Mark Jacobs Interview

[GameBanshee News]

RPGVault has conducted an interview with Mythic Entertainment's Mark Jacobs, talking about their new recently announced MMORPG, Imperator Online. A snippet:

Q: What considerations influenced the decisions to use a future setting and also to base it on the alternate timeline scenario where Rome has not fallen?

A: As I said in the release, we want to go head to head with Star Wars Galaxies. As to the alternate timeline, we thought it would be really cool. When I first conceptualized Imperator, I had the same thought as I did for Dark Age of Camelot. That is that we have a very, very recognizable entity and some fabulous history to use as a background for what will be a very cool game. Also, like Dark Age of Camelot, since we are not using a license, we can do anything we want with the property. This gives us the freedom to go wild and have a lot of fun.
