I'm Sorry, I Can't Resist This....

On the GOA web-page today appears the following (my emphasis in bold):

[13-06-2005] Dark Age of Camelot on your mobile

A few months ago we asked you about your mobile phones and since many of you own a high performance phone we have the pleasure to offer you a DAoC WAP site available starting today. This is completely new in Europe for a massively multiplayer online game and makes Dark Age of Camelot even more complete.

This is a free pilot service - although you need WAP access from your phone operator - which will bring new developments to those who can take advantage of them. Currently you can read the titles and headlines of the last 8 newposts and access data mostly similar to that displayed by the Roll of Honour. It will give you the status of the war room - list of the towers and keeps and name of the guilds that are claiming them, status of the relics - as well as some statistics - guilds, tradeskills, characters of a guild. It can also give you the rankings - alliances, guilds, characters.

..

So now we can get weeks-old out-of-date Roll of Honour info on our mobiles too

Wouldn't you have thought they might have fixed this before announcing a new way to get out-of-date data?

Sorry GOA, but I ain't gonna even try this service until I can be sure you've got your info systems working properly.

For heavens' sake, do you guys know ANYTHING about marketing to your customers?

Sheeeesh

I know they're trying Satyn, and I titled my post that I couldn't resist the temptation as a bit of semi-joke. It is meant to be half-light-hearted, but also half serious. The serious bit is that it is about time the Roll of Honour is fixed.

It could be worse, GOA could've just wasted the last 2 months developing a new server type that no existing customers give a flying fuck about because bots are so entrenched into the game that they can't just be given range limits on buffs to solve the problem like a certain other well known company just has

Not for a while I'm afraid.

Two of my accounts expire this month, the other next April, so I will be playing that account but it is my alb bb account. My Hibernia days end on the 25th June.
