Poll: Playing the new servers?

Thinman · June 2005

Hey, just wanted to put up a quick poll and see who all will be playing the new servers, and what your past experience with DAOC has been.

Feel free to elaborate on your vote.

Hell Yes I'll be there! The only reason I quit DAOC is because TOA made the game feel like EQ with it's incredibly long and boring PvE grinds. Also ranged buffs and no /level are very nice as well.

I agree.. it's nice that Mythic can recognize the things which they've done which a large part of their playerbase would say were mistakes, and do something about it. By making new servers with these new rulesets, they appease everyone, the ones who like the game how it is now and the ones who wanted these things removed. Honestly, I can't think of anything else that I would want different with the new servers, and they addressed everything which made me no longer want to play.

I played up til ToA and then lost interest quickly after it released. Now, there is no other MMOG that I would want to play, with these new servers coming out. Except for perhaps Roma Victor, if it comes out as well as can be hoped.

Pie is ALWAYS good.

Especially the ones with the little sugar garnish around the crust...their so perky, I love'em.

Bobiin · June 2005

Are they releasing servers without the expansion files on the server?

I wish SOE would do that with EQ, then i would return to the game.

Ill definately check it out, though

They're releasing 2 servers without ToA, or buffbots, or the /level command.

Classic + SI + Catacombs - ToA - buffbots - /level = The best thing that DAOC can be at this point, many people would say. And that's what the new servers will be.

Though adding population restrictions of some kind which keep the realms balanced would be a nice addition as well. It's worth it to have to wait in a queue to log in if you'll have balanced realms, for a good number of people, I'm sure.

I'll definitely be checking out the new servers. I think that without ToA, it will be easier to get the characters up and running in effective RvR. I don't think it will be so easy to let go of characters already made. Not really sure where most of my time will be spent now.

Dont think 2 servers will do it

. It will be like wow on release. "WTF damn to many people logging on to the servers. Make more".

Stay away from the new servers for a week or 2. That will lighten the load on the servers. I think instancing dungeons will save this from becoming a disaster however.

Finally they done something for their old player base, I already resuscribe to be there 2 days in advance

madnessmagee · June 2005

I've played back when it first came out all the way to near ToA release then quit. I'm very excited to hear about the new servers and will be coming back.

Mud_Monster · June 2005

I will be one of the new people. I've played most every other well known MMORPG but never got around to playing DAoC. Many say that DAoC was their favorite MMORPG, so I want to see what I've been missing. I think I will enjoy this game as I played alot of Shadowbane, and many of my friends from that game returned to DAoC. The PvP is what interests me most.

I have a few questions. What all expansions do I need in order to have everything for PvP? Do I need the ToA expansion pack in order to play Catacombs stuff? Or can I just buy DAoC Gold(DAoC + Shrouded Isles) and Catacombs?

Blingbling2k · June 2005

I will DEFENANTLY be playing on the new servers. Look for Rorick or Rorick Aurlith.

You can go with just gold and catacombs, from what I hear. Some people say you need ToA to install catacombs, but I've heard people say that they installed gold and catacombs no problem. That said, gold is $20, and so is the platinum pack.. but if you've got gold or can find it cheap it'd most likely be worth it.

Professor_P · June 2005

Mythic has said many times that you need to have TOA installed to install Catacombs. Just get the platnum pack and cats for $40 total. No so bad realy.

JulianDracos · June 2005

I found out about a week ago you will not need ToA to play on the new servers. They has disabled the ToA requirment for those.

Other people have claimed that since then they could install Catacombs and will be able to access the zones on the regular servers, but not ToA. But since I have all of the expansions there is no way for me to test that out.

Professor_P · June 2005

Oh shoot silly me, you are right. I was thinking of the other servers. Haha, my bad.
