To be honest, OMAC should never have announced an end or start date until they had these server and migration issues resolved.
I mean, what WERE they doing from the time the takeover announcement was made up until now. CERTAINLY they should have known that server migration was going to be their primary takeover issue, ne? And since they're buying out Mehul, why not leave the last Age active in his server while they get their server up and ready and all the bugs worked out. It seems to make sense to me.....you don't roll out a new commercial website or service until you have it just the way you want it and the kinks pretty much worked out.
And for those of you who say "Stop complaining....it's a FREE game. Be grateful..." and all that dross, let me remind you that the only reason this is free is that, as Mehul did, OMAC expects to gain advertising revenue from the fact that LOTS of people are playing their games for FREE. If their unprofessionalism continues and people leave the games because of it, their ability to generate revenue suffers accordingly. WE are the pot of gold at the end of the fook1ng rainbow after all.....
So far, I'm not too impressed. But I'm willing to stick it out. They DID take up my ((and I assume, others)) suggestion of adding an Announcement thread to this Forum. But...that, among other things, should never have to have been suggested to them.
