EA has shown little to no ability to put up information and a good web page since redoing the herald and unless I am not understanding the migration right years of information is about to vanish which is going to be a dramatic loss for people who want to find information about the game.

the amount of information lost pertaining to the game is gonna be pretty staggering ya...it'll be hard to get enough data though to thoroughly prove that VN dying is what finally killed DAOC though

About 6% of actual DAoC playerbase post on vn. 15%-17% read without posting.

So... doubtful.

I don't think so. It will be the end of DAoC for those of us who are brought back to the game by reading VN, but that's really a very small part of the population.

This but I would say like 85%-90% of the people currently playing daoc have no clue what a VN is.

dont forget the people that post and dont play.

So much information on these boards pertaining to the game over the last ten years will be lost. It's unfortunate, because I've seen an emergence in new players rising lately, yet nobody knows where to find information on how to spec and such. EA doesn't want to help with this either. I have to explain to new players how melee specs work on all, since none of them have any information readily available on these things. Then it gets more complicated, such as wyrd spec, style damage research testing, and recently the dex casting breaking points tests.
