How much does anyone think that Mythic's (the DAOC people) trademark infringement accusation had on Gates' canning Mythica?  C'mon, People, start up those black helicopters and give me some comments.

    Sigil (Vanguard) is more to blame for the Mythica cancelation than Mythic is.

    How many times are you going to post this Billus?

    DAoC had NO effect on Mythica.

    MS canceled funding to Mythica because it was sub-par, and bring the game up to level would require more money than they were willing to spend, with sigil games just a year or two out with a gave above level it didn't make sense to keep paying for Mythica.

    I don't understand the obsession with a game that never existed. Yes, it's fun to pretend Mythica was something out of your dreams, it's easy since it never came to pass. But it was canned for being sub-par. Had Mythica been released you wouldn't have played it, or not for long, and this would be a flood of "Mythica" sucks posts.

    Zero effect.Just a lame excuse by some of the mythica fans .

    Fact is M$ saw the market getting too saturated and was not ready to spent money if they were not sure they would gain.

    Proof? 1)they said so themselves that the market was looking crowded when they announced that mythica is been canned.

    2)they sold out the other 2 mmorgs they already had namely AC1 and AC2.

    So DAoC had nada to do with it.

    Yeah.. Mythic's lawsuit against M$ had nothing to do with the cancellation of Mythica. Microsoft would have easily have fought the case with Mythic if the game was to continue. You keep forgetting that Microsoft is worth like 100 billion dollars. You really think they wouldn't fight a lawsuit if it was worth fighting?

    Still, Mythica was going to be another me-too MMORPG game, it would not be smart to go up against World of Warcraft, EQ2 and many of the other popular MMORPG's that are coming out this year. I think Microsoft is looking for a MMORPG that will hold 500,000 subscribers at all times and Mythica wasn't the game to do this; so they canned it. Smart move if you ask me. They will probably do better with True Fantasy Online.
