Every once in a while something like this happens. Sometimes you can see it coming. Other times it is a complete shock. I have to say that I both saw this coming and at the same time am shocked by the news.
I truly did not believe that WarHammer Online was a very successful MMORPG, but at the same time, I can't imagine DAoC and WarHammer Online with out Mark Jacobs. It just feels wrong.
It's like Microsoft with out Bill Gates. Actually it is with out Bill Gates now, but that's my point. It just doesn't feel right.
Best of luck Mark.
