Holy hell! Dark Age of Camelot will never be F2P or even partial F2P. Get over it and STFU!

How much time does it usually take for a patch to go live after it was implemented on Pendragon? Or in other words, any idea when Patch 1.110 approximately will be implemented on Ywain? Thanks.

Many have mentioned a bundled subscription with WAR. It may be possible, but probably not.


I do not know the details of the Games Workshop deal with Mythic (the WarHammer license) but chances are Mythic pays a substantial fee to Games Workshop for each WarHammer subscriber. It very well could be that, once other games were bundled with WarHammer, all the subscribers from the other games in the bundle would also require the same fee-per-subscriber to be paid to Games Workshop.


It would probably not be economically feasible for EA/Bioware/Mythic to include WarHammer with any kind of bundle that would be offered by EA/Bioware/Mythic.

If they did that, depending on the amount, I might jump on it. I wasn't a huge fan of warhammer but I'd try it again for a good deal. Then again, once SWTOR comes out in December, I'll be gone again anyway.

What DAOC player is going to play WAR at this point even if it is bundled together? The time when that might have made sense passed years ago.

Maybe it has nothing to do with f2p and they're planning on attaching daoc subs to SW:Tor, so when that game fails players may pick this one up


Or maybe they just realise this should have been in game from the start, and maybe more new players would have stuck it out rather than assuming the UI was crap and the game unplayable.

Everyone should just play daoc and get things going, tell everyone and their mothers about the game...and have fun The more you play and spread the word wouldnt hurt. Who cares how much those other companys make. Play the game we all love to play and have fun!!!

Even with free 2 play, i wouldn't return if I had to play toa. The classic servers were great, but I will never deal with toa again
