We saw the Warhammer Online booth at GameX, and we wagggggghed ourselves right into a video interview with James Casey and Matt Shaw from Mythic Entertainment that pulled no punches. We wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes with their decision making in patch 1.3.2, shooting James and Matt the hard questions.
Why were fortresses pulled from the endgame? Why choose 1.3.2 for performance fixes and not fix these things earlier? While we interrogated, Matt and James were also happy to tell us about the new stuff for WAR, including the new-user experience added in 1.3.2, the awesome unlimited trial that starts today, and the new streaming client option that trial users will receive.
So for the answers to some burning WAR questions, jump with us after the break and check out our video interview!

Yeah their answers are unintelligible (sp?).
Any chance of a transcript?

Ok i am not trying to derail this, but can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, ask some of these questions about Dark Age of Camelot ?
All of those who loved that game really are interested in if Mythick will make an attempt to reinvigorate DAoC again.
Weather thats DAoC2 or the forgotten Origins server set.
Please, someone ate Massively has to have an interest in this.
