On Saturday I leveled my Healer from 1 to 11 with a bunch of friendly pubbies. I didn't manage to get online on Sunday, so when I logged back in on Monday I found 3 of those pubbies were in their twenties (a RL friends group apparently). They invited me anyway because my power buff and tiny heals + group bonus made them gain a nice amount of extra exp. And I was also getting great exp. Never not group on Genesis. I had also forgotten about the mechanic that unspecced baseline spells had a huge variance. In other games specializing always meant higher damage/healing numbers. But I don't recall ever seeing spells varying to lower numbers when unspecced. I really dig this mechanic. I have played so many MMO's over the past decade, and I came to like a couple of them. But none of them have made me care so much about the possibilities that each class had. Camelot unchained would start with only 4 Archetype classes, I seriously hope they duplicate the same kind of specialization DaoC has, with permanent class defining choices.

How are cave/aug shamans on Origins? That used to be my main back in the day, often healing in levelling groups, and it'd be great to hop down nostalgia lane. How does respeccing work, I seem to remember you had free respecs at 20 and 40, and somehow you got respec stones or something? Seems so long ago...

You're probably better off going mostly aug in groups while leveling, I'd say someone is always going to want a shaman. Your spec buffs and mediocre heals will get you into groups easily. I'm not sure about respecs at 20 and 40 on this server but I assume they exist. Otherwise, raid content drops respec stones and I've seen them in trade going for as low as 100g, so I assume someone is farming the dragon by now.

You're granted 2 realm and 2 full respecs per character on this server. Then the stones drop quite often.

Logging in during the day isn't hard if you spam log in. Kinda hard with DaocPortal or the Origins launcher but Mojo launches the client instantly. Takes a dozen tries or so during Euro primetime to log in if you try really fast. Mojo also has some cool features like removing window borders so you can play in fullscreen windowed mode and it can automatically launch into certain characters directly. You can get it here: http://mojoware.org/ but you will need a mod to use it on Origins that someone posted here: http://daoc-origins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5441 On the topic of mods I also recommend getting Bob's UI and spending 30 minutes or so tweaking it with the options chooser. If you're a healing class there are some nice unit frames that are far better than the default UI. http://bobsui.koamon.com/downloads.html An example of what it can look like:

Also good tip on using Mojo as a launcher. While the Genesis launcher is of equal speed, it is also at the mercy of their tinkering. Using something like Mojo/Genesis Launcher to get in while the server is full is the way to do it.

Making an alt account can get you banned from the server. They're trying to prevent cross realming. Found this info dump. It's a bit after ToA but it's the basic nuts and bolts of DAoC which I'm pretty sure didn't change much. http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/showthread.php?25609-Interesting-DAoC-NFO

Multi-realming is actually one of the big things that sucks with live the few times I've peeked my head in over the last year or two. The masses follow what realm has the relics currently and just zerg everything.

WvWvW pairing mechanic from Guildwars for me was their greatest contribution to RvR idea's. An auto balancing mechanism over time that pairs (well is 3 a pair?) up servers of similar strength. If asymmetric classes are too big of a (balancing) challenge for modern gaming, this is the way to go IMO. No server population balance issues. The only drawback is that you cannot have a nemesis enemy group/guild/player since these would eventually rotate away.

Would any of you be interested in joining an 8 man rvr group? So far I think we've got a skald, aug healer, RM, and savage. We could use another healer, or two, and a shaman. We've also got room for another DPS or two. You can message me on here if you're interested, or on Kudos or Kudoss in game. If we're able to run 3 healers, we'll probably have the RM go Supp for PBT, and we'll just survive forever.

3 healers is pretty overkill, I'd think you'd want another dps in there.

Actually from 10 years ago I remember a 3-Healer group to be the terror of the server on Guinevere. 3 Healers, a Shaman, a Skald , a Warrior as main assist and I believe two Zerkers (I think this was pre-SI, not sure). They didn't care much for Keep defense , but their favourite past time was simply rushing into the AMF zergs (Alb vs Hib) and coming out almost unharmed. Yes off course this can be countered and all, but it was beautiful.
