After 6 years...Im switching the lights off..

[Shagrat]

wow Whoodoo, you were still hanging in there I left a while ago, but there are still odd moments when I feel the pull of DaoC. Not played anything since that has given me that pvp adrenalin rush.

I hope you find something in rl or online that fills the gap

Yes, Im finally giving it up, Ive applied my first DAoC nicotine patch and have cancelled my US subs, one of my accounts took the plunge yesterday, the other 2 will tomorrow. Already I feel withdrawl setting in, Ive spent the last few days taking screen shots of all my toons, frapsing a little and reassuring my better half that she wont see "Mythic Entertainment" on the bank statement any more....well until WAR maybe, but I dont tend to mention that.

The last 6 years and soooo many days /played (I dare even try and add that lot up!) have been great, met some wonderful people over the years and had a blast. The game itself is still great, and had potential to be better if Mythic and GOA had pulled their finger out of their arses and advertised it even a smidgin, but thats one thing we shouted for the loudest and instead we got squat. Reading the latest patch notes from 1.92 onwards has saddened me, what precious development time they have for the game has been reduced to "we make housing cheaper and prettier", and "were screwing with weapon styles to really annoy you".

I would like to say a big thanks to all my guilds; Aesirs Blade, Dragons of the North (Negura), Realm Defenders, The Rigante and Sarumans Hand, its been a blast guys, and hopefully our paths will cross in the future in WAR and maybe my next adventure Age of Conan. I would like to thank the old GOA team, Erivoss, Requiel, Kemor and Zargar amongst others, while you were lazy bastards fixing things, you are a great bunch of guys and a good laff. I would say thanks to people on here, but there would be too many to list, and some are long gone, but needless to say even those who I argued with made this forum great fun and a good source of wasting precious working time.

I will miss trundling round Midgard slaying trees and werewolves, and I will miss the good ol banter we have on here. Its been fun people, and for those staying, make sure you have fun and make the most of what I still beleive is one of the greatest games ever made.

I sincerely hope what I have put into the game with guides, raids and blurting crap on these forums has at least helped somewhat in the grand scheme of the game, even if it was bullshit, I did try to make life easier for people, and being an E&E I hoped would bridge the gap betweeen GMs and us lesser mortals, sometimes it did, sometimes I might as well have been talking to a small slice of cheese, but I tried.

Take care all, and hopefully I will see you in another game some day, trawling another forum and spending the hours you should be with the missus and kids beating monsters with virtual swords.

PS, no you cant have my stuff, p*ss off!

Whoodoo you dumb fuck, get off the mmorpg shit and start kissing some World of IRLcraft ass. In the end you will thank me for it

[Kami]

Sad to hear Whoodoo


Let us know what you get up to and if you end up in another game!

[Svartmetall]

I used to feel the same way about being one of the last few standing in Jordheim before they took the server down, but I cancelled in November or so, no reason to log in any more as anyone I used to play with had stopped playing some while previously.

A lot of DAOC vets are turning up in the WAR Beta now, though, so I'm hoping we'll see you in there too, Whoodoo.

/respect and hopefully see you for some stunty-bashin' soon

Congrats in advance

[Wonk]

[Fatload BoysDoCry]

Cya in WAR mike me, carl, lukey, matty and co will be there to keep you company

[Norvindus]

Hey Whoodoo

I thought the same that I would play Daoc forever as it was and still in my mind
shines as a damn cool game.
But it needs players, loads of players and sadly the mythic and GOA approach to advertising (word of mouth) fails bigtime. So left a while ago to greener pastures.

Cya around.
