Found DAoC @ HMV...

[russ]

DAoC + SI + TOA + Catacombs + 2 Month subscription card + extra 14 days all for £4. Yes, four quid. :worthy:


My heart almost leapt out of my chest when I saw this and it brought back so many memories. I will be installing this little beauty when I arrive home later.

Now I know a lot (understatement?) has changed since I left (I left about 4 months after ToA) and was wondering if any of you actually still play on EU, or most of you have gone US?

If a healthy chunk of you still play EU do most of you congregate on one server or just spread about?

I guess i'm going to have to do some serious research on the classes again, but from what I can remember I'd prefer a decent pet class from Hib/Mid. Failing that I always remember healing being great fun in RvR. So maybe a Druid/Shaman. Oh the possibilities!

I'm welcoming myself back to DAoC

I do believe to total combined Population for the English server is errr 1.

O_O Fucking hell, that's cheap. If they had it with the other expansions I'd go and buy it now, I need the DAoC client for something

Damnit

From looking around it does appear quite a few have gone to the US servers. I take it that I can install the EU version and change some .ini file to be directed at the US servers.

yep but u need a US account

I should be able to do that from the 14 day trial CD-Key from the website? Then of course it automatically turns in to a full account at the end of said 14 days.

Brilliant thanks English!

I would recommend you go US. It has a better population for english speakers and has the latest patches and has more server options.

If you happen to speak German or French well you can try those servers on the EU, they still have a reasonable population.

Thanks Cadelin.

I will need to find the US server.dat for my eu copy, I don't fancy downloading 2gb on my slow connection ¬¬.

Don't use the 14 day free trial. If you use the update.dat change -English- has given, then select new account, you get upto cata free and 30 days free trial.

Awesome stuff!

Thanks for the help everyone. Hopefully i'll be leveling away tonight!

I still have all my original boxes, yes its sad, and I might sue Mythic under false advertising as my hunter never could morph into a stag as the manual says it can.

Heh, same thing over here in Norway - looked like I'd robbed the store on my way out
