Subject: daoc vs warhammer

Hello dear support
sorry for this e-mail and for your
precious time for reading this.
first of all i want to say congratulations for the
game (dark age of cammelot ) and looking at others
mmorpg games i still think its the best.
Secondly so far i can see warhammer its going to be a
good one too. ( havent seen any ingame trailer). Will
we see when it releases ( cant judge a game before
coming out) And of course i wish i will be good.
Anyway so far dark age of camelot its not going well.
what i mean the normal servers dont reach over 1,1k
ppl every day knowing that full server is 3k ppl. And
that makes me to ask you 1 simple question

after warhammer release will dark age of camelot come
to an end?

thank you for your time

Afaik this has been brought up before. Know i've read some mail, webpage or whatever where Mythic said they wont cancel DAoC when Warhammer arrives seeing as its 2 completely different departments working on either game. :O

 

[NeLSoN]

imo dont wry with the new patches i'm sure that lots of ppl will come back for test it, but dunno what will happen with WH-o

ive read somewhere that no mmorpg that ever had over 250k subscribers in totall at some point never "died" yet.

altho this was a very long time since i heard and im abit unsure about the amount of subscribers too! so i wouldnt worry that daoc dies

wow in total had over 250k afiak.

wow in total had over 250k afiak.

well wow is a different story. when they hit too many subscribers iran will nuke the servers so its all good.

/edit

never worried that daoc would die, even if Warhammer catches a player base, i hope that the die hard 8v8'ers will stay back and make this game even more enjoyable coz no adding ***** etc \o/

 

[Straef]

If I was working for mythic I would definatly be looking to transfer to the war dept for job stability

You'd have job stability anyway though gams! no matter how the game is doing theyll always need someone to bring them tea :worthy:

Isn't Warhammer or any other MMO just the same "type of game" but in a different package? I have to download the 2 trailers I saw on the net to see what it looks like....

I think people try and stick with originals or the first game they played of the genre for as long as possible and most of the time the newer games are really the same but more "fluff".
Quake to me was way better than Quake2 Quake3 and Quake4.
Total Annihilation is one of the best RTS Tank type games, and the follow up was ok but not great. (TA:Kingdoms).
Red Alert2 is one of the best tank games and most of the follow up were a bit pants. What is C&C Generals like though?

There are some new games on the horizon that have caught my eye, Total Annihilation 3 looks interesting and C&C3 is in production I think. I think I also saw System Shock 3 somewhere (I really must finish System Shock 2 one day).

I think once you start playing a MMO, you just don't have much time for all the other games out there. I'm looking forward to Sensible Soccer 2006 though. Anyway, I'm just rambling now, but I don't know whether everyone will leave DAOC to play Warhammer if it is fundementally the same game but just improved graphics.
