If you look at the site, you see that DAoC was happy and healthy right up until the release of ToA.
These started gaining popularity around the time that ToA came out, and the issue may have overwhelmed them (or Mackey was probably just being his usual prickish self when that issue was brought up by others).
were kept in the dark pretty much right through release.Īnother factor (and Mackey played a part in this) was the inability (or unwillingness) of Mythic to deal with buffbots. Team Leads, members of the internal boards, etc. Follow a cast of your favorite characters in a brand new adventure, as their mettle is The staff. Also, Trials of Atlantis did so much damage to the game that it never really recovered: Mackey (sorry I don't recall his real name) was probably one of the most abrasive and downright hostile community relations individuals that has ever been at Mythic (or pretty much any gaming company for a position like that).
