Old servers. - New life.

My guess is make a a new server set, to bring life back to the game.
New servers:

All old classes before SI.
All new raceses will be okay.

Keep the CL, CW and the new class abilitys, and the fix RA.

Still keep the: No buff bott, cata worlds. and the new LOTM ( whit no maulers )
Remove PL - by grp need to be min. 4 lvl under or over, grp leader.

I think that will help the game ones again. Pluse they can then take some of this abilitys or make new ones, atless that will bring the nr. of classes to a okay nr.

Beside this i personal like to see, CL,CW, + EPQ combind to one thing: C.epq.
Full armor, wep of skill, 2 if due, 1 + shield if so, 2h if so ect.
Way of CL u like.
All from kings quest, all truogh lvls, and rvr.

    How would this bring new life to the game?  That that are playing
    the regular servers will not play on here.  Many who play on
    "classic" servers will not come here to play.  At best, you are
    appealing to a nich audience of former players who left because of
    ToA/new classes.  Contrary to what VN would have people believe,
    this is not why people left and certainly not why they stay away. 
    I highly doubt there is a significant portion of the player base that
    thinks I would come back and play DAOC if just they got rid of all of
    those new classes.  Certainly such things would have no impact on
    getting new players because they have no reason to have any complaints
    against anything.


    The most that would happen with adding a new server, is what happened
    with the first classic server.  It was a new server so many people
    went to check it out.  Further, it was a fresh start server and
    some players missed that and it was good for new players.  But I
    see no advantage to opening up another new server at this time. 


    If you want more players in the game then the goal is to bring new
    players to the game and not cater to those that left.  Most of
    what you have here is on the classic servers, if that is not enough to
    get the old players back, nothing you suggest will.  Hence, you
    need to concentrate on how to get new players - marketing, UI
    improvements, etc.

    That would just suck. I would rather just have it Classic and SI and only Classic and SI races/classes. Forget all the other bullshit. Also, the old Emain would be fine. Pure classic all the way, but the same limitations on buffs to prevent bb and no /level.

    I dunno guys, I think if the current classic servers didn't bring em back....nothing else will.

    I came back due to boredom with WOW, and a lack of much else out there.

    Unfortunately, I'm biding my time until the next good game (Age of Conan, WH?) comes out and I'll probably move on... as will many others....

    Can't see Mythic spending a lot more money on DAOC going forward...  but others disagree.....

    I agree some marketing would be a great step.

    They have also made a good start with the new way of doing quests in the starter cities.  I have some friends that have played WOW for years and when they tried DAoC their complaint was it was too hard to get started.   For too long they have catered to the ones that left .. and the higher end folks. 

    Getting rid of buffbots is never going to happen - Mythic/EA makes money on people having 2 accounts!  The can limit them as they do in Classic but thats probably all we are going to get there... frustrates me sometimes, since I like to play healers and ' I am not a bot'!
