We promised a major announcement from a big MMORPG company (or two) on Saturday afternoon. We are pleased to present to you the announcement that Codemasters Online Gaming has signed on to do the European operations of Dungeons and Dragons Online. Included in this announcement are two screenshots. Here is the letter from Sam Russell of Codemasters:
Many thanks to Codemasters for breaking this news exclusively with MMORPG.com. Dana Massey |

I'm very disappointed in mmorpg.com move to hype this event which turned out to be basically nothing. Tsk tsk.

Wow! Congratulations CM, and a special congratulations to Satine! I remember your work from Dragon Empires and know you'll do more of the same outstanding stuff with DDO! I still think DE was an outstanding concept for an MMO and was very sorry to see it get canned, but I'm glad to see CM is still very much involved in the MMO scene. I look forward to hearing more!

OMG what a letdown Oh and BTW, the RF website is a giant shell with a bunch of images that should be links but aren't. Do they have the time to finish building the RF website in the first place? |

I do apologize to those who got overworked. I didn't quite expect you guys to get as worked up as you did, I just wanted to post a teaser as to what was coming. Things got out of hand, and there was not much I could do. That said, this should not diminish the news. DDO is a major game and how games are handled by European partners is a huge issue for our European readers. To have two such major companies come together on such an important title for must be nice. Dana Massey |

I'm an european reader, and i can quite honestly say, that I, or anyone I know, don't give a damn about that. (As long as they don't sell the right to SOE anyway)

Indeed, news is news. There's plenty of people who are anticipating DDO that's for sure. Honestly though i'm highly anticipating 2 completely different games personally. This actually reminds me of the evening local news channels.. NBC, CBS, etc.. and the way they advertise their news stories. They always give you a little bit of information, just enough to get you hooked and then leave you eagerly awaiting their news program. In that respect, you've done a very good job! |

Oh man you screwed up! Total let down ! But there is a way you can redeem yourself. Make announcement that EverQuest is going free 2p
Really now. A big company like Codemasters managing the EU servers. Well I guess it is a good news after all "Before this battle is over all the world will know that few...stood against many." - King Leonidas |

This is such a disappointment and kinda puts MMORPG.com down in terms of a good news source.
