Just being able to duel log and run my buffbot without one, or both, of my accounts going LD was a bit of an achievement to me lol
The sad part being that you needed a "buffbot".
But that's out of topic, I guess

My first MMORPG was DAOC. love that game and still do. I hate the fact that games place you in linear grinding. Rift you have the options to close Rifts, dungeons but still best way to lvl is the linear questing.
In Daoc, questing is not the best or fastest way to level. It was simple mob killing grinding. I love this kind of exp bc i can farm areas, i can help guildies and such.
I really wish designers would get away from WoW standards of an MMORPG game and take a look of DAOC. Imagine if a DAOC 2 came out with upgraded graphics, stories, same great RVR and same great pveing. Rest of the MMO's would go out of business!!

That game would fail so hard it's not even funny. You are a tiny minority, and that I'm 100% sure of. Do you really think you're gonna make a successful game in 2010+ by forcing people to group up, find a spot, and grind mobs for hours? Well, you can have your opinion... but don't have any illusions about the success of such a game.

Youre forgetting one detail. I didnt say anything about grping up to pve. i prefer to solo pve actually but i hate doing the linear questing or not having the option to pve in other ways.
what im saying is you have options whereas most WoW like games now you do not.

Don't you? I saw nothing in those games that stopped you from grinding mobs non-stop instead of taking quests...

not really. not as a viable option. there are no good camps either. mobs are always spread apart.

Sadly it was also those types of games which I think built the community the way it did. I loved grouping up with people and heading to the Spraggon Den, where at the good XP spots there based on spawns you might die at any moment. Can't remember the name of the first dungeon with the hags and spiders and such.
I actually really enjoyed getting my first character to level 50, it really was an achievement. Think I had close to 30 days /played on my nightshade. Had such a good time making friends etc. Now since you can pretty much level to max by yourself everybody is jerks to each other (prolly not the only reason but I think it is a large one).
I think the one difficulty with that system at the same time is as the game ages. There aren't many low levels anymore, not many people to group with etc. In the early ages of the game though? Man that is the way to go.
