Seeing double: Tabula Rasa interview (part 2) with Garriott and Garriott |
Ó
As promised, we've got the second part of the Voodoo Extreme's DICE Summit interview with Ultima Online">Richard Garriott (and a new screenshot to boot!). The transcript has already been posted and we're surprised that the brother, Robert Garriot, also decided to drop in a couple of thoughts during the interview.As the sit-down progressed, they went on talking about the status of NCSoft through the years. It is, after all, the 10th anniversary of Ultima Online. So how far have they gone and what can they expect in the next couple of years, especially with Tabula Rasa?
Robert Garriot answers this with a quick recap of recent history, with UO setting the standard with its 50,000 sign-ups for beta and eventual 100,00 sold out during its first run. And then EverQuest came out and flushed UO to the side. And eventually, more games came out, each of them surpassing the 100,000 mark of UO.
Richard Garriot then continues the conversation and brings it over to Lineage - yet another market hit. It's even reported that one out of ten people in Korea have a Lineage II account. They go on with talking about market saturation and what it takes for a "next-gen" MMO to survive in the cutthroat battlefield of online accounts - including sticky reticles and more gameplay mechanics.
