Scott Jennings Interview

The guys at Aikida have conducted an interview with Mythic Entertainment’s Scott Jennings, asking him questions about Dark Age of Camelot, his job at Mythic, what MMORPGs he’s looking forward to, and more. Here’s a teaser:

Q: What quality does the MMORPG have to draw and hold such a dedicated and fanatical player base? What sets the genre apart from others?

A: Persistence. The more persistent a world is, the more its draw on people. Look at UO and its player housing, or EQ and its incredibly long term character building process – no matter what you say about either game, they do a great job of drawing you in and keeping you there. I know – I played both games for years, and a game’s life span for me is usually a few days at most.
