The thing I love about Mythic is that it seems like all the developers are very genuine people, trying to get you to buy their game by being honest and listening to its fans and beta testers. If they succeed with WAR (I think they will, played PW) then they will become the new standard for MMO makers.
I think Mythic has always deserved more positive recognition than they have received. In the history of MMORPG's DAoC was the first game to utterly capture my heart and soul. Mythic was the first to provide highly detailed patch notes whenever they patched DAoC. They always included quality of life fixes and additions to DAoC with each patch. And most of all, their patches consistently fixed bugs and rarely created new ones.
Everyone may not aggree with some of the changes they made to DAoC over the years, but they have always been honest and open about the changes. In this industry, where many developers don't seem to care about their customers personally, Mythic always made me feel cared for. Yeah, this got a little more lovey-dovey than I expected. But like I was saying: I don't think Mythic has gotten the appreciation from the MMORPG community that it really deserves. I feel confident that their handling of WAR will be successful.
I'm so glad I quit AoC, cause after reading how Charon reacted to it and the comments of other posters, I have seen first hand now just how piss poor Funcom is and how they are handling their own mess. Funcom is stopping at nothing to becoming the worst MMO company in history. SOE can finally relax now I guess, lol.
I'm going to burn for this one but i think you are correct $OE is off the hook.
