Former Mythic Entertainment head Mark Jacobs sheds a little light on the circumstances surrounding his departure from the EA-owned MMO developer in a farewell post on his personal blog.
Jacobs'âAll Things Must Come To An Endâ post mainly looks back on his time with Mythic, from the early days of Dark Age of Camelotâs pre-release through to his final days as GM of EA Mythic. He does briefly touch on his departure at the very beginning, however, explaining why he had suddenly gone on sabbatical, as mentioned in a previous post on the formation of EAâs new joint BioWare/Mythic RPG/MMO group.

Whether this means that EA asked him to step down or the proposed changes werenât to his liking and he simply took off is anyoneâs guess. Mark Jacobs certainly isnât telling.
âŠif you are looking or expecting me to damn EA or anyone there, you will be sorely disappointed. Over my 23 years of making games professionally I have refrained from attacking the competition, former and/or current partners, other game developers, etc. except on a few very rare instances. I have no intention of breaking with tradition at the present time and I hope my track record in this regard remains unchanged for the rest of my career.
