I remember having an Agent, and it was cool being in groups shooting lasers at dudes.

The game was really only fun at 50 when you had your giant rapefest battles. That was Pre-WoW though, when the concept was taken even further. Yes, I know that every time someone mentions WoW, Rogean kills a kitten.

I have a 50 warrior on uthgard but that server was just "weird". Barely any US timezone players there either, mostly 85%ish Euro.

Not to mention uthgard server was laggy as fuck, pvp was pretty weaksauce and the playerbase was terribad.

I can safely say that server single handedly killed any nostalgia I ever had for DAOC... You have been warned [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

LOL I am not above derailing threads about bad games to avoid doing the work I am supposed to be doing instead of trolling these forums.

3gb download on dsl is like pounding nails with your hands.

I had an error when installing that said I didn't have permissions so I (after some trials) installed in c:/ instead. Wth. I'm administrator. I even tried safemode and it still said the same thing. I'm using windows xp sp3 and there must be some kind of bug or something because I know I have administrator permissions. I even did the "Run as..." trick without any luck. I've never had this problem before. I'm stumped.

I've never tried DAOC. I was always on my self for not trying. So... this is your chance, tell me how awesome DAOC is! But I doubt i'll get around to trying it though. Download is forever and meh. I was thinking about trying live, but they recently had a bigtime billing goof. I don't want to do that if i'm going to get overcharged, you know what I mean? And DAOC looks dead to me. It's a miracle that the live server(s) are still up. Why did DAOC die so fast? Just a year or two ago there were people playing.

Another thing, I'm not a pvper. I've tried them, but I always end up doing pve and not being satisfied with its quality. Pvp games focus on pvp. The only value I get from it's the thrill of not getting killed by griefers. I tried Shadowbane, for example, in 2003, but the pve sucked compared to everquest.

So tell me, how good is the PvE in DAOC? Are there quests, dungeons, etc? I love that sh**. I've read a bit in forums and on websites, and of that I've seen, DAOC looks very mediocre to me. Hardly worth a look.
