although it applies to this introduction, it was
the first question the Prima in-house team asked
after jumping into the
Shrouded Isles
beta test. Being avid
players of the game since very near its conception, we were
surprised at how much the wonderful people at Mythic had
expanded their universe. Our surprise quickly turned to
panic when we realized that this guide could not be written
by the in-house team alone. There was too much to cover,
and very little time to do so.
Fortunately, if there is one thing you learn after playing
a game like DAoC, it's that there is always someone who
knows more than you. So, instead of taking it upon our
shoulders, we went to the Dark Age community to gather
the information contained within this book. What we got
from them is nothing less than outstanding. They had pre-
cious little time to work, a patch-happy beta to work with,
and me as their lead (one guess which was the worst of the
three). But for the love of the game, they persisted and pro-
duced more than we alone could have. So if you find what is
contained within this guide useful, and we know you will,
you have them to thank. Dark Age thrives on its sense of
community, and this project survived because of it.
First and foremost, our sincere thanks go to Mark Davis
at Mythic, who somehow found the time to get us the infor-
mation we needed while simultaneously getting a game
ready for launch
and
welcoming all 6 lbs., 13 oz. of his new
son Ethan into the world. Congratulations, Mark!
Additional thanks go to both Jennifer Hicks and
Jeremiah Smith at Mythic, who were integral in providing
us with everything we asked for, and some important stuff
we didn't. Also thanks to Eugene Evans and Matt Firor for
their great feedback.
