• • Just what the MMORPG calls for

  • That might be the type of PVP that you want to see Daedalus, but from reading Dev interviews it's by no means certain that is what we are going to get. In fact separate "restricted pvp" and "free for all pvp" servers seem a distinct possibility. Having said that, this issue seems to change from interview to interview but what the Devs have said time and again is that if you want to avoid PVP, you can.

    Folks,

     

    
    Let me make one thing clear from the contract:

    GOA's level and quality of support must equal or exceed Mythic support

    If they don't do that, the deal is off. Now, does that clear things up a bit?

    Also, for those that are saying that GOA failed to bring lots of customers to the game, that is total nonsense. At its peak, DAoC subscribers in Europe dwarfed all the competition. Our numbers there (which at the time was a far less robust market than it is today) were better than we expected them to be. If GOA had handled Italy and other territories from the beginning, our numbers would have been even higher.

    Again, I'm not saying that GOA was perfect, they weren't, Mythic wasn't perfect either. We both have learned a lot over the last 5 years and we expect to learn even more over the next two. We have contract language that assures that GOA's support and effort will not only be even better than last time but that it will have to be the equal or better than Mythic's support. If that isn't good enough for those that are complaining or worrying, than there is nothing more I or anyone can say that will change your mind. And when that happens, I will stop talking about it because it is pointless.

    That really puts things in a different light. They can legally ditch GOA before WAR EU goes down the drain, but the question is will they do it? You'd think with the resources available from EA that we could get a proper distributor here too.

     

    "equal or exceed Mythic support" is where we got the infamous comment from IainC at GOA that: "equal is not the same as identical"
     

    I had the US version downloaded but I still went with the EU version because I had a CE on order.

     

    Hopefully when I come back from playing WotLK things will have improved.

  • Having different publishers in the USA and EU is just asking for trouble, I can't get my head around why Developers do this.

     

    I think "dieing" is overstating things a tad though.
