If you roll a Bard Tilda I'll roll something with you, and catch up to my Chanter, then things should be jokes.

But are most people on alb (my first instinct)? ie, which is most over/under populated realm?
Which is most likely to end up end-game rvr groups?

Theurg/cabby vs bard/ani?

There are alot of people on alb at least. Theurg, caba and reaver are all good choice to start PvE with.

People are mostly all over the place, population really changes, last week when hibs got power relic instead of alb, like half the population just disappeared

if your comming to Uthgard Mid has a growing Camelot Unchained guild, lots of people lvling and very helpfull, think CU guilds are in the other realms too but from what i know Mid has the most active one atm!

If people are interested maybe we could form a guild on alb? Or maybe there is one already that is recruiting?

I just can't go back to DAOC if it means giving EA money. I'm sometimes tempted by Uthgard but I think old-school leveling would make me crazy.

On the free 14 day return offer a few months ago, legit DAOC was horrific. Basically 8 man stealth groups every fucking where. No idea about the proper 8v8. Seemed to be a couple of sieges but they were more 25+ vs guards.

I refuse to give any money to EA out of principle so I only played for a short time so I might have got unlucky.

Nah, live is really bad. Even with fg you sometimes would be roaming for hours and hardly finding any fights, except one gigantic zerg running around.

8v8 is pretty much adding aswell, not that i know anything about that :whistle: ................

Hib or Alb it is, its just which one!!

Real old-school leveling is a mess. Might be better in group, definitly a nightmare solo. Last time i had some fun was for a couple of weeks getting back to DAoC playing Molvik and 50er Laby RvR and participating in the Caledonia event. Tried to get Uthgard set up but DAoC refuses to start -.-

Uthgard is a bit funny at times, you should run the portal in admin mode and let it do any additional patching, also only some GUIs work especially with windows 8, play with the atlantis gui first, make sure its stable, and then try looking through the uthgard forums for suitable GUIs. I am loving old style DAoC levelling, 8 man xp groups, spind and uppland levelling. The BGs are a bit mixed up but still good fun.

I have a healer (Delightful), hunter (Olwen), and skald (Slytely) on Uth right now but they are all teeny-tiny lowbies, and completely broke, lol. I am good with that, though...just trotting around in the zones seeking blues and listening to the "time of day" music gives me a happy sense of Zen-like calm. :)

Hoping to get some more time to play them now that I am no longer obsessively staring at the Kickstarter ticker 24/7, lol. :)

I think there is a guild called "Unchained Camelot" on the Alb side...not sure about Hibbies.

After poking, prodding, cursing and finally kicking my firewall into letting me get onto Uthgard I've been happily wandering around the Vale of Mularn all day, hitting things with hammers :)

So, who do I have to poke to get a guild invite (Midgard, obviously)?

Just trying to work out what to play!
Alb-Theurg/Cabby, Hib - Ani/bard, Mid - Shammy!

It's a nightmare, been wanting to play since yesterday but can't work out where!

What do I do? Zerk, fun melee, or shammy fun diseases?
Or go crazy and do an RM or SM?
