Well WoW beta has started, so will be interesting to keep an eye on the population numbers. Going to be an odd week though with 1.71 coming out, the numbers might vary quiet a bit.

Uh, the beta started months ago :kissit:

The real effect on DAoCs numbers wont be clear until after WoWs release, when the initial 1month subscription has run out and people have to choose to continue playing (& paying for) WoW. Plenty of folks will try WoW (either beta or retail) and not continue playing for long.

The US server numbers arent looking too healthy just now (typically 20k users max in evenings rather than closer to 30k pre-WoW), I expect the effect on Euro servers will be similar.

My DAoC accounts are now closed, due to a combination of things: lack of time, other games, NF being no fun and GOAs pathetic handling of the lag problems in recent months.

Im going to try it, but havign betad and tried a whole host of other MMORPG's liek CoH, Eve, Planetside, Wish, Ryzom etc etc, its going to take a hell of a lot for me to cancel DAoC in favour of anything else. Nothing else has that certain something that this game has...

We'll see come the end of Feb..

Nah, just relieving some of the tedium of university work by reading and posting random garbage. :p

Just look at the state of the American servers tbh.

WoW isnt the reason daoc is dying, Mythic's lack of imagination is the real reason. It's had a good run, but this game is dying fast.

Dont expect a large return of players from WoW, most would rather not play a mmorpg than return to daoc.
