So. Where did everyone experience their best moments and highlights of DAoC?

Was it at the start, when everybody on the server was running around clueless what to do at the start of the game?

Was it the time you shed your first tear of your group getting ganked for the first time?

Was it the first time you got a kill?

Was it the first time you ever got bombed on at the milegates by DH?

Was it..

Stupid post maybe, just curious though.

If there are any memories you'd like to share, apart from this being a *Insert QQ here* post, then post them here.

:)

dinging my first 50....i was never into fast leveling so my first 50 came 1month after SI was released with a necro :)

some of my happy moments, gaining 2 levels on my merc in some group on salis plains killing slavers :)

Getting praises for keeping people alive in PvE with my cleric.

Going rvr on my cleric for the very first time and smiting mids :) (actually got the video of the mid i smited to death, was well chuffed ;) )

prolly many more, but cant think of them atm

Spending about 8 hours game time running around camelot hills totally lost.

Placing the contents from my inventory on the ground ( I was only lvl 5 ) and going back later to find they had gone!

My first ever gobbo house group.

Seeing a cabalist for the first time ( hi Arri ) and wondering wtf they did.

Lots more funny memories :)

Best moments was probably in the guild <Ascending Dawn>, when we finally got our shit together and was a good match for every guild on Prydwen with our guildgroup, RvR was yberfun back then and it havent really been that fun since that time, preTOA. Sure its fun now and then but.. it just aint the same thing.

Zdeath said:

Nope, actually when me and Zoe left Albion and our guild Utopia which I lead for some time, cried as hell when we said goodbye to everyone to try out Hibernia. Was a guild focused more at having a good time all around than RVR or anything else.

Zdeath said:
Was it the first time you got a kill?

Hmm nope, first kill was some SB that jumped my armsman back in 1.45 or so, smashed him to bits and spammed /vic for 20 minutes or so :D

Zdeath said:

Was it..

Never had the pleasure to play against this great guild sadly :)

Nope, no post is stupid really, unless it is infact, stupid. There is nothing wrong with curiosity since it is what drives the human race forward in the end.

Well, one thing, guildinvites. Back in Utopia on Alb/Pryd we roleplayed some and we had a certain way to invite people, we all gathered up with crimsoncoloured robes around the round table in Camelot and made an event out of it all, never really seen anything like it in any other guild after that time, it made joining us special and no invite was taken lightly at all. I kinda miss that thing alittle bit, nowadays people just join guilds to left and right without much thought. Personally I've always stuck to same guild for a very long time once I've joined it.

Oh so many things...
probably BEST thing was just first week or something in game, think I was lvl 7 or 8, and somehow I had found Muspelheim, and ofc thought it was sooooooooooooo cool :D The sky was red, there were giants!!
So anyway I convinced my rl friend who was also not lvl 10 yet to come.. so we strolled around in muspelheim trying to avoid any agro, and then we saw a house! on an island! We ofcourse had to check it out, and all of the sudden 20 dwarves comes running towards us!! About 0.05 seconds later we're both dead, and laughing our asses off :)

A guildie taking me to yggdra, he was 40+ I was about 20, and suddenly out of nowhere a BRITON shows up! (mins or infil), I ofcourse had never seen an alb or hib before, thought it was so cool didn't even attack or anything..

Going to emain with my lvl 43-44 healer (my first highlvl char), and somehow we got a group together, 2 or 3 lvl 50, rest 35-49, everyone RR1-3, some of us hardly knew what assist was, and somehow we killed a full guildgroup!! Don't remember which guild, but they all had the same cloaks and all were 50... You should have seen /g after.. Everyone was like "What the hell just happened?!"

Ah the days of being a noob..... sooo much fun! You guys remember when you actually was in groups to get to lvl 5 outside Mularn? :D

(Edit: Oh oh and one more thing (i could go on forever..) While lvling with healer, actually getting pm's from ppl that were higher then you, asking for rezz in exchange for money!)

Trying to find safe campspots in Mithra which was bound to fail because of this wandering Bleeder muppet (who always arrived during a pull, causing the entire group to panic... what a Punk!)

Spending my last 5s the 5s at level 5 for a ride to Cornwall because I was curious what´s there. Found out that even the fros are purple and went back all the way to Camelot because I didn´t have any money left... carefully trying to avoid any aggro mob, scared to death to lose my precious xp. I made it... without any maps except the one in the DAOC booklet.

Constant ALT TABing to check Kristena maps.
Printing out all Kristena maps at work.

Rezzing a fg of high level Royal Bavarians (aka the 1337 guild back in the days), who died at my feet at the bottom of Harvester pit in Barrows. It was one day after falling-damage patch which they had obviously forgotten.

"Never expect the impossible" "Endure all things" and all the other mindless Keltoi quotes. Had them all /say macroed at some point.

