As for your "elite" and "A player" nonsense, don't kid yourself lol. You're talking about being "elite" in a game that died almost 10 years ago, and which at its peak had like 2% of the playing population of WoW. Congrats on being 1337 though, rofl.



As a general rule, I avoided former WOW players and looked for former DAOC players to play with in WAR, Rift, Age of Conan etc...
Worked wonderfully



So did I (only played WAR and Aion) but that didn't make those games suck any less either lol.

WoW is not a PvP based game. WoW is a raiding game with PvP bolted on. However, WoW's game playing mechanics are light years ahead of DAOC's or WAR's and Aion's. It wouldn't make sense to seek out people who only played WoW if one was going to play WAR, or Aion.

DAOC is the best game because it died after 3 years and mostly because it isn't WoW! - DAOC has-beens.

I thought died meant the servers go offline for good?

Pro tip : you don't play with all 5 million players. I could care less how many subs a game has, as long as it's fun.

one daoc server- average pop between 1500-2000.

since there's ALWAYS people playing, then it's not dead.

also, it's better than WOW, but super mario kart is better than wow too, so that's not much to brag about.

DAOC is the bestest game since it's not WoW!



Stop being an idiot lol. I actually can't believe you don't play WoW at least in the Arena. You're the type of gamer who would love that.

Pre set determined fights that are always the same thing every time? no thanks

open world RVR is light years ahead of arena style pvp. I find it boring.

keep in mind, I also play RoM which is exactly like wow, but with more class/skills. I hate the arena in that as well. I'm just not a fan of arena style pvp.. I never caught on to it. I'm not saying it should be abolished for good, but it's not nearly as interesting as world pvp.

all the power to those that want to play arena style, though.. I just prefer randomness.

I hate Arena PvP in WoW too. The closest thing to "World PvP" in WoW is the Alterac Valley battleground which back in the early days of WoW could (and did) quite literally go on for days at a time with 40 vs. 40 people and all the tower humping you could ever want.

I've noted in this thread already that WoW's PvP concept is terrible, but its mechanics are excellent. DAOC's RvR concept was the best EVER in an MMO, but it's mechanics were fkn terrible.
