Folks,

"As you might have expected, Mythic has been talking to GOA for the entire day about today's events. GOA is still our partner and no matter what the difficulties are right now, we must act as partners. I expect you'll be hearing more shortly.

P.S. The key Mythic personnel (including yours truly) have been involved in these discussions since way too early this morning. Hopefully that will give you some comfort on how seriously we are taking things."

Posted on the VN boards.

This is the end of GOA and Mythics' partnership I'll wager.  About time in my opinion.

can i get a link please? oh and i dont think theyll destroy a partnership over this its too much hassle and too close to launch for them to risk losing the partner

There's a funny tone to that statement. He's implying that a Mythic is dissappointed with GOA lol

Can't link it for some reason.  It's on page 13 of one of the main EU threads there.

For the short term I doubt Mythic has any choice but to stay with GOA, it's probably far too close to launch to replace them.

 Wouldn't assume they're dead but they must've gotten told off badly for sure...

Folks,

I just got off the phone with senior management at GOA and I know you'll be getting lots of information shortly. I know it doesn't make today better but I can assure you that leadership is very aware of the situation and they are doing/going to do something about it. They are not at all happy about the situation either.

I won't say trust me on this because right now, our European fans have no reason to have any trust. I will say though to see what transpires before launch, during Open Beta and then, if we launch well, I hope we will regain your trust.

Voiding a contract is never easy, or quick.

Assuming there's even been a breach.

Indeed, but negligence and ineptitude are always grounds for 'dismissal'.

GOA have potentially cost Mythic a fortune, and that won't be tolerated.  MJB has issued a very loaded statement there, and with his track record with the community so far, he means business..

im sure mythic is very deeply  dissapointed in GOA for giving such bad PR for the game thus costing them subscriptions..i am SURE there will be consiquenses.

Well, if players/mythic actually listened to all the DAoC Europe players since the launch of DAoC you would all know GOA are complete imbeciles. They totally ruined DAoC for a LOT of people and Mythic are partly to blame for going with the cheapest route.

Maybe GOA and Funcom should merge, keep all the idiots in one place.

Will not be buying/playing WAR just for the fact Mythic went with GOA again, some people never learn
