Daoc is not dying, daoc is already dead.
This is a discussion forum for the english DAoC server known as Prydwen

After all those years, it feels as if the place really existed at some point. It's weird to think that one day they will pull the plug and everything will go 'puff' and all the places you visited will no longer be. It would be nice to have a final event if the servers ever closed, even if i doubt this will ever happen.
They will never "pull the plug". Only thing that will happen is that they will stop doing patches for the game and the monthly fee will dissapear(Anarchy Online for example).Argyleyn wrote:If daoc dies, where will all our characters go and what will happen to Mag Mell and Tir Na Nog?

Btw, is UO still alive or they pulled the plug?
edit: Ok, i found UO is alive but they have made some samurai and ninja expansions, i would rather see a game i play die before it turns from a western europe fantasy setting to double dragon extreme and see ninja elves around me! Why not put zulu warriors next to Lord British as well, doesn't sound too far off, does it?!
woot GOA maintain the servers - do you think they know that?Argyleyn wrote: I can see what you are saying though, even if i don't understand why they would cut the monthly fee alltogether, maintenance of the server still has its expenses.

Servers cost money to run and maintain. Without any revenue from monthly subscriptions Mythic won't keep the servers running indefinitely. Yes they might for a period of time as a goodwill gesture (especially if DAOC 2 or Warhammer is doing well and they have lots of income) but eventually the plug will be pulled.Grymligast wrote:They will never "pull the plug".

Support for the game etc will dissapear but aslong as there are any players left the servers will remain.
