Gameservers for the 2005 series of sportgames... seeing as they will soon release the 2007 series (yes these usually get released before the actual year in their title) this isn't to unexpected.

Oh no .. I mean d000000000m

wishfull thinking. suspect they do it more for warhammer online.

daoc is probably pretty damn far down EA's PR list.

Can't believe people actually think this has ANYTHING to do with DAoC or Warhammer what so ever.

Their gamer servers encountered an error processing too many games called 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005.... and they couldnt spell "millennium edition".

Prepare for daoc 2006 ultra edition, byebye Prydwen and co.

 

[Dorimor1]

Why is everyone judging EA already? Yes they may have made mistakes in the past but there is no way of telling how well or badly they will do with DAoC, jesus.

 

[evzy]

DAoC, jesus.

Is that the new toon? I thought it was a Minotaur?

EA warned that although servers will shut down on the named dates and players can continue to log in until the closure time, "certain community programs may begin to close down prior to the shutdown dates".

To prevent mass whine from people on the 'official boards'?
