DaTank19 Posts: 2 Registered: 2003-12-3 23:50:35	So I used to play DAoC just over 8 years ago and am getting back, I see a lot has changed and by reading others Back posts I have gathered quite a bit of info about starting back up. I am starting clean because I don't have a clue what my old accounts were, but they were just a buffbot and a Healer so I am not too concerned. If I am running a BB what is the best way to go about leveling, I see they added more quests to the game but you never quested back when I played. You ran with a bot to a dungeon as a SM (I played Mid) and you pulled what you could. Is this still true today? Is questing worth the time invested? I see people saying doing the BGs quests is the best way to go about this, but I don't think that would help a bot, would it? Anyways, any info would be greatly appreciated. -----signature----- Saphyred 80 Hunter Kul Tiras Saphyrez/Saphyred - 50 Healer/Hunter (Retired)

	short answer... do the tutorial zone until about level 10-15. then go to the battlegrounds and do the repeatable quests there. You might want to collect some RPs and extra bounty points before you hit 50. I'd consider staying in molvik or cathal valley for a bit. (by using /xp off) alternatively, there are quest hub zones that you can do instead of the battlegrounds. a little slower xp but a little less repetitive. These are marked at main teleporters across the realm, a different zone for each level interval corresponding to the battleground intervals. -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbkAF93qW5k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIaORknS1Dk http://gimpchimp.etilader.com/display.php?user=Doorknob

As the player population continued to shrink, Mythic needed to continue clustering servers but they had a huge problem, the database of old characters was becoming so huge (on the existing clusters) the database was becoming unmanageable. Because the existing databases were so huge, Mythic could no longer combine the databases, which meant they could not form a new cluster (yet they needed to cluster the final servers together to keep the population up to keep RvR viable). Mythicâ€™s solution, create a new server that everyone, all active players, will transfer to (everyone transfers except Mordred and the Coop). There are 10 Ywain login servers that are just character holding areas. The 10 login servers allow players to transfer up to 100 old characters to the new server, but Ywain 1-10 is only one server. The old servers will be maintained as character holding areas for returning players; so returning players can come back and transfer toons over to Ywain. If you have level 50s on the old Classic server, there is a quest that gives free ML credit before you are allowed to transfer. Mostly it does not matter which Ywain you use, as all Ywains are really just one server, but housing on Ywain 1-3 is very full so if you are thinking of getting a house I would use a different Ywain than 1-3.

	So much has changed. Read patch notes and I would recommend just leveling another character and learning the new spells/icons/ui/styles and blah balh. -----signature----- Boooooommmm Heeeaaaddddshhhhooooottttt! http://www.carellaross.com/img/truth_its_the_new_hate_speech.jpg Mastatheimposta - 10L2 SB Merlin
