DAoC European Launch Interview

Eurogamer has posted up a two-page article that talks with GOA’s Mickael Ivorra about the upcoming launch of Dark Age of Camelot over in Europe. Here’s a snippet:

And European gamers may well end up getting a better service for their lower monthly subscription fee. Apparently GOA “want an increased ‘roleplay’ and ‘events’ flavour, and we will actively develop stories, with several GameMasters per server”. But what does this mean in practice?

“There will be very different types of events, from some regular quests to more complicated stories with different endings”, Mickael explained, adding that some of these events will be fully scripted while others will be run in real-time by human GameMasters. This means that “all servers will have a different story. However, there’s going to be cross-stories happening on all the worlds. All of them will rely heavily on the background, based on the known mythology of that period.”
