	Kraskil posted: Mythic became severely cashed strapped after pulling the plug on Imperator and after picking up the Warhammer Online franchise. Imperator could have been a sweeping success because it WAS different and unique, but oh well. Had Mythic not sold out to EA, the company would had folded years ago. Origins was a victim because it would had been a waste of badly needed resources imho. Frankly, Origins would have been appealing from a nostalgia standpoint, but overall, it would had been just been a watered down shell of DAoC. After the newness wore off, Origins would more than likely devolved into an even worse version of the "Classic" servers. This is something I've definitely considered many times over. I wonder how MMOs would have gone if Imperator had come out? -----signature----- E- 80% K- 60% S- 40% A- 20% "That thing you burnt up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit.

	EA-Mythic is on life support, with 3 games that are waiting for someone to "flip" the switch off. I think its pretty safe to say that anyone left with talent at EA is working on the new star wars game. All of their eggs are in the Star wars basket at the moment and if it fails, expect them to drop it to life support too. Then they'll start a new project, who knows what it will be, but that's how they opperate.

	Jumo_007 posted: . . .do you have the power . . . to stand up and push for something??? Once Mythic was sold no one at Mythic has the power anymore. Also, if you consider that EA bought the pabulum fed to them by MJ, no one at EA has a clue. Jumo_007 posted: While we know you can't recapture what was so precious to us when the game was new to us, there must also be something better than the present situation. They just do not understand the psychology behind the dynamics of â€œwhat was so preciousâ€. Most do not understand it. To recreate it (or to come close) they must first understand it but it could be recreated. Jumo_007 posted: Mythic told us that the DAoC base would not be forgotten during the WAR development . . . . And this is one of the big underlying problems with the game design. MJ always seemed to find a way to weasel out from a statment. He never seemed to understand the customer. MJâ€™s management philosophy permeates through Mythic and destroys any possibility of success. Lori tried to change the management system and provide more openness/transparency and we see where that went. angryranger posted: If these guys had taken 5% of the resources used for Failhammer and put them against DAOC2, they'd have had a huge hit. Instead....they have the biggest failure in MMO history. LOL. I totally agree with you on this. Ruinorz posted: . . . . I also realize that you can't capture that special time we all experienced back in 2001-2002, BUT you could come close. Origins was a step in the right direction. They had a poll up on the Herald for quite awhile with a majority in favor of Origins. They got online and told us how great it was all going to be,. . . Then someone at EA / Mythic / Bioware flipped a switch and suddenly, silence... All that grand talk, design posts and the like just went away. I couldn't believe it. . . . While EA gets the blame for much of the stupidity that transpired after EA purchased Mythic, the Origin/stonewall/silence/etc. . . those happenings are typical of MJ and I am not so sure that EA forced the Origins team over to work on Warhammer and I am not sure EA demanded the cone of silence that plopped onto the DAoC customers. It seems right inline with MJâ€™s way of running things and it is more likely that MJ panicked and forced the self-destructive actions all on his own. angryranger posted: The people in charge lack the character and integrity to do anything I can trust. We need a completely different crew, different leaders and honest developers. All Mythic would do would be to say one thing and do exactly the opposite. Ever since their lies about toa, they've proven they cannot be trusted. It does seem that way. It is unfortunate that MJ seemed to have built a faulty management design. I am sure that there are good people still at Mythic but I am not sure anything could be salvaged. Kraskil posted: Imperator could have been a sweeping success because it WAS different and unique, but oh well. Sezyrrith posted: This is something I've definitely considered many times over. I wonder how MMOs would have gone if Imperator had come out? Imperator would have flopped just as WarHammer. Mythic was being misdirected. Also, many of the key people that lead to DAoCâ€™s initial success were gone or in the process of leaving. Limperator would not have done well. -----signature----- The art of war is simple enough.

	mythic never could be trusted. deceitful from toa onward. even if they made daoc2, I don't think they'd do it right. They haven't demonstrated an understanding of what made daoc1 great.

	EA cash cows all of its products. From Fifa to Command and Conquer and from DAOC to Warhammer. All they do is change a tiny little thing and release console games under a different name. They don't believe in the strongest form of marketing, mouth-to-mouth. -----signature----- Ferelenze - 11L9 Theurgist - Guildmaster of OutIaw Owned by Acery: http://vnboards.ign.com/ywain/b23441/113872726/p1/?18
