Hmm, I see comments about fighting for realm pride. Maybe that's why some people fought in DAOC. Me, I fought for control of Darkness Falls, as it was easily the best place to farm gold back in the day.
Maybe that's what made DAOC's PVP so great, it had several decent hooks or incentives to encourage people to fight, from individual character advancement in terms realm points and what not, to the sheer fun of big battles and fights for realm objects that gave boosts to your side.
So much done right, so amazing that no one has t hought to try and recreate the glory somehow, seems like a no-brainer to me.
But... its not likely to bring in 3M + subs, which is what every major Dev house wants from its games before they'll consider building one.

No, we won't see DAOC 2 unfortunately.
