"No no," was the response from BioWare Mythic VP Eugene Evans when
PC Gamer asked if the studio's involvement in
Star Wars: The Old Republic put the future of
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, their Warhammer MMORPG in doubt. "All of these games appeal to different people for different reasons. I’m very proud to be able to say that I’m running the studio that’s run
Ultima Online for as long as it has – 14 years.
Dark Age of Camelot just celebrated 10 years. We hope we can run these games for as long as there is player interest." He also says there are no current plans to take the game down the free-to-play route so many of its competitors have chosen: "Right now, we’re focused on
Wrath of Heroes as our free-to-play offering in the Warhammer universe," Evans tells them. "We believe in the community of players who are playing Age of Reckoning. Yes, we could have attracted a lot of players to it [with free-to-play], but it’s unclear how long you’ll keep them. We wanted to support our game as it currently exists."
