DAOC numbers are saddening

[Antiochene]

I know that this is a warhammer site, but I know that many of us came from Dark Ages. I just went to the camelotherald to checkout how many people are playing DAOC. Worldwide there are 2,207 players. With the North American servers having 1424 players on.

What is Mythic going to do with it now?

Some of you probably have a better idea than I because this is the first MMO that I played.

I can speculate that they are going to do things like Killibury cluster and the Devon cluster. Kill off Pendragon and Mordred (which only has 13 people playing on it). Gaheris only has 164 on it so it might see the chopping block also.

Do they just keep it up and scale back the support until it is unprofitable then announce they are closing it down?

Master Server is what they will be doing in the end.....or give a discount to play both games. I know alot cant afford both, so had to choose.

My DAoC account was finally cancelled as of yesterday. End of an era.

My main one closes next week.....6yrs.....War acct was opened exactly 6yrs 1 week after Daocs. And yes, it was grand while it lasted, all of it.

In a wierd twist of events, I've actually had some of my most fun runs in DAOC lately. I don't know why...

Recently, my group of friends who play, finally decided to leave the Labby and run outside with rams and start taking towers or helping claim a keep. The small numbers mean that you have much smaller 'zergs' running around and honestly, we've been having a blast just taking on small teams of enemy players, fighting over towers and keeps. A zerg now is 2fg's!

In general, the smaller population, since the drop off from all the people moving to Warhammer, has been a huge boon to my enjoyment of the game. Freaky wierd, isn't it?

Sounds like the way it was on Nimue prior to the creation of Tintagel!

When I went to resub to WAR I resubbed to DAoC for a month. I doubt I will play DAoC much but I might as well poke around a bit and see what it looks like. Now to see if I can find all my discs hehe

You shouldn't actually need the discs. You can just download the trial client and use your real account instead.
