Although they did open up Cathal Valley on Gaheris as a PVE zone complete with 2 high level mobs in the keep that drop seals and trophies.



Indeed they did and as a result did not uphold Mordred's end of the bargain. Oh well, I'm happy that Gaheris got something out of it when Mythic would have otherwise left both the servers untouched.



LOL...well they kinda gave Gaheris something. A bugged encounter that has never really worked. So although it's open, most of the time it's useless.

Yeah, from what I understand it often needs to be manually reset by CSRs.

I have never had an issue with Cathal Valley Keep on Gaheris and I have killed both bosses at least 30-40 times in the past month.

There have been many simple ideas thrown out to EA for years on how to improve Mordred. The problem is that they get ignored. Its almost like they have a personal disire for the server to die. They have turned a cold shoulder time and time again.

I think the first step would be to do something, anything at all. People will never come back if the people that created the game don't care enough about the server to make simple changes. They should treat Mordred like a different game. Most people that played on Mordred didn't play Daoc, they played on Mordred. I don't think EA understands that. When they did nothing for Mordred they figured we would all go play on blue servers. But most quit the game entirely. Why play on a blue server on this crap game when we can all go play blue servers on WoW or Rift or what ever. And guess what, none of thoses games have a Mordred.

There are alot of people out there that still have that itch to play on Mordred. Its not blue and its not friendly. Its for the people that want to earn there Realm Rank instead of collect it. It's me and my pals against every one else. Not me and my realm against 2 other realms. We are going to kill you if you con green, we are going to kill you if your xpin, we are going to kill you if your afk. Because thats what happened to us. If you go out into the world here your not safe, and thats what made it exciting and fun. You can't stick up and afk, you have to pull your weight and contribute.

I know of alot of people that have said they would play again if the pop was 500 or 1000 or what ever. I also know alot of people who have said they will never play again because of EA's incompetence when in comes to Mordred. If they want the server to come alive, then they should start by implementing a combat port timer, or make it so we cant use port stones in NF. Makes some simple changes like that and go from there.

The sad thing is I know whats going to happen to Mordred along with every one else, Nothing.

I didnt post thoses ideas thinking that they were great ideas. I said they would be simple changes to maybe get things started. In fact I dont even really like the diea of a combat port timer. I'm sure they will never have character copies to Mordred. If people cry enough they might let chopies off of Mordred.

the only thing that will bring back mordred is population... how you get population?? allow the bluebie invasion #3 but this time they can copy there toons so there epeens are at the top.. but then will just die a month later when they get sent back to there bluebie server with the epeen between there legs. so i guess its pointless just let us transfer off mordred heh.

I agree that if a bunch of blue babies come over it woun't last long. They can't hang here, so the only way to get a population back on Mordred is to make it appeal to people that used to play here. The subject of the post is thoughts on the alternatvie rule set, how to make it better. Not, it will never get better so let me copy off.

I would deffinetly copy my characters over to another server if the opportunity arises. That beeing said, I still would not enjoy it as much as Mordred. So if some one is interested in how to make the rule set better, I will put in my two cents instead of saying it will never work let me char copy off.

I have very low expectations of Mordred at this point to say the least. History has shown that nothing will get done. The best thing is to allow char copy off. But it would be nice to see them do something.

Level 50 battleground, Cathal Valley. Always available to port to. Hopefully the zergers and people who care about relics would stay in NF!
