Mythic’s Marvelous Mea Culpa

Mythic’s Marvelous Mea Culpa

By Frank on April 21, 2010

If there’s anything that sucks to say sometimes, no matter if you’re an individual or a company, it’s “my bad”. Whether it’s in everyday interaction as simple as bumping into someone and causing them to scald themselves with hot coffee, or as complex as a fender bender car accident, we’re all going to be put [...]

By Frank on September 18, 2009

Image by She Takes The Cake via Flickr Today marks the first anniversary of the release of Warhammer Online, the spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot, and Mythic’s 2nd major attempt at an MMO. It was one year ago today that WAR, the darling of the MMO playerbase at the time, released to major [...]

A Better Letter From The WAR Front

By Frank on August 17, 2009

Image by J. Stephen Conn via Flickr These days, you get the sense that Mythic’s just plugging away at WAR. Seemingly unconcerned at past transgressions and not particularly worried about the upcoming MMO releases on the horizon, the folks who develop WAR are starting to hammer away at the existing problems of the game. Typifying [...]

News on Breaking From WAR Devs

By Frank on July 1, 2009

Image by Kenzoka [wish I had more time now...] via Flickr For a few days now, it’s been all quiet on the WAR front. Speculation abounded for a little bit, until we saw a post from Community Coordinator Andy Belford explaining that the upcoming holiday meant the Mythic offices were taking a bit of a [...]

Mythic and Bioware Now Equals Peanut Butter and Jelly

By Frank on June 24, 2009

Image by Aminimanda via Flickr So if you haven’t heard the buzz around the interwebz about this news, check out this link about the Mythic/Bioware group merge on Warhammer Alliance. For those not in the know, both Mythic and Bioware exist under the EA umbrella these days, so in a bold move of re-organization and [...]

Extra Life Update

By Frank on October 10, 2008

So, as some of you know, I will be participating in a 24-hour gaming marathon to raise money for children’s cancer research. As of this writing, I have no sponsors, but regardless of whether or not I get sponsors, I will be participating in this effort, as it is a worthwhile one. I would hope [...]

Sating the WAR Appetite

Sating the WAR Appetite

By Frank on August 31, 2008

As some of us are (hopefully) taking the long weekend here in the US for Labor Day to have a nice little barbeque and spend some time with family and friends, I thought this was an appropriate time to talk a little more about that wonderful thing that happens when it comes to highly-anticipated MMOs [...]

An OP Review of a Half-Baked WAR

By Frank on August 19, 2008

So with today’s NDA drop for Warhammer Online, everyone who was in the closed beta seems to be scrambling to put down their keyboards and mice and post their thoughts about the game as it stands today, a little less than one month before release. Well, far be it from me to not jump on [...]

NDA Nostradamus

NDA Nostradamus

By Frank on August 19, 2008

So the latest, exciting news on the WAR front is the fact that the Non-Disclosure Agreement will be dead in a matter of hours, allowing many people who’ve had to have their lips zipped and their mouths shut to finally talk to everyone who wasn’t their friend or on their IM list. Yes, once again [...]

The Geek Essentials

The Geek Essentials

By Frank on August 15, 2008

Mythic Producer Josh Drescher talked a bit today about fitting a bunch of junk into your little bags for a jaunt, pretty much calling out fellow employee Justin Webb for trying to cram everything into one carry-on bag for a trip to Germany’s Leipzig. Now I’m not really sure what Justin is planning to do [...]
