I didn't give any definition of any. I said they aren't the same. In literature any book with e.g. spaceships in it is labeled Sci-Fi. Not fantasy. Fantasy is "medieval" setting.
Sci-Fi is Science Fiction. It is fiction based on and derived from Science and Technology. Fiction involving spaceships is counted as Sci-Fi (though Sci-Fi is in no way limited to spaceships, nor action in space), but something just taking place in space is not. Note that there are no spaceships here, nor does it strictly involve travelling into space.
Fantasy is medieval? lol. Fantasy is 'dream-world', make-believe, fairytales, etc.. Elves, goblins, orcs, trolls. Magical lands filled magical creatures. Knights, Wizards, etc, etc... (If you didn't notice, these things have been in DAoC for quite a while ;)).

Celestius (and the whole rest of ToA) is Fantasy, not Science Fiction.

I want the Deathstar, so I can nuke Midgard every 5s.
Maybe every 3rd nuke I will direct at Hibernia.

As I understand it, WF is right. Its an instanced encounter where you could easily see a Firby and Troll - you just cant attack them so its not RvR.

As for whether its still DAOC, well, I do think that with TOA and SI we are losing the whole Arthurian flavour somewhat.

Maybe, who cares though? Its a game, and its not like its an easily accessable and/or common area theme so it can't really hurt ;)

Try read my post. I said it had a "medieval" setting i.e. the infrastructure and technology are based on medieval counterparts. Ofc you can put trolls, elves etc in this setting, but putting a goblin in a city of skyscrapers or a space station wouldn't fit the fantasy idea.

Oh, and get off your high horse. Deep inside you know we both are right.
