Warhammer

Just wondering .... are Mythic going to be using GOA in Europe to deliver this game ?

 

[Oboy]

lets hope not
best would be like blizzard do, host everything alone

 

[Jobbegea]

dunno.
i've read somewhere that mythic gonna open an office somewhere in europe.
but it got canceled or smth

 

[Tio McShire]

So nothing official.

Just out of interest, how any people here would play US version of warhammer to avoid having dealings with GOA ?

That was first mentioned when Imperator was still a going concern.

i'll go where the majority of our lot go tbh

I'm not bothered by which provider gets the job.

Not having a datacentre in France on Opentransit is more important.

(as customers playing both DAoC and WoW have found out).

Well, since most mmorpg companies that ive had dealings with so far have failed to deliver a satisfactory experience, in different ways, to those of us playing their EU version i might look into playing on US for Warhammer. Guess it depends where people i want to play with are willing to play though.

One thing is for sure, if the EU version is hosted in france i wont play it. End of story. And that isnt a dig at GOA, or their customer service which i happen to think of as fairly good, but rather at the abysmall connections/routing etc that always seem to plauge any game hosted in france but magically disappear when its hosted elsewhere.

Should i go play it.. it'll be US, simply because the English speaking community is way larger there.. then it's here.. And with enough EU's there.. there'll be action at EU prime times too..

Spot on

According to Mark Jacobs from Mythic, when he posted on the warhammeralliance forum, he said that Mythic will be opening thier own european office for this game and hosting it themselves.

I would love you to link me to that post, because he never said that at all as far as I can see, and i'm a pretty regular reader of that forum.

Search the page for europe

The quote from MBJ I was referring to is:

28th May 2005

2) All US/European servers will be run by Mythic. We announced the opening of a European office for Mythic a couple of weeks ago and we have every intention of hosting/running those servers.

depends if they keep the bs patch "translation" delays... if they do i'd go US, assuming the game is worth playing ofc.

 

[Soulja_IA_]

PC gamer done a few pages on Warhammer with a talk with mythic about the game looking forward to it's release.

Hopefully they'd learn and design the game for multiple languages from day one. After all, translations of text should just be in a database file, and not need code changes.
