[Comment From MoneoMoneo: ]
The most important question: What up with the transfer Glamorgan -> Ywain, is it finally coming?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:24 Moneo
3:25
Davidinho:
I can't give a definite yes or no right this moment, but we are definitely looking at Glamorgan closely.

Davidinho:
I haven't forgotten the WAR players. We love you guys! Ready for questions, keep em coming!

Davidinho:
Carrie - The news is all being shared at GamesCom, but the press are hitting up a lot of different places, so they need time to write it up! If you're eager for WAR news, keep an eye out there, we're giving several interviews a day!

[Comment From Psychoic Psychoic: ]
What common content will be shared between the differing RvR Packs?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:29 Psychoic
3:31
Davidinho:
Carrie - The content that is shared between the different packs is different in theme in some respect (power, progression, personality) but they all share that they tie into the RVR experience in some way. This pack, unlike LoTD is RVR focused, in everything we're doing.

[Comment From Khazar Khazar: ]
well, what are the future plans for DAOC, are you revealing it here or maybe later in the gamescom?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:36 Khazar

Davidinho:
Stuart - The future of DAoC is quite bright. Now that we have the EU players under the Mythic umbrella we want to focus more on giving everyone the best possible play experience. We have done a few Live Events and will continue running them into the future. We are also working on a Multi-Lingual server so French, German, and English speaking players can all play together.

[Comment From Multani Multani: ]
Do you not fear that the up of renow rank up to 100 will not make the game more difficult for the new player against well equiped player ?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:40 Multani
3:40
Davidinho:
Carrie - Gonna try to answer a couple things about the RR questions. RR 81-100 will be difficult, but we are going to help players who haven't hit RR80 yet to get up there. We're very aware of power gap problems and will be keeping that in mind for new players and alt-a-holics.
Friday August 20, 2010 3:40 Davidinho
3:44
Davidinho:
Stuart - Yes, Chris, we ALL know that DAoC is the best MMO *looks at Carrie* but right now we want to focus on the things that make DAoC so awesome. That is why we are doing Live Events and such. It's partly the players that make DAoC so good, and we want to make sure we have a fun experience for you guys (and gals),

Carrie- You said the future of WAR would be announce in the end of summer, will there be an official annoucement soon?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:46 Khaldar

Davidinho:
Carrie - The RVR pack is what I'm referring to as the future of WAR, and we're very excited about it. Of course more details will come as we continue to talk about it, at GamesDay there will be a full presentation on the stuff we're telling the press here, additionally I have a producer's letter coming up... etc.

[Comment From Ivan Reynoso Ivan Reynoso: ]
Is the new RvR zone going to be accessible without purchasing the RvR Pack?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:48 Ivan Reynoso

Davidinho:
Yes, but a lot of the cool stuff that you can get from the RVR zone won't be!

[Comment From Oberheim Oberheim: ]
When "moving away from the huge expansion pack system every 2 years." How ofted do you plan to release new packs?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:49 Oberheim

Davidinho:
Carrie - Depends on you guys, which ones you like, etc. We have lots of ideas and plans!

[Comment From cyric cyric: ]
Is making the Renown Rank process smoother in the lower Ranks going to be done by changing the amount you need to earn for those Ranks ?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:50 cyric
3:51
Davidinho:
Carrie - More likely going to involve renown-boosting buffs. But the important thing is that it will be easier!

[Comment From Khannage Khannage: ]
Does the RVR packs include updates to the SC system. Made something to help more casual R40 players against those steam rolling pre-mades?
Friday August 20, 2010 3:52 Khannage
3:53
Davidinho:
Carrie - We are focusing on ORVR, but we are doing some investigation around SC matchmaking as we're aware of the community concern.

[Comment From Heiko S. (Leiunn) - DAoC Heiko S. (Leiunn) - DAoC: ]
(DAoC) Are there any plans to make Warriors more needed in RvR? At the moment Warriors are not needed/wanted in rvr.
Friday August 20, 2010 3:53 Heiko S. (Leiunn) - DAoC
3:54
Davidinho:
Stuart - We are going through all the careers to make sure that they viable in DAoC and RvR especially. In this last patch (1.105) we focused on the Bainshee, but other classes will be coming down the line.
Friday August 20, 2010 3:54 Davidinho

[Comment From Eaderbreca Eaderbreca: ]
In DAoC, Is there a plan to update the Enchanter RR5 with a more useful ability? The entire community feels it is, currently, lackluster.
Friday August 20, 2010 3:55 Eaderbreca
3:56
Davidinho:
Stuart - In addition to class balance, we will also be looking at the RR5 abilities and making changes where necessary. I can't give details on when, but it is definitely being discussed around the office.

Davidinho:
Carrie - Sorry guys! Last question!
Friday August 20, 2010 3:57 Davidinho
3:58
Davidinho:
Yes, as a part of the pack, we are doing updates to the ORVR mechanics, which will tie into the Skaven theme very nicely
Friday August 20, 2010 3:58 Davidinho
3:59
Davidinho:
Carrie - And we're off to more interviews. I know you're all hungry for info. and we love your excitement about the game. The press and bloggers we're meeting here need to get back to their hotels and home to write stuff up... so the info is coming! Also we will be recapping what we did here in the monthly producer's letters and more info in the coming weeks and upcoming events!
