why does it seem like daoc is dying a slow and inevitable death.. and what is the cause of this...
some small details bother me ...
overpowered PVE classes messed up the ingame economy.
overpowered PVE classes allowed a player to powerlevel MANY useless chars that flood the servers.
overpowered PVE classes allowed for people to have " the perfect equipment "
overpower PVE classes allowed for a balance shift in realm population.
so really ... when did the end start.

We all remember the quotes about swg, coh etc etc being the death of daoc, it never happend though, because as shit as RvR is these days, the clever use of frontiers and realms brought an ideal balance between pve'rs and pvp'rs, you could fight other players if you wanted to, or you could stay safe and roleplay as you desired and still have a realistic gaming world.
However the situration has gotten so bad now and RvR so frustrating that no competition does not matter anymore, players are quitting simply for the sake of real life out of boredom and annoyance with Mythic.
Just look at all the recent leaving threads, doesn't matter what realm or realm rank they are, they are still leaving and so many old time players have already left, will NF bring in fresh blood? doubtful, can you imagine starting as level 1 these days and trying to get to grips with the game, the classes, RA's, SI, DF, ToA and the ml's ? We had all these things introduced to us bit by bit, i'd hate to try and deal with all this from new its so complicated these days, not to mention how many months it would take, so in short, no new players are likely to join either to replace the leavers.
The game used to be fun for every minute I played it, these days I can spend hours and hours looking to find a few brief moments of fun. Which raises a number of questions in itself.

i have seen savages die cus they have had a bad set of hits/evades
A berzerker also wont ever kill a red/low unhealed
On a good run a savage will
Go to df
Farm hulks with a savage then a zerk
