DAoC could come back but it would need some effort and risk taking.


But I think that even with small budget game could be made more attractive for new and old players.

Like so many others have posted their opinions, here are mine


1. Remove 10-20% of utilites, spells, styles etc.

-- game has received many expansions, patches, fixes, balancing etc. Remove some of the stuff and make the code and game less hassle.

* not make it too simple but even taking something away can be a good thing

* might even help the programmers in future


2. "Fix" Herald -site.


3. Include on that site:

-- up to date explanation of spells, styles, procs etc.

-- instructions for classes (what is their role in pve and rvr, what is expected in groups etc)

* Time consuming task and maybe could be done by players and put to site after inspection (free playtime for authors?)


4. Change ML's so that players can train for both lines (or even more, like CL's)

* Don't know if it easy to code but if it was it could perhaps bring something new to old players also

darkfall is pretty awesome, but there's ~3 months of grinding/macroing you'll need to do before you'll be seriously competitive.


a (very accurate) quote from a youtube vid i recently saw:
"unlike other MMO's that flatter and make you think you're a special little boy, darkfall kicks you in the nuts? as a welcome"

an overview (bit dated, but pretty accurate):
misc gameplay
A typical DF "raid"

DOoC can still be fun. (But not every night)

It needs players to come back and be patient.

People need to help out newer players. Maybe even Zerg on Zerg until newer players can get Higher RR.

If one realm is dominating, then log onto another and balance out the game.

If your 8 man keeps getting zergged down, then run with other groups.

Eventually more consistent 8v8 game play will return.

I find occasionally fun 8v8 going on right now.

I've actaully had a few great nights of 8v8 in the past couple weeks.

There isn't a live AAA MMO with anything that compares to DAOC's RvR. WAR comes closest but falls well short. Probably the most similar game coming out in the next year is Guild Wars 2 which will have RvR where instead of 3 realms there will be competition between 3 servers and the servers in each cluster will be randomly(?) changed every so often.

Yet the same classes will be on all 3 realms

And no word on PvP/RvR ability progression rewards for player killing
