'Have you played on the alternative rule sets? Do you think anything can be done to revive those servers?'

Is this even a serious question?

Many people played ONLY on Mordred.

We all have fond memories, heck not a week goes by where one of us doesn't mention Mordred.

But Mythic was terrible supporting that server.

I was the GM of the #1 guild on Mordred, indeed the #1 guild in the entire game.

But no one cared, or even asked, when due to changes to the server we left en masse.

How funny is that, Mythic made a MAJOR change to the server, without even announcing it in ANY patch.

No one on the entire server had a chance to comment.

Mythic, without a single note to the population, changed the entire server.

So we,

the top guild on the server,

left.

Mythic listened to some bad advice from a clueless TL. I mean we have screenshots of this TL not knowing basics about how the game worked.

If you want real info, why not talk to the people who played the game hard for 5 years?

I think 50 accounts left when our guild pulled the plug on Mordred, and there were times when we were 20% of the whole server pop.

You want more real comments from serious players, let us know.

(and none of us trust VN, since the same TL that ruined the server, was also a mod on VN that censored our posts. Yes, it was that bad).

Shoot me a PM if you really care.



SV was trash, and it's trash stealthers completely vanished once relics were gone.

It's hard to take this seriously, when the same things have been said for so long before finally being implemented. Reavers wanted charge for years before they got it. NS nukes needed to be reduced long before they were. Vamps and locks were deliberately overpowered so people would play them and gain fast rr, and both were toned down long after they should have been. Thanes have wanted to be on a higher WS table for years, and only just got it. It seems as though the playerbase knows what it wants, and has no difficulty articulating this. The problem is one of reception and implementation. Making Mordred a portal that bluebies can choose to join would flood Mordred again, as it became the real test for the "leets" and people realized how cool it is to group, for example, a light eld and a body sorc. EA/Mythic just needs to move on what the playerbase has been saying for years, or just give up any pretense of caring.

As someone above mentioned, the proposed changes (Origins and the server merge with Mordred) were so great, that i'd have expected to still have been playing today.

Unfortunatly...all that good work went for nothing, and now DAOC has lagged yet even further behind in the charts.

I loved OF and i loved Mordred, the latter providing what little pleasure i got from the game post NF...now however, it is rarely worth playing Mordred unless you, strangley...enjoy easy leveling and PVE.

I really wish Mythic had kept to their plans back in 2008...it's a true shame.
