The France Telecom owned publisher signs a five-year deal with Mythic as shock announcement is made...
Following the creation of its GOA.com casual gaming portal earlier in the year, France Telecom's game publisher subsidiary GOA has today announced that it's secured the European publishing rights to Mythic Entertainment's subscription based MMO, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
The game, which is set for release on PC during Autumn 2007, will be the second time that the two companies have worked together, the first with Dark Age of Camelot.
"We are thrilled to be partners with Mythic again and build on the five-year relationship and experience that we've been enjoying with their team," commented Ghislaine Le Rhun, Senior Vice President of GOA.
"Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has tremendous potential and we intend to treat the game with all the care it deserves. Mythic's expertise in building deep PvP features - which guarantee long-term fun - will make WAR a unique game. Add to this the amazingly rich Warhammer universe, epic adventures, humour, and a very intuitive user experience, and you end up with a future blockbuster. We look forward to showing the game to European players."
"The initial partnership between Mythic and GOA resulted in Dark Age of Camelot(r) being the number one MMORPG in Europe for many years." said Mark Jacobs, CEO and President of Mythic Entertainment, "With WAR our goal is nothing less than to take Europe by storm and regain that leadership position in the European market."
TVG recently spoke to Mythic Entertainment's Director of Marketing, Steve Perkins, about Warhammer Online, which can be read here. We'll have more on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning shortly...

Anyone know what the source of this "blog" is. I know Mythic doesn't send personal letters to TVG so they had to get it from somewhere.

The Origin on most games came from old text based games called MUDs (Multi User Dungeon), MUSHs, etc. The MUDs I played back in the late 80's were pretty much what MMORPG's are today, but all text. I think the first MMORPG would be Ultima Online then Everquest. Pretty sure Everquest brought the biggest attention to the whole MMORPG gaming industry. So basically WoW got its ideas from other games too. Just as Ultima Online and Everquest got there ideas from MUDs. MUDs got there ideas from pen and paper D&D probably. As for games not like WoW style... That would be EVE-Online that is the most unique in my mind. So saying every game after WoW is just like wow is very incorrect.

total rubbish since launch it seems to do is allow you to activate account taking time out of your already paid for 30 days. Clearly same person employed to organise launch as managed openning of terminal five at heathrow.

Try googleing Gameworkshop and have a look at Space Marines and try and say that they don't look remarkably similair to the Starcraft units, or Greenskins don't bear a striking resembalance to Orcs and Goblins in Warcraft and then have a look at their respective release dates, Warcraft 1995 Warhammer 1983. Now I love Warcraft (the RTSs more than the MMO but the MMO is still pretty decent) and I actually think that Warhammer online looks pretty bad, (that engine look about 5 years old) but trying to claim that Warcraft and Starcraft didn't take most of their character design ideas from the Warhammer universe is naive in the extreme. To the guy who said "jesus the fanboys you get" if you can't see the similarities, then seriously, you must have cataracts or something.

Yeah except your forgetting about the passage of time. Blizzard wasn't allways the monolith of the gaming industry it is now. The offer was made to GW before the launch of Warcraft 1, before anyone had heard of Warcraft, before Starcraft, before Diablo, they were a tiny indipendant developer with titles like "BattleChess" and "Dvorak on Typeing" (a classroom teaching aid) under their belt. Gameworkshop on the other hand was allready an established multinational chain having been selling world famous franchises like Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer for 20 years before Warcraft 1.

and y are ppl sayin wow is crap...everyother online game from the year 2000 has copied off it, lord of the rings, age of connan and...well this, the fact is WoW cant be crap because big companys are copieing off them, Until a new oneline game comes out that dosnt copy of Wow there will be no better online game, plus wow has the biggest num,ber of players, so i am told (if im wrong dont belly ache me)

WoW isnt a rip off of warhammer, if ur on about the online game, wow has been out way longer while warhammer online only came out today n if ur on about the models, there are no WoW modles like warhammer, jesus the fanboys ya get, its quite sad really
