But fantasy, on the other hand, has had a huge number of successes. When we created Dark Age of Camelot back in 1999, we were competing against companies like EA, Sony and Microsoft, and against games like Ultima, Everquest, and Asheron. People back then thought we were insane, but seven years later, Dark Age of Camelot is recognized as one of the most successful MMORPGs of all time.
