Interesting.. as he is creating this game? :P
I read some interviews a while back, this has received minimal hype, about as much as Garriot's new RPG. MJ was responsible for the down fall of DAoC, he can make all the excuses he wants to (which believe me he has made plenty of already trying to promote this game), but it comes down to him making bad decisions and ultimately running a successful game into the ground. Chasing off hordes of loyal customers in the process.
Matt Firor was the reason DAoC was a good game, and besides simply copying the system I can't see them having much success with MJ at the helm. But hey, prove me wrong.
I also have trouble giving these guys money when they sleep on a mountain of it every night.. |
Oh crap. I didn't know about that. Back then, I didn't really pay attention to specific names - I just loved DAoC while hating Mythic (pretty common sentiments).
Now I'm not so excited anymore.
...but I have been thinking all day about firing up some DAoC again! Hopefully they've made it a bit more solo-friendly now, since my guild and alliance are all long gone.
I fired it up about six months ago, and spent about 30 mins getting re-oriented again before heading out with my zerker. I took two swings at a mob and ran out of endurance, then had to auto-attack it to death, followed by sitting down on the ground for 30 seconds to regenerate enough endurance to pull another mob... and then I started to remember some of the reasons I left for WoW in the first place, and logged off.
