i cant see why there isnt a multi language version of the game i mean the content is all based upon scripts that are loaded when you log in. The game graphics are all in your client its just stuff like monster locations and what people say. IS it really hard to have multiple scripts for text loaded depending on the language of your server.

Ok you got issues with people talking anohter language and if you dont understand it never mind. Ive gotten by with people just by using emotes

The whole concept of a coop server is pve but just think at how easy some of the master levels would be if you had access to classes from other realms.

I mean animist + necromancer + font bonedancers can all go to helll cus they are overpowered anyways

Ok so you not got the end game but you can still get rps by taking the keeps . However i just feel at least i could have a chance to try out theserver if it flops it flops at the moment we dont even have a choice.

/rel city ports you straight into the capital, not to the gates. Anyway you can teleport out, avoiding the gate campers. Use your common sense please. :touch:

I'm aware of this. However, if you have no money(such as in the case of, say, having just /level 20'd), you can't teleport out. And there's absolutely nothing stopping people from following you out of the city as you leave it, killing you the instant your invulverability timer expires. And they will.

Hey all, been reading most of the posts in this thread...ignoring a number due to total irrelevance to the actual topic.

Some points of interest:

1) Before Camlann even started, Kemor told me it would be big at first, then the numbers would drop to almost nothing. And he so totally predicted the griefing, after all, he was playing/testing on the 'dreds in the USA.
2) This whole thing about 2 or 3 or however many servers in whichever language is getting old, and is also incorrect. The number of servers offered in a specific language has ALWAYS been based on the population numbers. If when DAoC opened in europe there were only 2000 english players, then there would only have been 1 english server.
3) Camlaan is not a 3rd english server. It was kept in english like the 'dreds so that it would require far less work/testing when it came to patching.
4) People play games for different reasons. We've seen that there is quite a bit of interest in a Co-op server, and there was a lot of initial interest in the PvP servers. I believe the customer has the right to choose. Co-op players tend to take things slower, relax more. There's no utter rush to get to L50 so you can get X,Y or Z items to, and excuse the label, "pwn" people. I for one would love to play a paladin that is in his mid levels, and has adventures with people and goes to the battlegrounds to fight AI monsters. A Co-op server would also be more condusive to, and encourage roleplaying, something at few can actually say they've managed to achieve with great success in Midgard or Hibernia for a prolonged period of time.
5) I would come back to play on a Co-op server. RP'ing in a "graphical MUD" against AI is something that does indeed appeal to me. Hence why I am going to enjoy WoW, I won't care that much for any form of RvR/PvP. I want to RP my Tauren Warrior, like I had hoped to do with Glauthrong.

If you want my opinion playing on a coop server is great fun.
I don't enjoy RvR and play the game 'cos it's fun and I get to "meet" and talk to new people and my friends who play.

Being able to explore all three realms is great fun, although it still feels a bit wierd running a pally around in Jordheim and so on.
It's also great fun being able to group with people from the other realms.
Also people on the coop server seem more laid back and most people play for the same reason I do. And you don't get 12 years olds who has to be "uber l33t" and "wtfpwn joo" all the time.

Needless to say I'm playing on the US servers these days, tho I started out playing DAoC on the English european servers. I must say I don't regret going to the US servers, and some times I think playing on the US servers would have been the way to go from the start.
The time difference isn't much of a problem, there's plenty of European people on the server, and of course being in a nice alliance with people who take their Euro friends into account when doing stuff helps.

A lot of people (and I've actually read through all the posts in this thread) seem to point out the fact that there is not enough people on the two existing English servers.. I think in part this has to do with virtually no advertising for DAoC in the UK, and that it seems nearly impossible to get hold of the game in any shops here (in the UK). I only found out about it from my husband who in turn had been told about it by some friends of his.
I also think that any avid gamer who plan to spend alot of time and money on playing the game might be put off by the fact that there's only 2 English servers, and that he/she in end effect won't be able to play the game to it's full extent, and will go for the US servers instead. The subs after all aren't any more expensive for the US servers, and you get so much more choice.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop rambling now and actually come with an opinion on the topic of this thread.
I think the Euro servers should get a coop server, tho I don't think it should be done by scrapping the PvP server 'cos that's blatantly unfair to the people who enjoy playing on Camlann.

Or Albion.

Orc warriors look much more badass. I only played one for a few hours but damn it was fun, and I looked mean as hell

Ask for 1gp? It's not a big deal and you'll usually get it at the 1st try if you ask politely.

Tbh Camlann has just enough people. Exping is hard already, more ppl would make it hellish and there are just enough targets for PvP.

But I agree, Camlann can be UTTERLY frustrating at times, and it's not only the clueless /level'd french or german...

sorry to spoil your little story but you have safety flag before lvl10 so you you can't have been ganked before training

/safety off

quite easy to type.

Good post....particularly the "people play games for different reasons" part. A lot of RvR-centred players seem unable to understand that many players enjoy PvE for its own sake - that immersion in the gameworld is its own reward, and "pwning" other players in RvR is utterly irrelevant to them.

RvR is of no interest to me at all, it's a huge timesink with very little reward and an extremely inefficient way to get RAs. RvR players whine about what they call the "XP grind" but the RR grind is far worse. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, by any means. "We've seen that there is quite a bit of interest in a Co-op server"...absolutely. Given the whole Euro DAOC playerbase as a starting point, I am certain a Euro co-op server would have a much higher regular population than Camlann or Carnac.

To be honest, if GOA refuse to give European players a co-op server I will be more than a little tempted to cancel my Euro subscription and go play on the US servers on Gaheris. Which would be very sad - I love my guild on Mid/Excal, and would miss them a lot. It would be really crappy to be forced to give all that up because GOA inexplicably refuse to allow us access to the co-op gametype; but frankly I don't find it acceptable that as a paying customer I am denied access to a gametype that really appeals to me, particularly when paying customers elsewhere do have access to it.


There is no excuse or reason that I can see for denying European DAOC players a co-op server. We have normal RvR servers, we have a PvP server, so why don't we get the co-op type as well? After all, we pay the same money, we should get the same choice.
