GOA addresses WAR's EU issues
Filed under: Fantasy, Business models, Forums, MMO industry, Warhammer Online
Apparently, folks aren't too pleased with the way GOA is handling Warhammer Online over in Europe. If this is news to you, welcome to two months ago. Yet, in their defense, GOA has been working to remedy these concerns and address many of the issues that have been alienating European WAR players since before launch.
In a recent forum post, GOA's Community Manager, Magnus, confronted these problems and let players know that they're not only aware of what's going on, but they're working to fix it. This wasn't quite enough for one blogger at Books of Grudges who described their frustration at what they say "smacks of PR." If the on-going issues with GOA have been affecting you lately, check out the Magnus post and the Book of Grudges response. You may find that you share their opinion.

To be fair, since that post we've had transfers announced, hotfixes quite fast, a new CM appointed and now our Realm War pages are live.
So I'm back to being hopeful again, but with a tendency towards cynicism!

I have had some communications with GOA leading up to WARs release, and certainly only ever found them pleasant and mostly-competent.
Never really gotten the point of even having two sites - plenty of other MMOs manage accounts around the world with a single site, and the status of EU updates could easily be communicated via the launcher.
I did stop by the new EU Realm War though - looked up my former-main, flicked around a few top-player charts full of players that aren't me... the end.
Not seeing what all the fuss was about, myself.
