We will.

Given that the views of FH users are not indicative of the DAoC population as a whole, you can take anything said about how many people will do "x" or "y" with a grain of salt.

One disadvantage of the classic server is that only complete teams will go there. They'll have their groups thought out in advantage, run through darkspire two dozen times to get their gear and go RVR.

From that point onwards RVR will be exactly the same as on the normal servers. If you can't get a group now, you won't be able to get one then. It'll just be GG's running around looking for each other, and ganking everyone else they run into along the way.

You won't have Darkspire gear, or capped out gear, so you'll die just as fast as you do now. 'Classic' while something different, is not something new. It certainly isn't anything revolutionary. o_O

i think the first weeks will see a decline on all server pop to the classic server, but it will blow over in a month or 2. i doubt that who have 2 or 3 fully temped charrs on normal servers will just throw away their charrs. some will.

its funny to hear out all people whinig that the server will suck because they fear people will move away from the original servers so they empty out, let people play classic and many people will, and then u can sit there with ure toad gear and smile upon ureself, for what u achieved ;P loosers


Classic will pwn original servers ^^

I realy like nice raids and toa, so classic servers won't be my favorite, but since it will be anouther english server, and a place to go when prydwen / excal has LOOONG downtime, I will try to make some characters on them as a backup plan. Won't invest much time in them :)

What's the betting that the English-language "Classic" (gah, it's NOT "Classic", it's "no TOA") server will be on the same hamster wheel as the other UK servers?

So the English-language one will be down just as much as Excal/Prydwen are these days, while the German one will of course be up 24/7.

Who knows, but I hope even if it will be down just as often as prydwen and excal, it will be down because of problems at different times. But I think, since there is no *french* classic server, and most french players would prefer english over german (hey, they have to learn it anyway, and any language you speak is better than one you don't speak) I think english classic server will be a bit more stable :)

As igli states above, no reason to play at the classic server after 1.81, toa becomes easy, and on classic servers... you will have to invest enourmeus amount of time farming that catacomb dungeon I forgot the name off.

you can still make templates that are close to toa standard, and thous have to spend same time getting it.

here is an example of my bm's template on US lamorak, which for your information died out pretty fast, got tired of the constant zerging at the new island.

STR:100/101
CON:86/87
DEX:20/75

Body: 26
Cold: 26
Heat: 26
Energy: 22

Slash: 31+3
Thrust: 29

Skills
Blades: 7
Blunt: 3
Piercing: 3
Celtic Dual: 5

I will not be going, I will stay at camlann, and tbh, I think all you other guys should come to camlann too for some good old hatred and pvp combat :D

Lets recap
No BBs
No Artis
No Mls
No /level

They sound like good reasons to play classic, 1.81 or not.

The impression I get is a lot of the long time/hardcore players on excal/pryd who have a lot invested in their characters on those servers and happily ToA away, don't want to see the server population thinned by people going off to another server and enjoying themselves.

no matter what, new servers wont bring as many new players, or old ones back, to get the same level of population on all the servers, new servers will eventually drop to about 1k pop, as they did in US, and then we have just spreaded the players even more, having even fewer on the different servers, it saddens me.

1) I don't care. I play for fun, not to populate servers for the greater good of everyone else.

2) The people I will be playing with on the classic server are mostly people who quit DAoC after ToA, but want to give classic a try.

I can understand that. It would be great if DAoC in Europe returned to its population of the "glory days" whenever they were.

Sad as it may be. Its not a compelling argument for not playing on the new classic servers.

I came (at least will) come back to DAoC to try the classic servers. I look forward to playing with friends again after battling them for a short while in WoW (which should be renamed WoG.. World of Grinding).
