Europeans Find Trouble In Camelot

Thanks to GamesRadar for their investigation into trouble with the European version of Dark Ages Of Camelot, following an earlier 'hacking incident' on the PC MMORPG. The piece discovers that: "Customers say access to their subscription accounts and ability to contact GOA.com (who hosts servers for the Mythic Entertainment game in the UK, France and Germany) was disabled without notice by the company, who later went on to disable all game passwords as well. Subsequent statements about time frames for services to return to normal have not been met." GOA's comments on the lack of notice: "...we were unable to communicate that this was a hack in order to prevent further attacks or damage."

One more reason so many Euros play on the US servers. The servers in Europe are several patches behind, GOA handles support instead of Mythic (as I understand it GOA's support is subpar even compared to Mythic), and now this. Sad because it's a really good game once you get past the support problems.
