автор Today we announced that GOA will soon cease the publishing and operation services of WAR in Europe resulting in the handover of the rights back to Mythic Entertainment.
Итог: GOA отдает права на дистрибуцию ВХО обратно Мификам, все серверы будут продублированы на немецкие сервера(наверное, ЕАшные). Скорее всего, будет открыт трансфер с Европы в Северную Америку и обратно.
Understandably this is big news and we're sure many speculations will arise over the reasoning, however we wish to enforce that this action is no reflection on Warhammer Online as a product. We'll be able speak regarding the reasoning's in the next few weeks and I'd like to clarify that both Mythic and GOA are still on very good terms.
We wish to assure you all characters, guilds and account information will be migrated to Mythic servers and be available to present and past players.
Over the past couple of years we have fostered a fantastically vibrant and active community; we saw the world first Tchar'Zanek and Karl Franz kills pre 1.3.5 and hosted undeniably the most professional and hardcore guilds in WAR.
We've made great efforts to improve our level of community interaction these last twelve months. It goes without saying that we started off on bad footing and had a rather complicated launch; however it's safe to say this has changed significantly and we've really enjoyed working with you all. It hasn't been uncommon to see us In-Game, run regular competitions. Events and be an ever visual presence in IRC channels and fan and guild sites. Shortly before the new year the GOA community Management team began working on a fully fledged WAR tournament, which would have been run regularly to showcase the best teams in Europe and award them with very epic gifts inside and outside of the game.
Many hours went into this project, we were approved and ready to rumble, though due to the evolving nature of organizations and the for mentioned changes we realized we had to cancel its launch permanently. These things happen!
A short while ago we began our Class Leader program who represent their own communities and give precise feedback which has been seen a great success to assist development and understanding of the European play styles, these very important players will find their new position as WAR Oracles once they transfer to the Mythic service to carry on their most excellent work.
These next few weeks we will be continuing to work very closely with the Mythic Team to ensure you all get settled as smoothly as possible.
I'd like to take this opportunity as a personal thank you to all for being a part of the GOA Warhammer Online community, a huge thank you to Warhammer Alliance for their continued coverage and the IRC channel regulars for all the good banter and last but not least a thank you to my past and present colleagues Ryoshu, Nenyel, Ganeox, Imaad and Nilax who have helped make these last year's so enjoyable.
We'll have more information and answers to any concerns in a FAQ
