I lumped them together because I remember feeling the same way in DAoC as I did in WoW. The majority of the player base would just as soon laugh and tea-bag your corpse as rez you. Or at least want a bunch of money for a 5 second cast and a few ticks of mana that regens in 15 seconds.
They wouldn't run to help you even a whit. A 'Your death is not my problem' mentality.
I don't feel that way in EQ nearly as much.
I have no idea what you're referring to in regards to the DAoC grind, but then I did play a BoneDancer. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Did it change drastically? Either way, I'd never consider the lvl grind hardcore, especially PvE up through ToA. I didn't plat beyond that. How hard can it be? once you have one lvl 50, you got to start every new alt at 20. |
Yeah dude, I quit before Bone Dancers were even part of the game. Pre-ToA grind was fucking hellish, and the community was the best of any MMO I've ever played. There was a lot of "us vs. them" realm camaraderie. You actually felt like part of a team, and many had a "helping a stranger is helping the realm" mentality. I'm not sure how the game changed post-ToA as I quit during SI.
DAOC leveling is like EQ with no hell levels, until 40. 40-50 is one giant fucking hell level.
