Electronic Arts Restructures Role Playing Organization

There's been considerable change in Electronic Arts' role-playing arenas over the last week. EA's Mythic Entertainment is being rolled into a new RPG/MMO division that will be directed by EA's BioWare general manager, Ray Muzyka. Mythic general manager Mark Jacobs will be leaving the company. GameSpot has more info on the shake-up.

Mythic is the current location of Origin's archive materials and acts as the custodian of Ultima Online. They launched Warhammer Online last fall, which currently has about 300,000 subscribers. Server capacity in much of the world has been reduced this year, but Warhammer debuted in Taiwan on June 25.
