Expansion

TraceGaleIII

Are Labrinth of the Minotaur and Darkness Rising Free downloads from their website or do i have to pay after downloading the game.

You pay for a cd key type of thing so you can activate them.  You can download them for free it's just that if you want them to be tagged onto your account you have to fork over some cash.

I think that is part of the problem with some of these older MMO's. They start to die off and the managing company does ZERO to entice new players.

At this point would it kill them to do a monthly special pricing like Turbine did with LotR or price all of the expansions into one set like EQII with its newest release, or maybe a free activation weekend like CoX does every once in awhile for its old players?

Some sort of marketing promotion, anything, probably could have made a difference.....then WTF do I know? I guess they are "ok" with watching the pops whither and die off over the years and try to figure out ways to cluster servers together rather then get more subscribers. There is no reason DAoC shouldn't still be a top MMO aside from the fact Mythic gives a rats tail about it and is focusing on WAR.

I stopped playing DAoC regularly about 4 years ago and the ONLY email I ever recieved from Mythic (aside from the cancel notice) was a message about 6 months ago that my house had run out of money. Now thats marketing!

Seriously.  They need to make everything up to the current expansion free for anyone willing to commit to a tw oor three month sub.  It's insane for them to twiddle their thumbs while the population of a game that utterly depends on a good population to make one of the core mechanics work dwindles.
