Last week, Mythic Entertainment's head honcho, Mark Jacobs, published the first of many "State of the Game" reports for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. After getting Mark on the phone, the Ten Ton Hammer staff asked the Mythic Entertainment GM / VP a variety of questions regarding classes, crafting, RvR, itemization, and much more. Yesterday, Ten Ton Hammer published the first part of Mark's interview, and we're now proud to present Part Two of our exclusive "State of the Game" interview with Mark Jacobs.

In Part Two, Mark and the Ten Ton Hammer staff talk about having a fan-based event and the future of the MMO industry after EA's major upcoming announcement. Make sure you check back with Ten Ton Hammer to hear all about the announcement tomorrow!

Ten Ton Hammer: I guess it's more of a question of scale. Is it going to be the same size that BlizzCon was this last year?

Mark: That's really up to the fans, right? Every year with Camelot, we've had this Roundtable event and once we get through the next three months or so (with WAR) we'll look at doing these sort of things. As far as scale goes, that really depends on how many players we have. BlizzCon is 15,000 out of how many millions that play in North America and Europe? It's all kind of relative. Frankly, the more that are playing, the bigger the event will be.
