The thing about Paul is... well... he reminds you of that crazy friend you have... the one you would never want your kids to turn out like. The one who comes up with stupid plans and then actually attempts them...
From what I have seen of Paul from the videos and interviews, if the game is not up to his standards when it comes out... many developers and artist will lose there lives....
I agree 100%. It's one of the factors besides of that of the gameplay that changed me from AoC to WAR. I'm not saying that AoC will be a bad game or anything, but WAR just seems.. "more fun".. in the long run.
I've been really impressed with the amount of details Mythic has been revealing about WAR in terms of videos, blogs, interviews, screenshots etc. We've been given tours of the Mythics offices, seen artists, coders, musicians, been given looks at all sort of different design aspects as the game develops, heck we actually were there to witness the very first time mobs spawned in the game!
Compared to other companies who only doll out the barest details and hardly post anything more than aomw flowery text and a couple screenshots every couple of weeks, Mythic really outdoes them all as far as inside information for the community. It makes me look forward to the games release if they keep up this kind of attention to the community. They don't have to do any of this stuff, but you get the feeling the want to do it so the players can take part in the game's development.
By accident or design? Myhtic have a winning attitude to PR and Paul is da orc!
Pauls excitement is infectious
The information coming out from Mythic is about what is in, not what might be in, if it isn't finalised they say so...seems very refreshing, let's hope the finished product is half as cool as it sounds.
Well IMHO the best thing about Paul is that he isn't like other dev's or PR guys who try to sound like they're smarter and better then you are and neither does he sound like a used car salesmen. Paul sounds like the type of guy I could sit down with and drink a beer with and talk about MMO's, Gaming, and Warhammer.
I've seen many a dev and PR guys give speeches and post on forums and none of them have sounded as honest, excited, or naturally enthused as Paul. He truly is a great asset to Mythic and GW as a spokesmen. I also like the open approach Mythic and GW has had with the game so far unlike other MMO companies.
Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.

Cool, I've been looking for that one. I love that last bit about growing wheat, making pants, and burning things to the ground.
Yea hehe. I just love Paul's "Whow..."

Wow, that was absolutely amazing. I couldn't stop smiling all the way through! I've been waiting for this game since hearing the very first rumors and have been keeping track of it on the WAR site. This is THE ONE game I have been waiting anxiously for. I'm already starting to get the Imagination part down. Drawing, talking, they release a new Class and I'm all over it. HOLY FREAKIN CRAP, I can't wait
