I also just got this offer.
I was always of the opinion that there are only 2 types of RvR players - the wolves & the sheep, & that that system only works as long as the sheep have reason to believe that they can one day become wolves, otherwise there is no reason for them to keep trying only to be devoured by the wolves time & time again.
Unfortunately the DAoC games-mechanics consistently made the wolves stronger, and the sheep thereby by comparison weaker, making RvR totally pointless for the sheep.
This was the situation when I left DAoC 1.5 years ago.
My question is:- Has anything changed in the meantime to make it worthwhile for a sheep to return, or is it still as absolutely pointless as it was when I left?
Old players in DAOC are called 'Elders', and everyone who've played longer than 4 years get the title.Incidentally, I saw an advertisement for EQ that seemed to refer to the old players as 'Legends'?
