Oh bollox. Is this the end?

From Aithne btw:

"According to the Business Wire, Electronic Arts is to acquire Mythic Entertainment, makers of the popular MMORPGs Dark Age of Camelot and the forthcoming Warhammer Online. With EA being well known for killing MMORPGs, even those with loyal and sizable followings, how does this bode for Mythic's titles?"

Maybe I am weird, but I dont understand what this will do to DAoC

unelss they decide to pull people from the DAoC staff over to WAR.

Awful news tbh.

It's no coincidence that since EA absorbed almost every game dev. house out there innovation has been stifled and games have got generic and boring. Countless sets of fantastic IP has been destroyed and wasted by EA take overs, e.g. the C&C series

EA is extremely bad for the industry.

almost totally seconded, except about C&C

I could not agree more C&C is a really good case in point they totally destroyed that series. I simply can't think of worse news than this - I can understand Mythic but even so this is nothing short of a disaster for DAOC.

on the up side however they do overwork their dev peons horribly and turn out games quick (bugged normally) so Warhammer would come out quicker than peeps expect

Next daoc patch
if you dont pick up loot then your char could have the possibility to die by flies.
Also there is the chance a satalite could drop out of the sky and kill them
