Mythic and BioWare Form New RPG/MMO Group

Welcome on Warhammer Online Gold. As you probably already know, EA is restructuring its RPG and MMO games development into a new group with both Mythic and BioWare. Most important person in this group is Ray Muzyka, General Manager of Bioware and co-founder. Another important guy is Greg Zeschuk, and he will become Group Creative Officer for the new RPG/MMO studio group.

I was very surprised when I read that Mr. Mark Jacobs, co-founder leaved EA on June 23, 2009. Well, seems like Mythic is finally rethinking a few of its previous strategies specifically the issues of population (im)balance, stability and sieges. We all know very well, Bright Wizard and his AoE spells (great balanced career D’OH) or Warrior Priest and his healing abilities during combat. Well, I was surprised when 2 Warrior Priests, killed me – Marauder – and 1 Orc Choppa, 2 Black Orcs, Shaman and Disciple of Khaine. Great balance indeed.
We all know one thing for sure – Warhammer Online need changes. With BioWare, one of the most experienced electronic entertainment company, I’m sure WAR will be bigger, better and finally BALANCED! Bioware developed many great titles like the Baldur’s Gate series, MDK2, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Jade Empire. They also created the Infinity Engine, which was used as a core component for development role-playing games based on Dungeons & Dragons, such as Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale. For their game Neverwinter Nights, BioWare developed the Aurora Engine, the basis for a number of successful computer and console 3D RPGs thereafter.

We are all waiting for more PvP areas and ideas + expansion, my personal opinion is that they already working on new expansion – that’s why they hire people from BioWare to support Warhammer Online.
