us. We will also have ultra-private forums for beta-testers as we do for DAoC and Imperator.

6) As to the question of religion in Warhammer, we expect it will play a role. Religion doesn't in Imperator because Imperator is meant to be a pure sci-fi game. We'd be foolish to do the same here.

7) As a friend of mine at GW says in describing what we want to do with this game, Warhammer will not be happy-clappy land, we'll leave dancing orcs, prancing elves to other guys.

8) I have a long-standing relationship with a number of the people at GW, and I hold them, and the IP, in the highest regard. Nothing that we are doing is in any way a sign of disrespect for what has gone before. It's a new day, a new vision but the old world.

well thanks to the advances in modern technology and medicine the stupid no longer kill themselves off thru their own stupidity anymore..
this leaves them free to spend their time jumping to daft conclusions.
poor darwin, his survival of the fittest theories r kinda buggered now.
hehe tho there are darwin awards for the folks that remove themselves from the genepool in the stupidest ways so at least his theories will live on this way
