Hiya. Been long since i last played DAOC and couple of days ago i noticed an add for 14d trial version of daoc (apparently si + toa) in mmorpg.com. Downloaded it and only after i managed to leech the bloody 1.8g from slow overseas link i realized that the european version had a 14d trial program going on aswell.

Used to play in Euro and US and atleast couple of years ago you could change the info in update.dat file so you could, for example, use US version cd's to install the game and still be able to play in Euro servers with your goa account.

Can you do it with the 14d trial versions?

US trial version has this in the update.dat file:

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

Tried to change it to this but it didnt work.
Mythic Patch
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/new_isles/mpatch.dat
patch.camelot-europe.com:1280/updates/english/new_isles/mpatch.dat

Just guessing really and using out-of-date info.

Anyone out there got any ideas? Someone please post the trial update.dat's :) Dont really feel like downloading the 2.3g from goa (did register for the trial tho, so i do have the account info once i get this working). Cheers.

I'd sort out the trial first and see which expansion the goa trial gives you up to.
I think it might be trials of atlantis, so you'd need to use "atlantis" instead of isles, like this:

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


But replace catacombs for atlantis or something.
Make sure there are no spaces at the end of the lines!

Assuming you've checked its the atlantis client you want...

Try starting the game with a full file check (should be a tick box for it somewhere).
Failing that, just DL and see how it goes, it might "think" it needs 2.3 gig but then find it acctually has most of it already.

with a trial account you are using the TOA client - just download the DR client it will work fine. (you get prompted when you login that you havnt got the expansion enabled, but just ignore and carry on :)
