Trials of Atlantis Interview

GameZone Online has conducted an interview with Mythic’s Matt Firor, asking the executive producer several questions about the soon-to-be-released Trials of Atlantis expansion for Dark Age of Camelot. Check it out:

Q: Talk to us a little about the creation of this world. What was the inspiration for it, or was this taken solely from the imaginations of the developers?

A: When you have a game based on Arthurian, Viking, and Celtic legends, and you’re looking for another that can be easily integrated into the ethos, Atlantis jumps right out. Almost every culture has at least one or two legends about a long-lost land of powerful intelligent people that slipped beneath the ocean in a cataclysmic event. Also, of course, Atlantis fits with our practice of taking public-domain myths and creating worlds from them. We didn’t follow any one specific Atlantean myth – as there are many and they often conflict – instead, we gook the “sunken land” concept and made our own story from it. It is up to the player to learn the story of Atlantis as they adventure through the expansion.
