BioWare Mythic takes over Warhammer Online in Europe
11
Previously, the operation of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in Europe was handled by GOA, a division of France Telecom. Today, EA has announced that BioWare Mythic, the developer behind WAR, will now take over "publishing, operating and subscription service rights" in the region.
During the transition, BioWare Mythic will shut down the European servers for 48 to 72 hours as it works to bring the new servers online. To celebrate the transition, existing and former players will all receive 14 days of free play, while new players will gain the option of installing an Endless Trial mode, which gives players the option to enjoy the trial version of the game for as long as they like. You can check it out for yourself here.

Wait, you get to play the trial version as long as you want? /head asplode
What next? Will they let you bring your trial version character into the full game if you decide to become a subscriber?

"subscription service rights"
Can't wait until all the europeans are crying about their stolen franks or denmarks or whatever the hell they use as currency. Baguettes?

So, should I assume this will mean a massive reduction in the number of European servers to match the number of North American servers?

I really wish this game was better. I had fun playing it at launch, but the leveling curve was horrid after the midway point, and everyone only ever played one pvp arena.
It had a lot of bold ideas, that worked partially, but could of used a bit more polish.
Oh well :|

I hope this wasn't the big news BioWare's twitter feed alluded to yesterday.
