DAoC revolutionized the concept of pvp and integrated with pve like no other game since. The Darkness Falls dungeon is still the best dungeon concept ever created and the crafting system supplanted the mindless gear chase found in too many mmos.
E…
Frontiers in DAOC and Cyrodiil in ESO was pvp done correctly, and today those forms of pvp are best if you wish to have pvp and grow your game. Sadly, but truly, pve is WAAAY more popular than pvp, but even hardcore pvpers know that ganking lowbies …
My first 50 on DAoC was a Scout I soloed on the pvp server Andred. Who remembers that server? That was old school leveling!
Moved to Hib Percival and played an Eldritch there mostly. Good times, Hib Percival. Best MMO gig to this day.
I played Daoc for years, WoW, Warhammer, GW2, ESO
PvP zone is to big (it takes to long to get to where you "should" be).
Not at all. Using the Transit system, forward camps, and feeding your horse an apple a day, makes this completely not true.…
I don't agree that a review of the game should focus on the launch. The early bugs/exploits/dupes etc., especially when they are fixed very quickly, shouldn't really be a part of a review of the game. The game stands or falls on its design and reali…
The MMO surface has barely been scratched yet. When you boil it all down, EQ 1 - Next, DAoC, WOW, WAR, Conan, GW2, LotR - they're all the same game. MMOs have barely begun. We're still in the infancy stage, and one baby started to walk and fell over…
I was there at the beginning of DAoC, and beta tested WAR and subsequently played for a month or two.
WAR was two games overlaid, that is why it seemed too instanced. Imo, war was first a collection of BGs. You flew to the Dwarf world to get in …

Low population is a death nail for any MMORPG and certainly F2P can help alleviate that, but my experience has been that sub games have retained my interest longer than F2P. DAoC and WoW kept me interested much longer than Rift or GW2. No matter wha…
One thing Blizzard did at the start of WOW was to allow skill respecs for ridiculously small amounts of game coin because they realized respecing was essential to game play.I remember the early days of DAoC, before WoW, and many were supremely piss…

+ It sounds like a top notch AAA MMORPG theme park, but with PVP BUILT IN!!!!! -Long Live DAoC!
+ Crafting done right, where your best items CAN be made.
+ Amazing background story.
+ Dark, lean graphics which suit the PVP bent. (The first thi…
if you want pvp, play TESO.
EQ has always been a PVE franchise, and c'mon, the big day, the big reveal and they don't mention PVP? You might see BG's, or Esport or maybe even a WoW Wintergrasp thing, but forget PvP in EQNext. That's been written at…
Titan is not a mystery. There has been no real competitor for WoW yet. The company still brings in at a minimum 1 billion a year in revenue. So there is zero reason to make Titan a reality at this point. None, zilch. No intelligent billion dollar bu…
