And what would of happened without the teleporter then..

Irvr in NF has shown us exactly what would of happened, you'd have 100 mids on one side the the chokepoint and 100 albs on the other side..

You'd storm in and kill 50 of them, then 30 seconds later that 50 would be right back there again.

Except there was only 2 choke points so the ability to walk round the perma standoff would be none existant.

only blizzard has successfully provided pvp for all tastes from 1v1 without anyone adding, 2v2 3v3 5v5 arenas to 10v10 15v15 40v40 battlegrounds apart from capital raid)
the only problem was in servers with pop balance 60-70% alliance to 30-40% horde alliance players have to wait 2x more for the instance
it is a pity that pvp itself is sooooo shit compaired to daoc

You haven't played Guild Wars or any FPS?

i played gw, lotro, vanguard, eq2 and l2. imo daoc has the best pvp , wow has the best pve.
i was playing fps 4 years ago and got tired of the setting, the game depth, the repetition and the community playing these games.

I will never play it. DAoC was at it best classic to release of ToA. No gaming experience for me will ever compare to DAoC back then. Certainly not this ill conceived attempt to milk one last dime from DAoC. I would rather leave my memories of the green rolling hills of emain as they are.

The problem with this thought is that 2 weeks after release the set groups will be RR5+ so it's going to really be no different to now. The first week is normally funny, then it's just the same as every other server.

DAoC provides 1v1 fights, go to your border keep and /duel people.

Too late, I've quit DAOC by a long way now! Community ruined, game didn't matter much to me but once people left there wasn't much point in playing. This doesn't fix anything.

I'd probably give it a go as there are no other worthwhile mmorpgs around atm.

PS.
Any way to remove the stupid new thread tags? They are annoying.

I'd definately play the server :) its a great idea but as pointed out > Bit late < who knows tho a server like that may bring old school players out of the wood work.

And the universal buffing option sounds amazing... no need to even lvl a buffbot then :p

clearly a "bit late" but it will be something fun to do before retail WAR, saves me wasting time and money on AoC and already cancelled the preorder now.

plus be nice to get together the guild running up and active pre-war retail. to.
am well up for rolling a new char, but think i give cleric a miss this time. 4 years of mini heals and spread heals is enough.

Mythic finally admit they screwed the game up with all the expansions.

Bollocks! I just said exactly that on another forum. Man, I feel like such a copycat... :m00: On the upside, it's nice to know that someone else feels the same way! :cheers:

Something I'd ask ... is what are they doing about all the oldschool spells? I heard that CC had been kinda nerfed over the years, for example.

O.F. was a case of the have and have nots.

The have ppl will play again for sure. The nots wont, thats for sure.


And...like every other attempt at doing a new server, every fucker will roll MID and pop will totally imbah (avalon anyone ?).

ofc they would prolly just turn this version of DaoC in to a beta-testing ideas for WAR server - and marginalise the game WoW style - every fucker & side more or less the same...everyone will roll mid after all........

I think this could be a huge hit if its done properly. Back to the good old days. But like one of the guys said above need more info coz if it goes to s**t again its another 2 years wasted.
