Warhammer Online developer Mythic will be implementing a new online system that will give credit where credit's due.

According to the latest International Game Developers Association newsletter, "Mythic will create an online database listing the name and title of everyone who contributed to a project, regardless of current employment status.

"Additionally, the studio will make best efforts to provide this information for its previous online games."

Mythic general manager Mark Jacobs came under fire in August for saying only employees who were part of Warhammer Online's launch team would be listed in the title's credits. Such a policy would leave former employees who contributed to the product in a bind when trying to tell new employers of their work history.

Mythic will reserve in-game and manual credits for a game's launch team, but the online database will give a more complete view of all who worked on a game.

The studio will also continue to work with the IGDA on crediting issues, with Jacobs acting as a consultant with the organization's Credits Standard Committee with a focus on MMO crediting.

IGDA was outspoken against Mythic's prior crediting policy in its previous newsletter, which was released while Jacobs was looking into improving the studio's crediting.

IGDA chair Jen MacLean apologized for the public criticism, stating, "Unfortunately, when the previous newsletter was sent out, Mark, unbeknownst to the me, was quietly continuing to work on a new credit policy for the studio. Mark, I regret that my comments caused you personal and professional distress."
