  • Agree 100% with Bradywine being the highest... also one of the least social.  I'm sure that's just from people grouping with their kinship and not needing to find a PUG.  Full disclosure... Brandywine is my 2nd server and I mostly solo there with …
  • Lets look at a little bigger picture here.  How nice would it be to trade an in-game weapon or piece of armor from Oblivion that you don't need or can't use for something in Fallout (just as random examples)?  Of course I have no idea how far they a…
  • Before jumping into the sea of F2P Asian market and looking to cash in I would look hard at what Turbine has done with both DDO and LOTRO and their "freemium" model.  Right now it owns one of the genres most hardcore fanbase games in DOAC... nobody …
  • The housing is a lot like DAoC, minus of course the consignment merchants standing on a porch slapped on the side of EVERY house (auction house is such a better system)  Anyway, that's the closest game I can think of. On the SWG housing note... mu…
  • Originally posted by ValiumSummer By your own admission, you spent as much (or more) time reviewing the game on this forum than you did playing it. The moment I read that you played just one hour and quit I realized your opinion on the game means…
  • So the OP creates threads (yes, as in more than one) doing his best to bash this game and never follows up to answer any of the posts?  So he finds that more fun than lotro?  Seriously? There are MANY games I have played that I didn't enjoy for a…
  • Exactly what he said.  Sadly because the PvP of DAoC is it's biggest selling point it's the only thing most people become interested in.  In turn, once the numbers begin to drop it has a massive effect on re-subs and new subscriptions.  People are n…
  • I think at this point everyone is looking at the population and waiting for "The Savior Server" to see if people play.  I have an odd feeling that there are going to be a ton (give or take a few pounds) of people who will not play until they see a h…
  • In the early days of DAoC you were almost forced to group to level (unless you wanted to kill millions of blue/green mobs) and/or make gold, get decent drops.  This wasn't just at the later levels, but almost from the get go.  This would allow you t…
  • Just to add my 2 cents... you have hit on the very reason a lot of real old DAoC vets have moved (at least part-time) to the co-op server.  I'm sure with the around 500 people playing there I have ran across most if not all of them in my many many h…
  • Originally posted by Catspaw I am a confirmed alt'itis player.  Love playing lil guys as you can actually see them get stronger as you level - once they reach mid level in most games, the change slows to a treacle like ooze and i loose intrest in…
  • The only cure is playing an open char. (sandbox) style game where you are forced to play one toon only... then again that just leads to a lot of retraining and trying other skills and never really getting a final set-up/temp.   So no, I guess th…
  • DAoC will never be a free game, that's not a rumor, that's just lies. The fact that Mythic created a "master account" system added fuel to the rumors of a multi-game sub. plan, but still nothing in print.  I hate the rumor BS so I want to put this…
  • Originally posted by Illius Mid is where it's at.  I mean VIKINGS!  you can't go wring with VIKINGS!   I'll stick to playing a Highlander... I mean I wear kilts out of the game on a regular basis, what race could be better for me?  
  • Good Luck & I hope ya love it!  I'd offer to help you get started, but I won't be playing for a few weeks... stupid out of town work and stuck with this stupid laptop... 
  • I can't really answer that one, here is why.  I bought the expansions on day one AND I burned myself out on RvR and haven't really done any PvP in a while so I cannot say what the state of the game is for players without the expansions.  I can say t…
  • Origins will not include either of the expansions as far as the zones go.  They have not really released a lot of info on how they will be implementing a lot of the "stuff", details are slowly coming out but honestly I do not know if anything on tho…
  • My advice would be not to get the expansions till after level 30.  But yea, they are almost needed later in the game.  Also, I think starting now is a good idea if you grow to like the game (and you will of course).  The reason i say this is because…
  • Any of the "classic" servers are a safe bet.  They are all 3 clustered so they all share the same zones (just not housing). Just a small tip for a 1st timer, don't judge the game by your first few RvR runs.  Like any game that has been around for …
  • No worry about your old toons, they are there waiting on you... bored and a little pissed.
