Did i say this was happening for sure? Nope dont believe so. I said it was a rumor, read the title. Believe it or not i really could care less, just posting what i heard. I got it from a guy who got it from THE dude. So i say its a rumor. EA doesnt want anymore let-downs so they arent sure on either a re-vamped or a daoc2 or maybe not even either. Thats what i was told. Now you know it



From a business standpoint, I can see "No more let-downs" as correct.

EA Mythic will probably have to work on something that was designed by another game software studio, or be allowed to work on a completely new design, if the new design is feasible enough.

Right now, EA Mythic could cash in on an DAoC Origins project by getting some people in there to rig DAoC to have an Origins server that players can connect to. The amount of money would range from trivial to "who knows" but it wouldn't be a lot. It would at least serve to strengthen Mythic's trust with the players that they lost from expansions, and hey, free content. More dedication to their fans.

A revamped Dark Age of Camelot can happen if EA Mythic separates from EA, becomes an independent game studio, and all the original Dark Age of Camelot developers return with the rights and property to the game, or at least software engineers that are thrilled by the idea of revamping Dark Age of Camelot, because a revamped DAoC 1 only would serve to show how awesome Mythic's dedication has been to their current fans like an Origins server would.

A Dark Age of Camelot 2 could become feasible after EA Mythic creates something else completely new, because while a DAoC 2 could make money, the risk of it is too great. EA most likely wants to see very low risk. I can see Mythic wanting a 2nd chance to show the world that they can do better than Warhammer.

On wikipedia, it says Mythic was founded in the mid 90s, and I guess Dark Age of Camelot came out around 1999-2000. So it's about a 10 to 15 year old game company. Surely it can run a lot longer than 15 years. I know I would like to see it run longer.

Mythic stole my ideas for Trials of Atantis(No proof), Darkness Rising(No proof), and A Dragon's Revenge( http://vnboards.ign.com/daoc_general_board/b5176/104791665/p1 ). Yes. Proof there.

They took them and did not even give me a free months subscription. Bastards. By the way. I also told them to do away with buffbots so TOA would not be overpowered. Those idiots did not listen. If they had TOA would have ruled. I think it did anyways.

Bottem line is this. DAOC 1.5 would be foolish. I know EXACTLY what do do with DAOC 2 and, if you dumbasses at EA MYTHIC have any sense about you, you will pay ME for it.

It would be the greatest DAOC PVP/PVE game .............ever. Take a chance if you dare.

End of Line.



HAHAHAHAHA

I heard a rumor the OP eats corn on the cob the long way. Probably not as far fetched as DAOC 2 or 3 coming out.

Although i think that DAOC 2 or a revamped version of DAOC is a good idea EA wont give Mythic any funding since Warhammer Bombed. right now EA is putting all their eggs into Bioware for Starwars. But Starwars will soon discover just like EVERY OTHER MMO that uses 1v1 PvP that it doesnt work. Mythic and Bioware will just eventully get asorbed into EA and sease to exist.

Perhaps the division of BioWare that is making SWTOR. Do not forget that the other BioWare studios have produced major hits like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Hell, Dragon Age 2 comes out next spring.

I'm sure a lot of companies have ganked ideas for games from feedback and other forms. I remember sending in a VERY long feedback on hunters saying that they should give them fire shots, poison shots and such as well as fix a lot of other things, A few months later, we have hunters as they are now with all those items. I'm also pretty sure I'm responsible for the game Command & Conquer Renegade (and yes I do have proof in a folder that contains all the ideas.) I sent in as part of a school project, a letter to 4 game companies with my idea (including westwood studios.) A few years later, CnC renegade came out. It probably would have been sooner if the hardware and software could have supported it at the time of the letters being sent out ('97.) I'm sure there are plenty more out there with similar situations.


As for the ot, I as well check here every so often hoping for a DAoC 2. I don't think it will happen. They may debate it but, it just isn't going to happen. I'd love to eat my words but sadly, I think I'll be going hungry.

In a couple of recent threads here, there has been some speculation on what Mythic/EA/Bioware has up their sleeves for DAoC. I think I know what is coming for the last (or hopefully just the next) big hurrah for this game. Check out these screen shots (note: they were taken in 2010!) and see what conclusion you come to....
