OK total DAoC newb here. I know nothing a/b ToA and how the classic servers work. My wife and I are casual game players. I KNOW for a fact we don't want another Grind feast game.
I know that both of us like the trial so far
A friend of mine just reactived his account. He plays on Halagad a regular server, where my wife and I have been playing. I was thinking of rolling a toon on a classic server if it is easier to lvl and has a newbie friendly ring to it.
If there is no real differnece, I will just stay on Halagad, if no I can play on a classic server as well.
Any info, input, advice, points of views, psychic readings or what ever is GREATLY appricated~!!!!!!!!
Sorry this a repost, made a thread in DAoC forums!... my bad
It appears that even after a long standing run that DAoC is starting to take people away from WoW. I am not sure how long they can compete with a game that does not require the PvE gear grind to get to see new contect. For me it is a game that i can login to or not. No scheduled raids, PvE till 2:00 a.m. for learning. It is so login , get your stuff done, then chill or logout. No pressure.
and you base this statement on the fact that.....................................................................
My wife and I did roll on the classic cluster and we like it a bit better....LOTS of people to play with and from coming from WoW/EQ2/Lotro...the community is MUCH more helpfull then any of those I listed and much more mature then those save EQ2
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially since I love DAoC as much as I do. But the numbers just don't speak of it making a comeback. The chart below shows the number of people logged in throughout the year. It's a steady almost linear decline. I know that it's not subscription numbers, but what does that matter if the people holding subscriptions aren't there to play with?
Well I am not sure what your looking at but... there may not be thousands of players on every server like the hayday of DAoC but the servers are still active and the BG's are still alive and fun as ever.
Decline or not the game is still a blast for those still loyal enough to play it.

I was responding to the question of the thread. It says, "Is DAoC making a comeback?" Judging from the server population, the answer is clearly no.

I'm installing the game as we speak
If it ain't dead you're not pressing 2 hard enough.

I wonder if the older a game is, the older the playerbase is.
that being said, age does not always mean maturity.
Ive noticed that a lot of players on my server were also very courteous and helpful.
