I'm planning on re-subbing tonight to roll a character on Mordred. If anyone's bored just do a /who Jam (undecided on the name but it will start with Jam) and look me up, probably going to make a theurgist or reaver.

It wasn't the players fault that the server died, it was mythic's fault for neglecting it. Every single game has assholes, and like he said before if you play like an asshole you get treated like an asshole by the others. Whole guilds were kill-on-sight for their asshole behavior, and you can't really punish anyone for being an asshole on blue servers like you can on mordred, so your argument is quite flawed. He said it best, the people who whine were the ones who didn't have any common sense whatsoever.

A pvp/gaheris mix would not be as fun as mordred, but it would be an interesting server.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this , ok really I'm not but as I was saying. You are incorrect it was the players who killed it I'll repeat with caps IT WAS THE PLAYERS THAT KILLED IT! And heres how we know its true no matter how much you try to deflect the blame from yourselfs. Mythic neglected all its servers equally but they did not make you kill grey's the player base did that on there own. And unlike in game mobs they do not repop and went to were a level 50 could not kill them while xping unless they were in a rvr zone. That left you with nothing but other level 50's to kill and what fun is it when the other guy can win, so of course they left to. But Mythic did give you other grey's to kill that would always come back. And killing mobs is not the same so now your begging the grey's to come back with the " This was the greatest server ever speech" but if you want us. We will be in the blue server were you can level to 50 in peace, get your gear, come to nf and say hello to my rr12 sb. But at least then you'll have a chance ( all be it small ) to win.

You do realize the fallacy of claiming it was the players who killed the server by citing game mechanics that allowed high level players to initiate combat with low level players? Mythic could have addressed this issue with combat flags or provided Battlegrounds for Mordred, as suggested dozens of times.

I sound like a broken record after all of these years, but people still refuse to acknowledge that changes could have been made to the ruleset to address the issues they cite for not enjoying the server (primarily ganking).

All of this arguing over "THE reason people left Mordred," is dumb, and sounds like some academic political science debate.


Here are the FACTS:
1) Mordred is a DIFFERENT server today. It is easy, just like every other server. DAOC pve is a joke everywhere. Mord used to be by far the toughest, now its the easiest.

2) The ENTIRE DAOC population has declined, so lets not confuse slight fluctuations of current with the huge outward flow of people from the entire game.


Easy nuf?


Here are strong Opinions:
1) for ACTUAL good players, and people who enjoy small man or solo, Mordred fits like a Glove.

2) If Mordred was renamed, and had some press release, a decent amount of people would roll there.

3) If charcopy mord was available, it would take on 40% of DAOCs population instantly.

I don't understand why they don't allow /charcopy on mordred. Furthermore what is the population on mordred like and where are most of the fights that happen?

I didnt mind being ganked, what the BS was, was the trash talk afterwards! Not bad enough that a lvl 50 cl10 ml10 cheese ass class killed a lvl 20 player trying to get geared, BUT then that same lvl 50 tells you to "F&^%$ing go back to the blue server noob". If that wasnt bad enough, the Radar, speedhacking, portal camping, portal hopping in combat BS got old real GD quick. Plus if that wasn't enough to make ya delete, then there was the getting ganked 20 times and your con being at 0 because you couldn't afford to heal!


Daamien i applaud your effort, but your time would be better spent just doing nothing, rather than trying to get people back to that GD EPEEN contest called Mordred!


i tried mordred, 6 times i tried it! vowed NEVER to go back!

I wasn't really trying to get anyone to play Mordred, just proposing an alternative way of looking at why the server failed. I wouldn't actively encourage players to spend time on the server any more, but at the same time wouldn't discourage them from doing so. It's sort of like a "swim at your own risk" situation this late in the game's life-cycle and now that Mordred ran out of a meaningful population to successfully lobby for needed changes.

FE/Sin Vida/Humanslingshot/Blastoi are on the server taking keeps for scales in hopes more will join in
