Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Q&A

GameSpy was able to track down EA Mythic general manager Mark Jacobs for a two-page Q&A about their decision to push Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning into 2008.
Q: Were there any external considerations regarding either the decision to delay or the choice for a new release date such as the market conditions or competitive products you're looking to avoid or possibly go head-to-head with?

A: Our new launch window is based on our development needs and what we believe it will take to deliver a great game in a very competitive market. We are aware of what the competition is doing, but we don't rely on that when making our plans. We need to do whatever is necessary to make Warhammer Online the best of the next-generation MMORPGs.
