Bitching about the past isn't going to change the future....the point is now toa isn't a problem at all people kept saying its hard for new players to rvr blah blah and now look at everything....u don't even have to step foot out of hall of heroes to get artis and shiz rendering whole zones worthless...but the cry babies are happy because everything is dumbed down...yet people STILL cry that its to hard to level get geared and everything


I mean I got level 35 on a ment within a few days just from the bg quests leveling has never been easier


And gear...u don't need a legit temp to zerg and u get tons of bps/scales from keeps just join one and run noone cares what u wear


And there's ml10s going on constantly

The point is people are always going to cry unless they start a new char and its 50 cl10 ml10 fully geared speced and givin 200p so they don't have to do anything


THATS what is killing daoc


The cry babies

The main points of the quoted article, have been made by me (accused ToA fanboy) more than once, in this very thread. And nice job exaggerating the 2/3rds loss of players without mentioning the release of WoW. Was ToA a failure? Yep.
Don't think anyone in this thread is arguing it wasn't.

The question, at least from my perspective, is why? Why was it a failure? The content was quality - even the raids, although I disagree with the lengthy requirements they originally entailed - it was the lack of a "level playing field," as I've stated many times.

Nice to see there is published work out there that agrees with me.
