Crafting a Mechanic With Mark Jacobs Completely Available
update: We now have all 3 parts available linked at the bottom
There are plenty of standard mechanics one sees in every MMO game. While some, like combat and skill progression, are very obvious others are subtle such as crafting. EA Mythic's General Manager, Mark Jacobs, displays a deep passion for crafting in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Boasting the system is deep and unique, he promises it will be unlike anything we've ever seen before. Mark was kind enough to answer all our questions about the crafting system from his keep in Virginia.

If you look at the standard recipe system, there isn't much you can do with it. You get a book or a recipe, that tells you this is something that you can do. You put it together with ingredients and you get an item. There is no experimentation; there is no room there for adding things other than new recipes or even changing recipes around. It is still the same thing.

I like Mark Jacobs (heck, all the Mythic staff seem pretty cool), he is quickly becoming my favourite gaming CEO.
The article was a good read, but you better not hold out on us too long before getting part two posted!
The only gripe I had, was that when I clicked the 'Add your thoughts to the discussion!' link, it sent me here. Is there something you want to tell us RadarX?

I...I have no excuse nor understanding why that happened.
Part 2 will be coming shortly. I'm preparing it now but it should be three parts by the time we're done.

Damn that some cruel and unusual punishment you are dishing out there Mr X. You know that we are on the edges of our seats waiting for the rest of this interview and you are going to drag it out further?!?
