[Trinilim]

yeah, in the olden days people never truely died after they were killed.

No matter how many times.


The only reason they're not around today is because they got bored and left.

Well DAOC is a fantasy game, but they are still trying too get much historical feeling in it,, eks the Viking helmets with no Horns (and thx god for that). But what puzzels me is the Albion Plate Armour. Plate armour was not in use before arnd 1350 AD - 1450 AD. Even Richard I armour used during the Siege of Jerusalme in 1187 was full Chain armour. So my question too Goa is, why do Albions have equipment for some classes dated too arnd 1350 AD when Hib and Mid uses equipment dated arnd 800-1100.

but when the legend was told about Arthur and his knights etc 1350- it said they wore plate tho?

And wtf is with SigvartH and Albania?

 

[baca]

we have decided the proper name for albion is albania, albs--->albanians etc and so on, because the realm of albion is no better than filthy stray dogs like albanians.

all hail midgard, the true realm of daoc, there can be only 1

this is just my opinion, so any1 who disagrees, are free to do so

cya in the game

All this stuff about knights on horses and Jousting tournaments is a load of piffle as far as king arthur is concerned..Tbh I doubt he even rode a horse once in his entire life. It was the dark ages for crying out loud. Albion was in ruins, the economy ( such as there was ) had collapsed and everyone, from the tiniest woodcutter to the highest noble was suffering in one way or another. The country was in chaos. No ruler, no rules. Total anarchy tbh..... kinda like now

The bit about the Plate armour, Horses and Jousting etc.. was added to the legend by a young scribe who translated one of the versions of the legend 'to make it more appealing' to the readers LOL

However, one of the theories about King Arthurs sword, Excalibur, is quite interesting. Back when he was supposed to be around in the 7/8th century, bronze was the 'in thing'. Imagine what a Japanese folded-steel sword would do to bronze armour?

Since the Japanese were quite skilled at this sort of thing, I would imagine even the early models were quite effective. ^^

But you all probably knew that already.

Makes you wonder where he got it from though.....



P.S. I know it's a little off-topic, but well.... it's in the right forum

P.P.S. OMFG! Did I just type all that?

Is our ancient history really derived from Japanese pratical jokes? Find out, after the break.

Ha Ha I cant belive u even bother too post on this tread, Baca told me too post something abt albion on barrysworld and see what happend.

And this is even more entertainment than I could possibly imagine. Go out get some sun, go to a party, talk with chicks HAVE FUN FFS ITS SUMMER. This is only a game u know And that Albanian=Albion stuff I cant say i realy know why or when it occured the first time. I just learned it from a lvl 50 Hib/prydw and got a good laugh. And we call Hib Tree Huggers on mid/exc I guess u have some fancy word on mid too.

"sounding smart ? well bite this, Norse vikings didnt have horns on their helms, its just somthin we've created along the way to make them more "scary""

Well I kinda made that point in the first line.

And I dont hate albs, acctually I respect their emain zerge, if it was that easy too get a grp in mid. U dont know how long a warrior have too sitt sometimes too get a f''' grp, beacuse I am not a uber zerker with 4 axes in each hand. (and I dont want plate armour, I think my warrior epic is kinda cool, ok I look like a robocop rip-off

So have fun all and rember its only a game Ohh ok I meant something. I hate Man.Utd suporters they can all go too nifleheim and die. And I dont f** care if u have been a man.utd suporter for 100 years u still suck. From one soccer fan too another.

Go Manchester City.

And we all know Arthur did not have plate armour just see monthy Python... Brave brave sir robin he boldly run away
