Getting on US servers ....

[Annomander]

Hiya,

I have just downloaded the free trial and am quite liking the game but there seems to be no one about!! Finally managed to speak to another player and they suggested that I try the US servers. Anyone have any pointers as to how I do this as it only seems to be German/French servers that are available.

Hmm seems like you have the EU version of the game, if you are looking for a US trial try here Dark Age of Camelot

(ps try the classic server if you are new player)

Thanks for the info

Rather than re-downloading, patch to US by changing the update.dat file to the following:

From-

Mythic Patch
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/darkness/mpatch.dat
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/darkness/mpatch.dat

to-

Mythic Patch
patch.daoc.net:1280/updates/darkness/mpatch.dat
patch.daoc.net:1280/updates/darkness/mpatch.dat

Enjoy!

id say dont go us servers if ur after 8v8 action, for some casual solo/small grps i think US is a safe bet, alot of grps are getting ready for the incoming german super cluster so the 8v8 action will be great i think

The US servers fit to what ever you want to play.
Devon cluster has 10 servers .
classic has 3.
also a care bear server you can play on any realm with any toon .
Lots of EU players are moving to the US, as for me I moved when the classic servers went to German .

Also its mostly English speaking

So there are ppl running proper 8v8 action? Not what ive been told by the numerous ppl ive talked to, atleast not on EU times.

As i said it depends on what u want. Rolling solo? go US. Rolling set grp? go german.

The German servers are better if you want competitive 8v8 action on EU times.

I think it is safe to assume that the opening poster is reasonably new and a more casual player and that competitive 8v8 action is probably not the first thing he is looking for. In which case US servers all the way.

If its that anomander i dont think he is new and played with some of the better 8v8 grps on UK cluster and maybe in the Noctune avalon grp

Silly question, but I just did what you said and I'm currently downloading 523mbits - however where do I register to a new account? Or can I just use my original one, which I've been playing the EU version with for about 5years or so.

Make your new account at https://accounts.eamythic.com. You will need to get a cd key now, so get a trial key from Dark Age of Camelot. The trial key will give you upto catacombs free, you would have to purchase DR or LOTM, but you can do that in the accounts page

Yeah, was easier than I had though, thanks a bunch though. Anyways, I've noticed my latency a tad high, compared to what I used to have on the EU servers, it's understandable, but would there be a way to perhaps lower it a little?
