Lets be positive about GOA for a bit...

Okay, I just read this long post on warhammeralliance (most of it, anyway) which was very bashing about GOA...

And yes, GOA has made many mistakes, but if you want to whine about them, go to another thread!

I think it would be good to look at some of the good things GOA has done for a bit, just to get the mood up a bit

I remember in DAoC that GOA did some things for us EU players that wasn't done (some of it, anyway) for NA players which was awesome..

Custom Quests, in which a GM ran a quest, in a period they did one every week, shifting between the 3 realms, so 1 week Albion had a quest, then Hibernia next week and then Midgaard, and then back to Albion!

I remember spending a few hours running around in SI into, I think, Trollheim to fight some custom made NPCs and then get back and get some wolfskin cloak, which was absolutely terrible, but the event was super fun!

Who else had some fun with that?

Or the time they transfered Thid into a Event for all 3 realms, I remember Midgard getting access from outside of Gna faste, and some of the rewards was awesome (didn't get any, but boy was I jalous of those who did ) and super fun!

Or Soccer! Was outside of Jordheim in Midgard and was quite often in a period, never got to play, but those I talked with who did said it was super fun!

Come on! Somebody else might have more to add or experiences from any of those 3 to share Much more fun killing time with something positive rather than negative

And please, don't reply if you just want to whine about them, as said, that belongs in other threads

Been a VERY long time, so memory might be failing, but if you are referring to a 'fair and festival' on Prydwen many years back, that was primarily player inspired, run and staffed, although extremely well supported by the then GOA rep who placed all sorts of vendors and decorative items in the area.

I lied and got 200p on my previously empty 35 spiritmaster .

As someone said above the Thid event and the legendary Barrels were awesome.

Indeed they did.

They lasted a week, yet were responsible for many weeks worth of added delays to multiple patches.

Worth it? Not really.

It was absolutely worth it if you ask me. The amount of shit patched Mythic gave the US means they actually lost playtime. We didn't, we just got patched a bit later.

Yep, they were EU only. The US players compained about it so much, having to carry round inventories full of single potions.

You could carry more charges of alchemy rather than having to carry 20million pots you just had 2-3 barrells.

When DAOC first started in the UK Goa were absolutely fantastic, the staff were dead keen, events ran all the time!
