Old Frontier... |
|
So today I was playing around on alb and found I could lag into the old frontiers. I ran around for quite a while and here is what I found. First I hit Excalibur and found the old gatekeepers you would click on and port into there at the keep. I went inside. There was no relic, but the port to DF was still there and there were guards. So I continued on. I found mobs still out there, but didn't get any loot. I was curious if they would give the rvr bonus to xp and they didn't. Darn, I was thinking about bringing out my theur and levelling safely lol. I ran by berk and there was no gatekeeper to climb in, but playing a minstrel I just climbed the walls. There were no guards or keep lord there. So I continued on and went by a portal keep. I wanted to know if I could get into old hib or mid frontiers in hopes of having 8v8 fights. Well, the guards still man the port keeps and kill you just as fast.
What really bothers me is that Mythic said the old frontier didn't exist anymore. Oh, it does, it's alive and well! You can't blow smoke up my *ss anymore Mythic! I think it's a real shame they didn't rename the keeps and turn it into something fun, or at least have an occassional weekend with old frontier RvR.
What a waste of something that gave all the subscribers of DAoC countless hours of fun!
So, why am I posting this? Because I'm thoroughly peeved that Mythic lied to me by telling everyone the old frontier was deleted when the Old Frontier came online. It's alive and well and complete!

Mythic never said Old Frontiers no longer existed and everyone has known this for a long time.

Sorry, that's not how I remember it...
Most importantly, why don't they open it up for 8 man duels rather than letting them just waste away?

Welcome to the day after NF came out... And FYI that's not actually OF.
In other news, you can get into actual real actual OF if you had a character logged out there that you never ever touched again.

Probably not a good idea to further dilute the RvR population. New Frontiers is pretty huge already.

If NF is already to big, why don't they get rid of poorly designed lag heavy Agramon and let people have a better 8v8 grounds where they spent 5+ years subscribing to this game? But oh well, I won't put it past Mythic to alienate the OF players... Oh well, I'm probably about the only one that loved OF more then NF that still subscribes anyway...

Mythic has a skeleton crew. No resources and no real dev team. Hell, even WAR is currently in this state. Don't expect much of anything, except maybe the occasional small tweak here and there and a live event here and there.

Exactly. NF is way too big for the players RvRing as it is.
