How is it going? I am starting back up with DAoC. I have a 50 cleric and 50 bard. I kind of haven't played since a year after ToA came out or something like that. I see the game has changed a lot. Any real recommendations about Champion choice etc or even if any of you are looking for a new guild member I would be interested. Any information about what I should do to get my character back up to standard for rvr would be great.

Welcome back. If you're playing Hib I suggest joining "Immortal Defiance" they're a noob guild, but have larger numbers and a large alliance they can help you get going until you need a more rvr oriented guild.

If you're playing Alb I would suggest "Dark Knights of Camelot" they have the largest alliance on Alb and have a very active helpful guild.

As far as templates, specs, and CL paths check the Hibernia/Albion healer sections. You'll find all the info for each class there. If you can't find what you're looking just post on the corresponding forum.

Ywain info:

Server population was dieing and to help keep server population up Mythic was clustering servers together. 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).


Mythic’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.


The following are some links that will have some info that may help
