Why does everyone bring up WoW. F#%K WoW! It's not only MMO with these abilities and it wasn't the first either.
These simple changes would triple the number of subs within the first 6 months.

4. As far as the casting goes. Lets get rid of "Interupts" and replace it with pushbacks. Like in every other MMO.
You're a moron.
The interrupt system along with CC is what makes RvR so special.
The delicate nature of fights that hinge on if you are good enough to get open to cast more than your enemies is huge. It's all the later on crap like warlocks and pet zergs(bonedancers, modern theurgs, animists etc) that make the game lame.

Here are some things I think should be patched into the game. I feel by doing so it will help bring a whole new generation into the game. I hope someone from Mythic/EA reads this.
1. Have the characters able to jump like in every other MMO on the market.
Bad idea, works great for DAoC, and the issue of exploits.
2. Upgrade the User Interface to the same capabilities as the one i...n Warhammer Online. Being able to mouseover for character and object info makes things a whole lot easier. Plus being able to right click on a charater or there name and have a menu of options makes things easier also.
UI's fixed with Eggi or Bobs or....just about any other. Yes, the default one needs a complete change to be better looking and more effective, but PLEASE no more LSD-inspired icons. Too much on screen data for crackbabies just gets in the way of my gameplay, there is too much action as is to have popups crapping all over my gameplay. Dont change it. I cant think for the life of me what I would want a context menu to do when I right click on someone.....
3. The fighitng mechanics are horible. Its like playing Virtual Fighter 1 when you could be playing Mortal Kombat. You're able to spam casting, but if you hit a melee twice to fast it cancels? FAIL.
Like someone else said, /cancelstyle. Dont spam styles, too. Thats not how a game this deep should work.
4. As far as the casting goes. Lets get rid of "Interupts" and replace it with pushbacks. Like in every other MMO.
Nope, this game works the way it does for a reason....it WORKS, with a few coding details needed here and there.
5. The Minatuars was the worst idea. Maybee in one realm, but in all 3? This isn't WoW. Along with that. the Mauler should have been given to the Midgaurd to even the classes insted of all 3 realm...s. Once again, is this WoW?
True, I am not sure how Minotaurs fit in with Celtic or Camelot Lore, but there IS mythology of the Minotaur in Greek texts.
6. Commercials? In the past decade, I've never seen a commercial on any game you put out. Media on TV would help greatly get the numbers back up.
We have seen cries for advertising for years, but the shift from the Tutorial zone to the Classic lands is rather harsh for newbs. Tutorial is great to start with, though.
7. Finally and the least important, but I must say anyway. Template making could be a whole lot easier if you catch my drift. It can be a pain and take months to gear your toon corectly.
Template issue allready spoken about (is none).

A couple of comments:
1. The templating system in DAOC is rich and interesting, it's one of the things I really like about the game. I would suggest though that Mythic/EA provide an official database of all static/crafted items, to assist all the player-driven efforts to make templating easier (Leladia's, Kort's, etc., and Ethinarg's database).
2. The interrupt system is part of what makes this game great. You really do have a paper/rock/scissors scenario where casters are very deadly from range, and melee are very deadly up close. From my experience, this is more fun than WoW-style PvP where class roles and survivability are not as variable or situational.

This is the only thing you've suggested that I'd like to see. Advertising is a good idea but it's a waste of time unless they get the old lands up to date with the tutorial.

I'm not a fan of WoW, but if Mythic/EA cared atleast half as much as Blizzard does, DAOC never would have fallen like it has.
Yes its Mythic/EA's fault....they can make a game, but can't manage it for [profanity].
The only reason WoW is the #1 P2P MMO on the market is because Blizzard is a great company.

Agree that it is EA Mythic's 'fault' or 'credit' that DAoC is what it is.
WoW however has 12 million paying subscribers because people like it; not because it is made by Blizzard. People might try WoW because it is made by Blizzard but they keep playing (or coming back to it) because they like it. Not because Blizzard is a great company. WoW does things and pushes people buttons in a way that DAoC does not.
Bottomline: Blizzard have looked after WoW.
