Lol yeah. I am glad they apparently read my negative feedback form. It was full of negativity

1) Put a 10-15 sec timer for zoning and porting after combat ends

2) Add a charcopy feature from Ywain to Mordred

3) Completely remove Keeps/Towers/Relics from Mordred


Can almost guarantee the population would drastically increase, for a couple of months at best. Crap players would realize they can't hide behind a 100 person zerg anymore, soaking up free realm point for keeps/towers. Eventually returning back to Ywain because they couldn't cut it in an open PvP type setting. Fact is people are just lazy as shit now and forgot what this game was all about. All people care about now is that stupid ass number attached to their characters, could careless about having any skill at all.

Yea, I would return in a heartbeat.

Even though I was a mediocre player at best. Mord was the best of times. Going back to Ywain has never really captured the thrill of Mord, nor will it ever.

I can agree with a 10 sec combat timer, but i don't like the other two ideas.


I think if you are going to be successful on Mordred you should have to earn it and not copy a blue server character over here. That being said, the population will probably never go up unless they let blue characters copy over to here. Maybe if they only let each account transfer just one character. But I do believe they have already said they can't do it because of code issues and what not. Who knows, maybe its just to much work to do for a empty server.


I like the towers and relic here because its different. You don't have a hole realm to back you up when you try to claim one, just your guild buddies. People are forced to pull there weight if the tower is being defended, instead of hiding in the back and leaching rps.


If Mordred or Daoc itself is ever going to be revived than Mythic needs to make some major changes. And they just don't seem like they want to put in the effort or the cash. The game needs a major graphics upgrade, I'm sure tons of recoding (if thats possible), and they need to spend money on advertising (once the game is actually up to par with others). I'm sure there are tons of people out there that have never even heard of Daoc, but play WoW or Rift. And if those people tried Daoc right now they would be pissed off just because of the graphics alone.


Alot of people judge games on graphics alone, which I understand, but find ridiculous. With games like WoW, Warhammer, And Rift it seems like every combat action is based only by some sort of timer. I like Daoc because you have positional styles, and reactionary styles and what not. You don't just stand in front of your enemy and hit buttons and wait for the timer to pop. If you have ever fought me you now im always trying to move to your side and get a side stun off during a fight. I like usuing tactics like that to win a fight.


We'll thats my opinion any way.

No doubt, I totally agree with having to earn your RP. My cleric is 8L2 and was such RR before all this added heal RP.. and RP bonuses, all that crap. Same as with most/all of my characters, believe the friar was 6L+ before ToA even released.


Only suggest the charcopy feature, because like you said even with /level 40.. noone is going to come over to Mordred. (Since they all have higher RR's on Ywain servers) that being said if you remember back a month ago or so when they opened CV... how packed it was because it wasn't your typical Keepfest.


So imo to get all the new comers AWAY from sitting in NF all day long, just simply remove their reason for being there. Equality being the key here, noone has a "benefit" from having relics or owning a keep. It's all fair play and would rely on people actually learning how to play their classes. Instead of being spoon fed like 90% of RvR(Ywain) people are.


The "move a character" idea simply would not work, since alot of people would hesitate to move their character over to a server where realibility isn't certain. You would have to offer a feature like charcopy on Pendragon is, this way if they wanted to play Mordred they could. If not then they could resort back to Zergin' it up in NF, however once you've copied a character you would not beable to recopy that character even if you delete it from mordred. This would prevent people from just coping a character over and over (when they get higher levels on Ywain). It would be a 1 time option. Either you play Mordred or you plan ywain. not copy your character back and forth.

i would prob play if that happen but rift going good so far.

i might be resubbing this week after im done playing Dynasty warriors 7 (dunno why im hooked). i was going to log into mord and run around for a bit to get a few fights going. i'll repost here when i activate and maybe we can setup some fights. if we can get enough people for 2 groups we could have some old school 8v8 or even 4v4 or whatever we can get going.


since i dont have my main account anymore i think i only have an rr5 skald, rr5 cleric and rr4ish animist left. all my higher rr's are on the old account

There is an active population of 0 on Mordred and Ywain is nothing but a zergfest.

ya ywain is a joke but we could set something up here and get even 6 people and setup some 3 v 3's or 3 groups of 2's or something.

It's gone mates. Move on till the next game comes along.
