Actually. The box is annoyingly big. The map is the same just bigger. Got a stupid poster (for those kiddies out there) and the manual is outdated.
Next.

When I first bought DAOC, the shop I bought it from here in Denmark sold me the US version, which was a pain, since I bought DAOC so I could play it with some of my friends in the UK.
Anyway, after a few complaints to the shop head office, I finally managed to swap it for a Euro version.
Regarding the manual, yes, it is out of date, and I haven't picked it up and read it since I read it the first time, it is outdated (both versions) now, what with the many patches and changes.
The online info is the only place to get any useful information..
The bigger map was nice tho...but not really a great loos TBH, as there's plenty of much better maps online available..
The poster was crap, and a waste of space and was no loss to me at all.

And the Euro version comes in a more convenient small plastic case which I can stack easily on my shelf...
I think these are much better than the annoying large cardboard box which easily falls apart.

I met quite a lot over 2 months on the US servers and all but one US player I've met have had a severe lack of imagination and fun. Enjoying the connection stability and most recent patches is easy, enjoying the mentality may not be so.

Regarding the playing style on the US servers.
Well, I only played a bard on a Hib server to 5th level.
I didn't really notice much difference TBH...except there were more people on it.
But maybe I would have picked up more differences, had I played longer.

no matter how bad euro forums may sometimes seem to get, they are NEVER as bad as many american ones are. The VNboard posters may have a lot more to complain about, what with constant class changes, new patches introducing new bugs, etc etc etc... but the general maturity i think is a hell of a lot lower.

eww
Heh reminds me of some sketch I saw (was it sluggy? can't remember) where they get the game in and go 'ooh big box, reassuringly heavy!'
turns out it had the cd, a small piece of paper with the instructions for installing and a brick
I prefer the DVD boxes, I can actually keep them now rather than throwing them away for lack of space

Most serious posters avoid VN boards (though I sometimes post on it *ahem*), leaving it only populated with trolls and AO fanboys (well there seem to be a lot of 'em lately) + some DAoC fanboys who seem to see it as a holy mission to defend "their" game against the hordes of barbaric forum trolls.
The Catacombs forums give a much better idea of the USA DAoC community, and most ppl there are actually playing the game (and mostly enjoying it).

The Euro version was better due to the fact that it gave me something to do on the bus ride home while I went through the manual picking out all the mistakes.

Just like to point this out
America is just one big test ground to iron out all the bugs for the european servers
hey if you want to go to a buggy test bed then feel free
I would prefer the non buggy european servers
As for connection well worldcom.com is about to go tits up so you can expect the other half of the trans-atlantic link to be turned off so everyone will be in the same boat...
Pust on his new McLaren engineers suit (fireproof spaceage material just right for the flames)
still :wub: you all
