They haven't posted any ETAs yet unfortunately, I just hope it'll be sooner than P99 Velious release. This game is not so much fun to play solo, PvP side of it can be fun but PvE will get boring real quick like if you try to climb that hill on your own.

That's why I wish they would allow boxing for pve. RvR, no way, of course, but the pve is kind of game breaking. The /level 20 deal live showed that and that's when there were steady streams of new players when it was a relatively new game.
Every realm is made up of classes that are broken into several categories ..The couple that solo well, the couple that solo okay, the ones that can barely solo, and the ones that can't solo at all. Often classes that are vital for RvR fall into this latter category.
DAoC has a robust PLing mechanic....Any lower level(s) can group with any higher level(s) and as long as the higher levels are killing content their level the exp will bias towards the low levels. The opposite of EQ. It was designed that way intentionally to help friends catch up or PL by boxing so you could get friends and necessary classes into the realm war while also creating a challenge for the PLers. Easy enough to do, but a challenge because of BAF and not just handing it out on a plate. The classic example is levelling up a necro first then PLing a cleric or infiltrator for RvR. Or boxing a Hero with aBoard so you can play the bard in RvR.
I don't care what fixes and revamps they do. The PvE in DAoC is crazy boring as it is, much less trying to eek it out bleeding out of the eyeballs for 50 levels if you can't find groups. If they don't allow boxing in PvE so people who miss the levelling wave at launch have the option to PL pops will drop again and RvR at the top end and in the BGs will ultimately suffer.
