What does the transition to Broadsword mean for Dark Age of Camelot?
EA/Mythic and Broadsword are working really hard to make sure that this transition is as smooth as possible. On February 5th, you shouldn’t notice a thing. Going forward, we hope to bring about some exciting new changes, improved Customer Support, and increased correspondence with the DAoC community.
Broadsword’s dedicated team will also work to modernize and improve existing DAoC content, complete long-awaited improvements to The Camelot Herald, and establish compelling new features for Dark Age of Camelot, both in-game and out.

This happened earlier in the month but I figured it might spark some talk on this board since I know a number of posters played UO and/or DAoC.
Essentially what it means for these games is that Mythic/EA has leased the game out to Denton and his company Broadsword. They will take over all of the care taking and development of the game and Mythic will still handle the billing.
A lot of talk around the internet about this and what it means for these games. So far it seems they are trying to get back to the old ways a bit with bringing back the Herald, MyUO, counselor program and increasing community-developer interaction with the Team Leads for UO. Not hard to increase from 0 though, but still I give them credit.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out of these old games and the effect is has on their existing playerbase and returning players. I will admit it has peaked my interest about possibly playing DAoC again.
