FEEDING THE PARANOIA OF GAME DEVELOPERS EVERYWHERE [Author: Lum the Mad]

Got this email:

Hey, I was reading the Dark Ages of Camelot site recently, and noticed some disturbingly …uhm… exact duplicates of shadowbane ideas. It’s sort of funny, now that the whole Rolemaster thing is out the window they’ve started ripping off ideas from a game that noone really knows much of anything about yet. Just thought you might like to post a nice lil story about this, after you read up a little =)

Well, I did, and I’m not sure what DAoC stole from Shadowbane (being massively multiplayer? having PvP? having chicks in platemail?) but I’m sure you rabid SB fans who accused EQ of stealing the word “discipline” will enlighten me shortly.
