The sky is falling the sky is falling!
I guess you mean the fastest way to level rather than the main way, but many people actually enjoy exploring the game world, seeing different encounters and the story of the PQs and other quests not to mention hunting down those tome unlocks. It's only repetitive if you make it that way (with the exception of the same scenario always popping up which doesn't seem to be entirely due to the way people queue).
I'm trying to level up to 40 before I give birth in 5 weeks time so that in the little bits of playtime I do get afterwards I can focus more on rvr but I'm certainly not gonna sit in a warcamp doing scenarios in order to do that or else I'd be missing out on most of the game world, it seems like a odd way to go about it to me since doing that people don't really seem to be getting value for money as they only play one tiny part of the game. Bit like going to Disney land and riding the biggest rollercoaster all day.
im not English so my language skills arent flawless but yes i meant fastest... I love spending hours running around finding stuff, i just rarely meet anyone else.
problem is thiers no reason to group
in old skool daoc you went into a dungeon grouped with a bunch of randoms an sat thier chatting for 3-4 hours while leveling was really community driven
The games been out just over a month, there are already more players than daoc ever had, to suggest its dieing is insane.
In any industry people will always try out free trials and decide it's not for them, this is nothing new and certainly not new to MMOs. People will always try out competitors also, I'm sure plenty of people will try WOTLK, but most that left wow to begin with will probably see themselves leaving again, it's the same game, the same bull shit grind, the same class problems, the same mindless developers. No amount of world pvp will make that game interesting to people who enjoyed daoc/uo and the likes.
WoW appeals to the 'new' mmo generation who like things handed to them, WAR does a little also, but they are also trying to capture the same audience as daoc so thats why I'm sticking around.
Let me know how the end of the world works out for ya on November 13th. But tbh there seem to be an awful lot of people on these forums that hate the game yet stick around anyway.
Hate? don't put words in peoples mouths.

the game needs time to mature.. sure i miss daoc and would love to see the population on excal like it is on kep,but have had plenty of fun in war with old friends and new,in time i think it will become as fun as daoc..................i think we are a long ways off needing doom and gloom threads about the game...
Think I read somewhere that daoc didn't hit its peak of subscribers till about a year after launch....
WoW hasn't yet hit its peak
Pretty sure WAR's not on the decline quite yet...
Hate? don't put words in peoples mouths.
I love these DOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMthreads
war's problem is lack of socail interaction it realy ruins the point of a MMO.
i`m not playing war anymore !!
untill they start shipping those damn resub cards to belgium, my sub ran out and `stuff` made me convinced never to use a CC for ANY online purpose anymore.
It's far too early to start doomcalling etc. Suspect those who do is kiddos who tend to think alil more shortsighted than adults. Game is a month old, sure it need work but I have faith in Mythic, they did create DAoC after all. Give em credit for that at least.
They also made TOA and NF jk
Thought id not seen you online for a few days...
I actually think they made daoc awsome by accident, they were very pre occupied with the whole seige warfare thing, like they are in WAR. Good 8v8 and open rvr probably wasn't what they intended.
On the f13 forums Mark Jacobs imo has shown he knows very little about what makes a good game and what the players actually want.
