They gave exactly 1 minute warning before downing the servers! I barely had time to campfire out of my mission.
As long as the game continues to put out new content, is up more than down and stops biting the hands that feed it, there isn't much to complain about on my end. Issues arise when "management" loses sight of the big picture of what is or is not what players actually want. Going off on a tangent and spending resources on something no one every imagined asking for, (a.k.a. the new Perks) in hopes of generating more revenue, but pulling it out of thin air and just dumping it on everyone, is an omen many will read into as some ominous future. They need a "Tact Szar" and retire the Hammer that currently resides over product development/roll outs.
Honestly your going to have to ask me in about six more months, I don't expect instant changes with new owners. in game warning may have been short, but it was at least up on the website yesterday, and this issue I think may have been big enough to warrant a mid-month fix due to impacting TLP's heavy with AoC not working (even if live could live with them broken for a month).
I don't think the new ownership is going to "do" anything or make many changes if any.
They bought the game as an investment. Not to doodle in and ruin something that works fine for 22 years. Smart investors do not mess with a proven producer. So any changes would still be under the control of the employees who have been doing it for years.
Yes, they may get "direction" but EG7 is an investment company, not a game company.
Look it up:
EG7 is a global gaming cooperative comprised of established companies from around the world that specialize in video game entertainment such as Daybreak Games, ...
They are not hands on. No time.
And most of the money facts in any of those reports can be made up. I know many business who "pad" the figures to qualify for loans or to sell properties to make them look better.
If you have ever worked for a large company then you know how far removed the head guys are from the actual work being done.

For some reason I was under the impression that they hired a bunch of new people had were putting more money into the game. Relatively speaking of course. Where did I hear that from?
