I was sitting pondering DAoC today, and was thinking of the first time i played the game, like most things in life learning to ride a bike, your first driving lession, and the first time you lose your.. (i'm not rude ez will finish that bit). You always remember your first everything, what do you remember about when you entered the world of DAoC?
My Memory;
Well it took me ages to download (3 days infact, i had dial up at the time), it was a Friday and i got home early from work. It seemed to take ages to type in the Licence key for beta. I was then greated by the login, create and welcome screen there after. Wow i thought this is much better graphics then other cheap online games out there.
Once the game had loaded i selected a Wizard as my first character. I waited in anticpation for it to load up my new character... Then pop! There i was in a large castle (it was Lethantis as i later discovered), wow! look at this i thought, the npc's looked on me with glaring eyes! lol in my haste i clicked them all frantically reading all the garble hehe! After some reading i found the exit, and dashed down the slop, wow! i kept thinking! this is great... at the time there was very little new player help and i did not fully read coc... i saw a guy hitting a monster so i ran up to him... "hello" i said... sadly he did not reply. So i tried everything to attack that monster (lol yes adding i did not know), and found the f6 button, whack whack!.
"oi get off my monster" he said, "opps, dont we group and attack things together on this game", i replied.
"Aye but i'm solo" he said promptly
"My apologies"... as i ran off into the distance.
