Mythic boss Mark Jacobs has said to media that the quality of questing in World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade delayed development of his own MMO, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, reported by Eurogamer.
The details are as below:
"We obviously had a major bump when Burning Crusade came out," Jacobs said.
"When [Blizzard] released that expansion, they raised the expectations of the
player."
Jacobs paid tribute to Blizzard's ability to create stand-out
quests that players would talk about with each other, and to pack its game with
content.
"They put in some of what we call 'watercooler quests', the
things that you talk about around the watercooler," he said.
"We looked
at the amount of content they put in that and said we need more time if we want
to add some of those things, if we want our own watercooler quests or more
watercooler quests. So our choice was to delay the game and spend more time on
it."
Warhammer Online has been delayed several times from its original
2007 release date, and is finally set to launch on Thursday next week. Public
servers for those who pre-ordered the collector's edition of the game will open
this Sunday in both Europe and the US.
