Mordred and Andred were the most fun I ever had with my clothes on .

I'd be one of the 100 but I know the other 99 won't come .

Put in a port to mordred from ywain!! so you can port there and be a degenerate when you want to .

Will never happen...the truly fun things are never allowed to happen for some reason .

- 100 would log on.
- 75 would res kill and talk smack about how they just killed your level 35 guy XPing.
- The haves would endlessly farm the have-nots until everyone quit of boredom and frustration (again).
rinse...repeat...

It takes a lot of nails to build a crib, but just one screw to fill it.
Everywhere is walking distance if you have enough time.

Pretty much sums up the Mordred experience.

The 'haves' only have themselves to blame for killing this server eons ago.

The whole Mordred experience revolved around griefing. While I was a big griefer, it is lame. All it does is make people leave. Griefing is the reason open PvP will never last long. As long as people can be complete assholes and tools without consequence griefing will continue to live on.

The open PvP servers began dying early on when they had to essentially cluster Andred with Mordred. Sure the 8mans brought some short lived life to it, but Mordred has been on a downward slope since its release. Welcome to open PvP.

Even if the pop was 100 right now, how do you grief people? So many zones to gain XP, Scales, Glass, BP, and even RP... You can switch places so much that people hunting you down is not worth the time... Almost like Gaheris, just keeps give massive rewards and you can roll any toon combo and PvE any where right now freely... Doing /anon also works wonders...

Just saying this cause in the next two weeks I doubt any one can muster the effort to take any keeps for free loot...


You could play Mordred for the rest of your DAoC life, or till level 5, the fact people think it is "hard" is funny... With free keeps you can compete in PvP in good templates after one or two keep takes.

Mordred was hard when the grind was hard. Getting ganked while xp'ing was always a pita. I quit and stopped playing Mordred before ToA, but I can only imagine the MLs made it worse.

It shouldn't be hard anymore, but no one wants to deal with the griefing, when they can safely pvp when they want. Also there aren't enough hardcore pvp'rs to make Mordred worth while. Mordred really made it so you had to more heavily rely on a guild. These days on the blue servers you don't need a guild for anything.

You are promoting something that has been dead for YEARS.
As for the folks crying about Mordred. hey ... once a pussy, always a pussy.

I don't expect bloobies to understand what those of us who love PvP love. Just let em cry.


Mordred should be a portal experience ONLY, meaning open a Fing portal to Mordred and let those who WANT to swing by for PvP come, the bloobies can stay in there safe zones and be secure. Makr it so if they bind there they are stuck or mae the portal port into Mordred ONLY, you cannot go through it I dunno. Mythic devs SHOULD be able to figure that much out on there own. This stuff ain't hard, it does not take an expert to figure this stuff out. But Mythic would rather just leave the server open and remain DEAD instead of doing something with it constructive. Dumbest company I have ever seen in my life. Now mod this post up all you want mods, but facts are facts.
