I went and read what this was but I never played DAoC past beta so,,,
Exactly what does this do, I understand that it removes all the expansions, but were the expansions really that bad?
Hell removing buffbots in any game is a great idea. I hate "Buff online" myself. If i can't play the game "normal" then I don't feel it needs to be played.
Down and dirty details please if you don't mind?
Yes, the expansions were that bad. It changed a RvR game into a PvE nightmare. Every expansion seemed to introduce a new overpowered class, and new PvE content you were forced to do to remain competitive. Basically, too much PvE content added and little to no RvR content added.
Battles went from lasting minutes to seconds. Casters became gods, melees had no increase in power. I personally got sick of playing a pve game that used to be a rvr one.
Shrouded Isles wasn't a bad expansion. The Atlantis expansion was bad and what did damage to the game though in both RvR and PvE but more RvR. Hard to say if ones after that did damage I think but won't miss them to much. Catacombs was kinda needed after so many left I think since it made grouping harder and it made getting pick up groups together easier and allow for locations where people could gather. Without that I wouldn't have been able to get to the end game. Keep that but Darkness Rising can the Mino one can go to be honest. Not really attached to them.
I voted Yes, because I suspect that once WAR comes out later this year we'll find its considerably different from the game we knew and loved, and we'll not be satisfied with that.
