This European wants to play USA

[fredbloggs]

I have just purchased DAoC with SI add on from Amazon. I live in UK. It says Camelot-Europe on my box, (there was no choice when I made my purchase).

I have migrated from Asherons Call 1 & 2, where I met American friends who have also purchased DAoC.

Naturally, I want to be on the same servers as them!

Since the internet is global, shouldn't I be able to have a choice to log into the American server???!!!

Please can anyone advise me how to log onto my prefered USA server. Or is my new purchase going to get consigned to the dustbin?

Thanks,

Fred.

the US version and EU version are, in effect, different games.

to play on the US servers you need the US version, done by Mythic (as opposed to the EU version that is done by GOA).

you might find someone willing to trade a US account for an EU account. if so, then you could just install the game from the version you've bought, get a US players update.dat and patch to the current US version (then use the US account).

Ugh, thanks for the advice. Was half expecting that

I think the makers of that game need to discover what the World Wide Web is all about.

Regards,

Fred.

afaik Mythic had no plans to release DAoC outside of the US. If no one had bought the rights to (some of) the EU countries then it wouldn't have even been released here

seperate companies also do the korean and italian versions

Well, i think its great that mmorpgs are giveing French and german ect people servers that are focused towards their language..

As, it must be a pain, if you don't have very good English skills.

Simple reason why I wouldnt move to a US DAoC, I hate Americans.

Most games shops here in Denmark sell both the Euro and US version of DAOC.

tbh, from now on i'll never play on any server except the servers run by the game writers. Whether it be for SWG, WoW, Imperator etc....