Charming my first Medial Telamon!!!! After fearing them for months and months.

Farming money in Catacombs, chainkilling green cons to collect enough money for this goddamn guild emblem!

Cripple FFS!
Gobochains going out of hand, pulling the entire hill, chasing us all the way into Catacombs.

Three lines of groups at Gobo beach.

Stepping out of Snowdonia Station at level 15ish because I had to talk to an Epic Quest dude. Went a couple meters down the hill to see what´s there and got one-shotted by an archer. That was also the first time I received the ominous X sends "Where?" and I didn´t even know what the fook he wanted from me.

Dinging my first level 50, soloing Telamons with my Pally.

Wallhugging my way to Yggdra Forest with my Cleric friend, hiding behind trees, waiting for inc´s. We killed some Dwarf due to superb CC (Cleric stun) and my worn astertite longsword (very sharp!).

Mezzing multiple people in RvR with aoe mezz!

First guild keeptake, B&Q banners over Nottmoor Faste.

failed Dragon Raids:

I have to say Darkness falls in the old days, pre SI.

When it changed hands and everyone grouped up to face the incoming enemies, no matter if you were 23 or 50 you were still invite to a group.
Spelleffects you'd never seel flying all over... And since this was many ppls first taste of RvR i think DF got many ppl hooked who otherwise wouldv'e ditched the game.

- My champ is my first ever created char and I totally miss-specced the 30 points. I think I got like 15 points in int or something, but I cba deleting and rolling a new champ after the hours and hours and hours of getting known the game and leveling.

- I was as slow learner, I didn't understand 20% of the game till late lvl 40s. I'm still a noob to this day, cuz I just enjoy this game and cba learning the underground foshizzle.

- My first ever RVR run was with TD and it was a relic raid. I was like:What in the name of holly fuck is going on ?? It was like learning the game all over again.

First time going to RvR at level 42 as Theurgist somewhere in patch 1.37 or 1.36 can't even remember but it was just after DAoC EU release.
Spending my whole mana bar on spamming pets just to have them mezzed...
Decided a Theurg was crap so rolled a Cleric instead but not after killing a grey con Blejsarus(thane) in Emain :)
Great time where you could see every con in Emain instead of all TOA'ed level 50's.
Groups consisting of something like 2 scouts a friar 3 armsman and some other classes but nobody cared about a decent setup back then.

Fondest memories of crim valley in OF playing my lvl 35 void eld being able to one shot orange con mages :D we would have a massive stand off until the crim guard patrol got there and the hibs zerged with them down the valley hehe good times :)

The Noler lead RR on mids was also amazing when 2fgs of hibs went back through poc :D and we ran the decoy straight at 10 fgs of mids at hmg in odins to then watch them desperately looking around to find the relic which wasnt there

Oh, the memories..

I remember the old Albion days. I had my uber first Theurgist with own special spec, at level 10 I had something like 5 Fire 5 Air 5 Earth (or something like that).. Sure I was sad after I heard that that kinda specs sucks! I deleted him and maked a new one with Air spec. Damn the speed was awesome! I wandered every place in Camelot Hills and Snowdonia..

Pet spimming a red con mob to me was like daaaammnnn this guy is totally ubah! Then waiting 2 mins to get all power back that sucked ;D And the XP what that mob gave was something totally crappy.. Gah..

DAoC ruled when it came and it was totally new! Damn I could play that same version for days now! :)

My earliest memory that sticks with me is my irl friend texting me at work to say we had a guild meeting that night in The Blue Dragon in Cam.....I was like wtf is he on about how geeky.
Anyway I went along with my lvl 10 armsman and about 20 people were there from the guild I had just joined (The Black Circle),the higher players were giving cool stuff to newbs like me and I was like "Hey I like being a geek" :)

Another memory is hours and hours of soloing without buffbot on armsman in barrows and DF just to get to 50 before my mate,and actully enjoying it!!!
But then I realised I'd choose the crapest char to solo in the game when I did get my first 50 lol :)

My happiest times were in Guardians of Vetutsa really, no other time can come close to me and all my friends under one guild but now everyone is scattered. Usually its just me logging on every couple of days now, wondering why I have, wondering around in my dead guild :(

But really, really happy memories there.

So many memories... where to begin...
Getting an amazing 8k+ in 45 minutes killing 40 or so albs/mids while albs were blockading MMG
Defeating a buffed RR7 SB while unbuffed after he jumped me (fight lasted over a minute, we used all our tricks)
Taking the first relic in new frontiers(pryd) from the albs after a 12+ hour monster MARR.
Making a guildie laugh so much he ended up crying and fell off his chair.
Carrying the sticks past people during the RL pubmeet.
Seeing my ex-GM and guildie (Lafala and Merecraft) after they got married real life.
