DAOC Status

That's the idea. The publicity wave will break at around the time of the Catacombs release for maximum effect. At that time you'll see a lot of advertising in many different formats - TV and cinema ads, magazines, flyers, banner ads on websites etc. Remember that most printed media has a lead time of about 3 months so the work that we were doing at Christmas is only now starting to come to fruition.

Well i got myself Wow, i'm giving it a bash , but i am keeping my main account open for now. i will give catacombs a good shot ( giv banshee imo). I'm not going get into which one is better or worse, but on of the biggest problems for me is lagg, from what iv'e noticed playing different on line games is that Daoc is extremly lagg intollerent. Some games i can play but while with the same conditions daoc will ld every 15 mins or so.

anyways. I'm looking forward to it, and i can honestly say that if "Toast" is going to be any of the adds then expect at least 1 irish guy to be thrown out of the cinema for LoL'ing ;P

i just cant believe that freddys house is being more optomistic than we are :cheeky:

its not that im not being optimistic ive enjoyed daoc and i was looking forward to catacombs.

But from running ml raids on excal and only have 2 out of the 6 ive run go without a hitch and when ive required help had none available IE ld deaths, mass link deads etc thats my only bone the reason why its gone from fun to lame in about 6 months.

Ill beleive it when i see things catacombs might be fun but at the moment the game is being ruined by crap lag/lds etc etc.

I really hope catacombs can drag people back again, miss the old times when there were lots of people online. Crossed fingers, hope GoA can make a good job marketing

all my ml raids were planned at least a week in advance and have been posted on the mid excal section of freddys house, ive had good turn out the only problems ive had was the large link deaths ie from a 80 man bg loosing around 50 people a pop.

Its not as if i do these as a spare of the moment i have planned them.
