DAoC probably isn't GOA's top priority anymore, it's a fairly old game that has been losing customers like mad lately, maybe it has like a 4. priority to them, which sucks, but is understandable. I don't know how many jobs GOA take on at a time, but the fact that their only way of income via DAoC has been down for weeks, in my eyes, indicate they have something else brewing somewhere. Can't blame them if that's the case, but if they had some common decency (spelled incorrectly, I know) they would at least inform their costumers on a ETA and reason why this is taking so long.
And should this be their only way to make money, I'd have to say (although I dislike whining) : GOA you're doing a piss poor job

Its been down since the 22nd August - 13 days and counting!

Complete lack of customer service and they dont respond to or acknowledge emails!

Considering the European market has more players than the US, I must admit im shocked that it has lasted this long....

Go to goa website:D

www.goa.com and you see:


Top jeux


1 Dark Age of Camelot 20041 Joueurs
2 HL/Counterstrike ® 331 Joueurs
3 Age of Empires 2 ® 196 Joueurs
4 Warcraft 3 ® 60 Joueurs

If the game that has 2/4 -> 3/4 of their entire gaming population's not worth a effort... damn wonder what's their real way of making money.

Dont forget GOA's top priority is the development of their own mmorpg, called Ryzom. The game world consists of a single tree, and people play pixies and bugs and other such crap. Really seems like they are trying to ditching being a licencee for other people's games and develop their own. To be honest, it seems like some mad marketing person has decided to try and target the under 10 market, which is crazy as they have no money.

http://www.ryzom.com/

Once they've got this finished and launched, I suspect they'll wind down their DAOC support and maintainence. They wont cancel it as they will have a contract with Mythic for a set period of time, but they'll just leave it to rot. Much like Blizzard have done with Diablo 2 these days, as their focus moves on to other products.

With so many mmorpgs coming within the next 6-12 months, the market will be seriously overcrowded, and there will be a lot of casualties. Only the biggest and best will really survive, and I cannot for the life of me see Ryzom as being among them. The core market for these games, are males aged 20-35, and while others certainly do play, this group makes up the majority of gamers and therefore the majority of cash. Ryzom really seems to be aiming at different sectors and as such will crash and burn horribly.
Will be interesting to see if they turn back to supporting DAOC after it does.

@ the_smurflord:

Holy shit that sucks! We are GOAs bit on the side?!? WTF Really, really bad...Mythic should find another company to give its franchise to. Hopefully mythic will see the diabolical job GOA has done over the past two weeks and do something.
