DAOC: Origins - New Server

[Dr. Edge]

I plan on playing Midguard if I play, that was my favorite realm. Question is this game fun and rewarding even without doing pvp? I hate pvp.

It's a pvp game.

Doesn't pvp only start at high levels? I played years ago and remember attacking a castle keep thing but is there lots of dungeons and other non pvp stuff?

Yes mostly, but no a little.

The dungeons are sweet, not clone dungeons with cloned mobs renamed and higher level. DAoC isn't a "raiding" game in the way Everquest or WoW was. There aren't massively OP mobs you need 40 people to down, PRIMARILY at least. Darkness Falls has Legion, there are raid mobs don't get me wrong, but PvE raiding was an afterthought when you got higher level. The games focus is PvP and territory control, I can only stress to you that DAoC RvR is unique, and the way MMO PvP was meant to be. Go read ANY mmo's forums, you'll find people talking about DAoC being the best PvP, or how they miss it etc.. I assure you it's worth a shot. DAoC has click-skills like modern MMO's, but it's unlike most games where it's just a matter of who clicks all their buttons first. It's highly reactionary (skils only useable after evading, parrying, after opponent parries, evades, etc) and positional (only useable from the side, front, back etc). You have to be on your toes and sharp to fully maximize your class. Also, a lot of CA's are chained - Use skill 1, Skill 2 only useable if skill 1 landed, Skill 3 only useable if skill 2 landed.
