Up Yours GOA!
« on: June 30, 2010, 12:06:57 PM »
Goa will no longer be the EU distributor of WAR.

Mythic are doing it themselves.

Too little too late, but still its hilarious!!!

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Lol :)

Well they didn't listen to the collective cries about not allowing pre-orders to register beforehand when they launched either :P

Goa has been a complete and utter failure and is in my opinion one of the main reason WAR! failed, expanding the servers like they did in the begining was doomed to make for empty servers.

The right decission, sadly a couple years late. GOA was a failure already during beta, and it didn't exactly get better after launch...

Press release:

Quote
BioWare Mythic assumes responsibility for WAR in Europe immediately. Once the transition begins, access to European servers for WAR will be suspended for 48 to 72 hours as new servers are brought online. The full game will then be accessible and to celebrate all current and former European subscribers will receive 14 days of free gameplay. Standard billing rates will resume after this free* game play period.

All characters and account information will be migrated to BioWare Mythic servers and be available to present and past players. In addition, new players will be able to create a free endless trial account.

woot - even ex subscribers get time :D

Apparently the freetime started yesterday.

I cant login mind, as I forgot my passwords.  So I changed one - can log into the old GOA site, but not mythics and cant login to the game at all :(

Does anyone have any luck with their original accounts? My (once) paid account seems to have disappeared. I already had trouble logging into it with the Tier 1 free to play, so I didnt think and created a 2nd account, but now I look into it further the Mythic site seems not to recognize my original username etc., just the one I used for the free account.  :-[

Try adding _EUR to the end of your username.

Im fucked because I cant recall the password to either my old main acct or the free account (the l10 one) and if I change them (which I tried with one) then Mythic dont even see that change as they only received the old password.

So, I changed my password for my mythic master account (same as my goa/war-eu acct details), then changed the games password from inside there. It works :D

Just fucking about with patches and such now.
