I haven't been following Uthgard development and progress at all honestly. They'd better start it up before CU is released/beta though. Any guesstimated ETA?

As for the realm I agree with Pringles, we've had a good run on midgard on Genesis. And while it is probably the most competitive realm as all the core abilities/skills are concentrated in the minimum amount of classes, I'd like a change.
However Albion is on the other end of the spectrum where all cool pvp abilities are so thinned out over the different classes. So my vote goes to Hibernia.

Scumbag...
How many times did our group invite a second unknown druid to our 8-man, and the first thing they do is summoning a blue con bear pet. Then you know you're in for trouble...
Cave Shamen and even arguably Smite Clerics have their use. But... aww man no.

If we roll Hibernia on Uthgard I might consider rolling a Mentalist, never got to play one but always loved their toolkit (even if it wasn't that optimal for pvp)

Nature druids are good and cool. If they're specced right. aoe roots/insta roots are pretty nice especially against tank heavy groups. But it's kind of hard to justify one on Uthgard with the lack of buffbots.

I'm not sure how Uthgard is going to handle Earth Wizards, but on live they are god drat amazing. I guess I could be convinced to play any realm, but I just love alb so much. :(

Speaking of garbage: My first Hib was a mentalist, and boy was it discouraging when I rolled into RVR that first time and sat on the wall of a keep, waiting for some dummies to get in range of my dot. Sure enough, a group ran by and I splashed all of them with the aoe dot. MAYBE half of the dots crit for about 125 damage per tick while the rest hovered around the 80's. I don't even think the group stopped to cleanse or heal, they just kept on running by. :downsgun:

For levelling up as a Mentalist definitely go the PoM/HoT/DoT line, but at 40 respeccing to the illusions line or whatever it was called is kind of required if you want to do any serious PvP as a light nuker. Also being able to charm some particular mobs adds to the fun (and frustration) factor.

It'd better relaunch before CU, and not like 1 month before....

The first few weeks of Genesis were really great. And if that plat transfer scandal had not happened I think people would have stayed once they got their server crashes / zone resets under control.

I'm still predicting a summer launch. With the recent flurry of activity (and the announcement of them scrapping SI lands for launch.) it seems likely.

[08:41:19] <@[Uth]Trishin> did you read the grab bag yet?
[08:42:27] <[Infinitum]> No 'new' news at the moment Dottormetallic
[08:43:10] <Dottormetallic> yes i read trishin :)
[08:43:59] <Dottormetallic> but all us need an ETA :)
[08:44:22] <@[Uth]Trishin> I see you werent in here yesterday
[08:45:03] <Dottormetallic> i work drat :(
[08:45:15] <[Infinitum]> It will be done when it's done Dottormetallic ;)
[08:45:40] <@[Uth]Trishin> Basically it's a practical impossibility to give an ETA at this moment (and most likely will be until we are at 90-99% finished)
[08:46:25] <[Infinitum]> Preferably 99%.
[08:46:40] <@[Uth]Trishin> That at least will make it more likely to be a reachable ETA
[08:46:56] <Dottormetallic> yes basically, you cant give an ETA... mmm it's possible to know what miss in the DB of the server for open the server ? if need hard work or not :)
[08:47:16] <@[Uth]Trishin> It's not what is missing in the DB, but yes it's hard work
[08:47:29] <@[Uth]Trishin> Blue is still rewriting the entire RvR code (keeps, guards, relics, etc)
[08:47:32] <Dottormetallic> uhhh T_T
[08:47:46] <Dottormetallic> hard work really
[08:48:03] <@[Uth]Trishin> Also we have a bunch of other issues still open
[08:48:22] <@[Uth]Trishin> that has to be fixed before we reopen (and by has to, I mean has to)
[08:49:06] <Dottormetallic> mmm i think so another 2 or 3 months so...
[08:49:34] <Dottormetallic> other *
[08:49:55] <@[Uth]Trishin> Could eta anything from 1 month to 10 years at this point
[08:50:08] <@[Uth]Trishin> It all depends on RL schedules
[08:50:13] <Dottormetallic> yeah T_T
[08:50:54] <Dottormetallic> if you need a scripter or coder for a help, ask ;)

I would play an eld if I can get in on the leveling groups early. I guess it depends on when it's actually released and what is going on in life at that point.

Is anyone playing live at the moment? I'm getting the itch a little bit

As of a few months ago there is a r12 smite cleric on live [who is a buttlord] who does a shocking amount of damage.

When we first hit their group and they yelled "TARGET <smite cleric>" on inc I laughed and then he stunned and triple nuked my fully sced blademaster to death.

Live just never scratches that itch for me. It's all so foreign and weird. And I never make it out of the 49 battle ground, because it takes like 9 months to cap out.

Be warned though I am only making a non-stealther so I can get actual raid drops. All the rest of my time will be spent perfing people and running away. I figured a bard is wanted everywhere. And you don't sacrifice much putting like 21 into blades.

Wellllllllllllllll,

Every Uthgard staff member quit irc except 1 (they were all connected to irc via the uthgard server), and the one remaining person had no idea what happened for a few days, and then when they did know, wouldn't say.

A couple days ago everything came back up and was misconfigured, with every directory browsable, including commit logs and forum/game account emails. An hour or two later and it was back down again.

Everything seems back to normal now, and it appears they switched from apache to nginx
