On June 20th, EA and Mythic Entertainment, Inc. announced that EA will acquire Mythic. A new EA Mythic will be formed.
Need I remind anyone of what they’ve done to all prior MMORPG’s? They killed them dead, dead, dead…. Yes, I mourn the loss of a good game, with many decent qualities, and well as it’s flaws. I expect that in the next two or three years, DAoC will be a ghost town, and Warhammer will either be half the game it was supposed to be, or never be released.
I cancelled all 3 DAoC accounts yesterday, and I most likely won’t be back anytime soon. Not that I’m mad, or anything, but most of friends that did play have all gone. Besides that, both my houses got repoed and I’m not paying for another 2 story house that costs 10 plat base, then everything else is extra. Nope! Not gonna happen for a game I just don’t play anymore.
It was a success! Well, what I could see of it. A screw in my glasses came out, thus a lens popped out with no way to put it back in. Bleh!
After months of waiting, the 1.81 patch is off the test server and on the lives servers. woot! I wasn’t even looking for it today, er yesterday, but I’m glad it’s out. I’ve been playing WoW so much, so it might be time to test out the changes in 1.81 they’ve promised.
An small overview of the more important 1.81 changes are:
Having played DAoC since about a month before Shrouded Isles was released, I have characters on all the different servers, except for the roleplaying servers. *cough*cough* Anyway, many of those servers are now clustered, and now I have “grandfathered” toons in all three realms in each cluster. With a 45 minute wait, it’s possible to logout from one server on the cluster, and login to a different realm and play whatever, including RvR.
