DAoC truly was the best MMO experience i have had so far, just like WoW is for alot of other people. I thought about goin back to it one final time aswell... but i just made myself realize its what? 10 yrs old now and completely dated. When stuff gets old it just gets blah!
just save all your 8man vids and wait for something new!! and not rift.. its terble!
I tried going back to DAoC about a year ago after playing from a few months before toa to just before laby. Its not the same. The community is shit now, the same bugs are still there that have been there for years and the programmers (or the custodian) left picking it up don't know what the hell to make of it because the code is so f'd up from years of changes. They didn't know how to change the moon back from a pumpkin for holloween for a month for example. Its just not the same anymore. Realm jumping is at its worse right now and the server lags severely or goes boom when more then 4k try to log in. The most I ever saw log in at one time was 4.2k, how it can still be up with that low of a population overall is beyond me. The character models I like but, there are a lot of areas in the world itself that definatly show its age and some options that are just not in there that are more or less a standard option with mmos now. Its not as if those features aren't capable of being put in however, as I said before, the code is a mess and the custodian hasn't been able to add some of those in yet.
For Rift, I had a friend abandon ship for that today. We've both been burned by AoC, War and he was burned by Star Trek. I tried to warn him to give it a few months before trying it out but I guess he didn't want to wait. Its not that I want the game to fail, its just that past failures have given me bad taste for newly released mmos.

Beenb akc to DAOC for a few weeks now. I must say I am having a blast. Sure 3k people on a server playing at the same time doesn't seem liek much compared to wow, but I seem to see more poeple doing shit here then I foudn on wow ever and played since beta. This comparison is just saying that 3k people is aton if you think about it playing at once. Constant action in RVR, bg's ALWAYS popping, and they made it pretty damn easy to getto 50, albeit I have a few of them already. Anyone thinking of comiog back give it a try. The game itself is a cash cow, if they ever revamped or did daoc2 it would stomp all. Rift? meh, wow remake with a small twist, not interested. As far as wow, I played since beta, and I cannot handle anymore of the rinse and repeat shit. The game itself is soo overrated now it's not even funny.

The community played a huge factor. And the RvR (realm vs realm)/PvP was amazing for it's time! 3 realms seizing each-others keeps and trying to steal relics (+bonuses to your realm). Back in it's prime you'd see at least 1k chars at relic raids, pushing the server to it's limit.
I wonder to myself if they made a DAoC 2 what kind of turnout would they have, since Mythic has left a bad taste in peoples mouth with WAR.

Realm spirit, mainly, IMO. When the call went out on alliance chat to go clear Darkness Falls, retake forts, upgrade doors or go defend a relic raid, you could always count on a bunch of folks showing up and having a grand old time at it. Death was still meaningless (no xp loss, no items lost, etc.) but if you got killed and left dead, it at least took a while to get back to the fight. Made for some interesting rush/counter-rush strategeries.
Also, BGs didn't suck.
It's painful to see how crappy the UI feels after the addon/macro interface in WoW. If there's one thing I will always applaud Blizzard for it's the advanced UI. Here's hoping that becomes the bar for future MMOs.

Yup I called it quits 3 weeks after release of Wrath.
They nerfed my OP wrath class, degraded the detail of gear & weapons.
The Dungeons got crazy as well as the requirements for them, like forcing ppl to be somewhat geared for heroics
Unless you're a Healer or Tank the wait for dungeons is 30 mins, cuz I just wanna mash buttons and do subpar dps
Even the wait on the Battlegrounds is over 10min.
I now return to the most fun filled game I've ever played. No waiting. Plenty of action.
Dark Age of Camelot
No other game will give you; a population of under 3k ppl
3 realms (3 different sides) only 1 server
14 crafting professions (7 being sub-class)
18 different races (excluding the minotaur)
44 different classes (excluding the mauler)
Able to template your character to fit your needs.
True battlegrounds (not WoW & WaR Instances)
True endgame RvR with frontiers. (not WaR Tiers)
fixed.
Too lazy to post your own? You have to edit someone elses because you hate Dark Age of Camelot? You're the loser bud.
You're calling someone a loser yet you're the one going around spamming Rift boards with this slop all weekend.
Gotcha.

Iv'e been playing on the free trial.
It has something about it that no other MMo's iv'e played has.The music,the classes the bg's.Maybe it's just the world feels real.
It's to old to play full time now, but I hope someone brings out a 2nd version.

That troll posted the same crap on the Rift forums, of SW:TOR forums... must be very bored.
I suspect an alt account though.

No waiting is right because no one plays the pos Daoc anymore.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.
