Don't bother going to the German servers.

I lead a German server exodus to Thidranki in late 2006. This was before any of the German servers were clustered - I think there was about 10 of us from Pryd/Excal who played there reguarly. The action was amazing, more than anything I had ever seen on Dyvet. For about 2 years, we had some great fun. I got 33,000 kills on my Eldritch (I got to 25,000 in 9 months) and many others (including my guildmates Duancy and Rin) achieved over 10,000 kills on their characters. That's how good the action was.

However, I would say Thidranki is dead now. In fact, it probably died around November 2008 except for a few events (including the 7 year anniversary). I havn't been there in about 5 months. I have considered returning but my friends inform me that it is a wasteland now.

It is a shame really because I have very fond memories of Avalon - but it seems as though the US servers are the place to be now. I was close to going to the US servers during the summer, however for personal reasons I couldn't dedicate much time to DAoC anymore.

So, in short, Thidranki on the German servers is dead. You should have come in 2006 when a lot of us from Dyvet went - it was a fantastic experience.

Sounds fun! Should really organise something like that for US servers.

Those of us that were there for over 2 years were me, Hiddenkiller, Rin and Anesur. Then there were the others who joined me initially but did not stay on the German servers; Xareena, Minions, Aleven, Blokkie (not 100% sure on this, correct me if I am wrong), Eversmall, Ripel and a couple of others whom I have forgotten.

The first 2-3 months were very exciting because it was all new and we were up for the challenge, it was certainly good to have some of the old crew back from Dyvet Thid.

A no-nonsense 24 Light spec. With that, you can't go wrong in Thid.

I would play US with you Hamro but I have a lot of stuff going on at the moment. Potentially, I could be playing by February but we will have to see how my work pans out.

You should go to US though, I heard the action is amazing.

I found them annoying, however for some reason they weren't that prominent during the time I was on Avalon. I myself played a Bonedancer in Thid (to about 5,000 kills) and am quite ashamed of it.

I can sort you out on mid mate.. I have been contemplating on making a healer myself for thid :)

I'm finding it hard to spec a thid healer:

Spec1)
14mend
6aug
18pac

spec2)
15mend
13aug
13pac

or

spec3)
13mend
20pac

I'd go for the third choice as Mid ae mezz is already so weak. Think I'd roll a shaman myself (18 mend / 15 aug). With +5 aug and 13% buff on a buffing set that should be near the cap and the heals are great. Either that or a skald.

Then again: I haven't played in ages, so maybe you shouldn't mind me :p.

mid is the zerg realm on US-thid. Im trying to convince fervent(the guy from Thid Blitz) and to roll us with me at the moment, i don't know how many we are atm, but we might look for additional players).

It's good to see you around blokkie. I actually ran into a guy called Blokke on uthgard freeshard and thought it was you, turns out it was Honed the SB from old days.

Which realm do you play Hamro? I just prefer to play mid because my thane can craft me all the stuff I need so I don't have to go to some other overpriced sc'er/ac'er/wc'er or whatever

I got the 14-day trial and am patching up at the moment. I'm fine with any realm. It's just that I haven't got enough spare time to level something up to farm money.

Bleh, my custom UI no longer works. Anyone got something similar to this? (I believe it was a modified version of Caden's UI.)

Oh Blokkie how I remember fighting you with my reaver, Zergers, at the hib bridge where you would always be sitting and waiting for a fight :)

Good times.. Good times..

Yay. Sort of managed to recover my old UI. Now I only need to get rid of these flashy style and spell icons. These new ones are just too weird.

Any update on the TB project?
