Finally made a nightshade template with all MP armor. Managed to actually cap EVERYTHING except envenom, for which I shall use a swap item.

My wife, brother-in-law and I are playing on Alb Phoenix - Cleric, Merc and Sorc. Not sure if anyone else is playing in Albion or if it's strictly Mid and Hib goons :)

If that's the case, we're at 45 now and should hit 50 within the week so I guess I'll mez you assholes in the near future.

Im on alb a lot.

Will do! I saw you idling in the Phoenix Discord and meant to send you a message on Tuesday night.

I primarily play my Sorc named Draede. My wife plays her Cleric Felurien and my brother-in-laws Merc is named Hems.

We tried doing DF Tuesday while we had it but Alb didn't hold control for long and the Mids cleared us out before we were able to fully capitalize on the 4 personal tasks you can complete simultaneously at the drinker spawn. We'll likely push through the last 5 levels to 50 mostly near Caer Diogel doing task item turns ins and kill tasks and mix in some Frontier xping and PvP.

We just came back to DAoC about a month or so ago after not playing since like 2004. We played Mid Percival for most of the time we played during the heyday of the game so I wanted to play a realm and class type I didn't have a lot of experience with this time to make it more interesting. I miss how much simpler group composition is in Midgard but the change of pace is nice.

I got denied a group the other day because the previous group I was in was lead by a guy who upset the leader of the second group over how he should've built his cleric. I don't even know these people and I got blacklisted by association.

Old school MMOs never fail to break out the worst pettiness in people. I'm just glad this server lets you squeeze out half a level alone.

This.

The game is filled with people who want to tell you how it is and how it should be. I miss the days where I could actually enjoy the game and spec/play the way I want to.

Broadsword hosed over Phoenix partially by forcing them to take a new build of the world. Some areas don't look like classic DAoC anymore. I don't know why the server doesn't host its own poo poo that's kind of weird.

In addition, found out Albion has a significant presence of maga chuds. Political derails are happening more often and the mods have only handed out warnings.

Also I lied, I got my armsman to 50 and a cabby is not far behind.

If anyone plays hib.. well hit me up on steam as my sa username and we will do some killing. (Also have a 50 chanter, tried to make a third char but I've reached my leveling limit)

I've got a small guild of 5-6 going right now in Alb. Slowly building up to a solid, regular 8-man squad so we can run regular RvR nights. We're all Percival server veterans that used to play together, just getting the band back together for nostalgia's sake.

with the task items, kill tasks and mob type exp bonuses the leveling is fast. We knocked out 6 levels in a little over an hour last night helping some of the new additions get there characters leveled up. We should have the new characters and some additional alts all to 50 within a week, then we can get down to some serious RvR.

We do not! We're leveling up some minstrel alts but no one is running minstrel as their main.

Right now for main's we have - Cleric, Cleric, Sorcerer, Cabalist, Mercenary. Possible Armsman joining Friday and may have a few other vets we reached out to coming to play as well. We'll see how persuasive our arguments are with those we've reached out to.

What realm did you play on Percival?? What was your character name? Maybe we knew you!

We're plugging away to get the other Cleric to 50 (already at 35) so we should be ready to RvR regularly inside a week. Would love to have you come run with us!

On Percival I was a Hero in Hib originally as Dace. Then I moved to Mid and ran the guild Twilight Mourning, played as Jormundir, Embec, Khak, Kaloop and a bunch of others.

We got to be good friends with Serapis, Mercy, Rayn and Nerhesi :) They would come out to my place in California for meet ups all the time.

My two main characters on Phoenix are Draede my Sorc and Esmond my Cleric if you ever want to look me up.

Twlight bring your Minstrel! We've got five people at 50 now. We ran around in the Molvik event last week and had some good RvR runs with pickups in the last 3 slots.

Goal is to set at least 3 nights a week for regular RvR runs so we can schedule things and keep it interesting for everyone.

We have a powerleveling group setup now to help people get to 50 as fast as possible (2 Clerics, 2 Ice Wizards for PBAE xping).

Daoc f2p is out and phoenix still has well over double the population.

If you want to do f2p you better have an empty inventory, because you can't buy a house and you can't use craft skills lmfao

Never played this before, is it worth checking out for a bit as F2P to see if I like it or are the restrictions too restrictive to have fun?

The F2P restrictions are pretty bad, only 3 races and 5 classes per realm, and they seem pretty arbitrary. I guess Saracens/Kobolds/Lurikeens are too OP for F2P?

If you subscribe, and create every class/race combination you think you want to play, you can keep those characters once you go back to Free to Play.

I have a bunch of old chars. It is seemingly random as to which ones I can actually use.

Not that it really matters because every single character has a full inventory and vault and no way to get rid of the stuff because you can't even enter a house so if you vendor something important oops sucks to be you.

Both my rr5 highlander paladin, and rr7 saracen minst are playable. My briton heretic is not. Probably because he doesn't have over 7 days played. I logged in the other night and there was a pitiful amount of people on. Not only that but I couldn't figure out how to find any sort of faction wide chat like there is on phoenix. Couple that with having no real sense of if my gear blows or not, I logged out pretty quick.

My gear is probably okay. I got the king's helpers bonus stuff on both the toons. Mostly it's that there are 1k people on phoenix right this moment not spread across a crazy amount of zones and instances.

Without the original zone layouts (mostly the starting towns and frontiers), the nostalgia just isn't there for me. I got enough of that while it lasted on Phoenix, I can wait another 15 years.
