A Mighty Mouse For Mighty MMOs

by Scott Jennings on December 21, 2009

I wonder if you could have used the Imperator mouse with the Imperator game.

Depends on how they pronounce it, really.

That’s the most exciting video for a mouse I have ever seen. For years, I’ve blamed my constant failure and death in video games on my inept skill, if only I had known that it was my mouse the whole time!

Argh. Imperator was without a doubt the MMO that I looked forward to the most out of those that never made it. There’s nothing really like it out there today, and I would MUCH rather have had that than the game that WAR turned out to be.

I remember playing a short demo of Imperator at the E3 when WAR was announced. I know they did it to look all cool, but Mythic got the most awkward seat/stations I had ever sat in hooked up to the computers. :~(

A mouse company that continues to turn out mice at a higher-than-usual price by hyping insubstantial features versus a MMORPG with substantial features that faltered in development due to lack of notice. There’s some social commentary to be found there, I’m sure.

I… wow. I mean… a trailer for a mouse. Aside from the looks it’s not even impressive.

I wonder if such a mouse will leave a sinking MMO ship at a faster speed.

@DragonPup: You still sat down and played through it a bunch, though. I remember needing to kick you off a couple of times, I believe. =)

When will someone start making trackballs again? :( Thank God for the ebay guy who knows how to repair my old ones.

Imperator with Gamebryo? Why not just shoot yourself in the leg? Oh wait, Mythic did that with Warhammer and that was just some slow-paced fantasy point & click.

I remember some rather scathing forum warrior thread I made about up coming Imperator and then it was happily canceled. I felt so clever.

Seriously though why why why didnt Mythic make DAoC 2.

Probably the same reason why EA decided against making an Ultima Online 2 (twice): it runs the risk of competing against their own product.

That’s nothing for mmo fans. Razer Naga is the one true mouse tailored to mmo gamers!!
