DF was the best place for PVP and small action.

DF is nothing more than yet another stealther playground (and the typical lowbie ganker PvP style).

Anyway I say give all stealth classes 24/7 free access to DF.. at least it would make NF somewhat playable again for solo/small man visi's.

If you want DF active again, all they'd have to do is to re-itemize it (again) with rewards that people would actually want to use in high-end templates.

Example: Make the diamond loot comparable with dragon loot but also increase the cost and change the droprate of seals to match dragonscales. Then add new loot to the bosses too.

This would
1) create more siege action in NF as people would have more incentives to take and keep control of keeps
2) somewhat restore DF to its glory days



QFT. DF is one of the best things about DAOC, it pains me that there's so little reason to go down there in the current game. One of my fondest memories of early DAOC is clearing out/defending DF after your realm captured/lost it.

IMO remove most or all the steps leading up to each realm's port in point, leaving only a prescience node effect and a few group-killable realm guards near the zone in portal.

Yeah because everybody is waiting on zoning into yet another macro PBAOE group and insta dying.

If you want to kill people before they can even move, I suggest you join OpenBook when the alb relic gates are open, and camp the relic town with the other 8+ hunters/sbs to kill unbuffed people that are logging into the game.

Great Idea!

Perhaps for some this is the problem with DF but for me the problem is all the stealthers

especially with the demonic weapon ability. I still like df but getting ganked constantly

is not for me.


Once upon a time once you cleared out the stealthers it was safe for the realm who had

it and getting it back was not so easy as it is today.


Poor old game is in bad shape. Damn there is no where else to go..... TODAY !
