DAOC: Origins - New Server

[mrgoochio]

how close to classic is it? did they release origins with classic or with some expansions enabled? Sorry of this has been covered, hard to read through 50+ pages of txt

[Dr. Edge]

I believe patch 1.62 shrouded isles is in game

[mrgoochio]

Where is everyone playing? I haven't played DAoC since live release. I played on uthgaard for like 2 days before stopping. I don't know what to rolllllllll

[mrgoochio]

cant create accnt 404 -- game server offline :T

This is what I got from reading about it the past few weeks. (not trolling the game i love daoc, just so people dont have to read 50 pages)

1. The first few weeks were zerg fest, people got multiple 50's from aoe/xp groups(not intended)
2. End game dungeons bosses were very weak that smaller groups were basically destroying them and benefiting from loot(not intended)
3. Some quests and items are all in french
4. The server resets everyday, sometimes people lost items/plat luckily they were returnned due to roll backs
5. Peak hours have a lot of lag due to the server cap at max and people basically trying to login
6. A lot of people stay perma logged in throughout the day making it even harder to login
7. Sometimes they lock out account creation, so it can be very troublesome to even make an an account to play

Regarding uthgard - People saying origins sucks and that utgard was like p99 of daoc, but ive read kinda the opposite. Utgard had the same amount of problems or more than origins, thats why the population was so low. They are planning on a revamp and relaunch and honestly it could be superior to origins if the server is stable and can handle more people.

not trolling this is purely what I got from reading the forum. the game is extremely popular and i can see why, daoc was very fun. I played on Morgan Le Fay back in like 2004 or so in a guild called lords of the dead.

1. Should read first 2.5 days were zergfest.

Also keep doors are very week and hib was able to snatch up all mids relics while mids zone was frozen with no npcs, but we got most back now

I've played on Morgan Le Fay also, in 2001-2002 and 2004-2005, Mid side.

That's not entirely true about how Uthgard is only able to handle half the population of 'Genesis', up until very recently it had a near-constant population of 800-1100 on a daily basis.

Uthgard also did not have the "same amount of problems or more than" Genesis, I dont know where you got that info from but the source is either misinformed or just never really played the server to begin with. I'm not saying Uthgard was a perfect server, but it was way better than Genesis, there's just no comparison - not in terms of gameplay quality in PvE, and especially not in terms of gameplay quality in PvP (RvR)!

Some people have this misconception about classic servers, that just because they started playing a server 2+ years after it came up (like in the case of P99 for example), that it's always been as good as it was up to that point in time.

There's no such thing as a perfect MMO emulation server, or an MMO game for that matter, otherwise there wouldn't be so many patches, tweaks and changes of all kinds inbetween.

[Dr. Edge]

yeah Uthgard should be cool

[Dr. Edge]

yeah, I'll be moving to Uthgard.

I guess the other day some dude saved the day by using his 3rd party software speed hack to bring the relic to his realm before the server rebooted.

Lots of people saw him do it so he turned himself in for cheating.
This was the result:

Hacking= praised as noble and saluted by GM



lol
how can I take this server seriously after stuff like this.
I was mad my guild leader got permabanned for typing the N word but this makes me 1000x more upset

[Tradesonred]

Yeah rushed sounds about right, was a big mistake not to wipe after the crazy zergs, was only 2 days old, what did u really lose? ive had time to get in 3 50s and i barely knew the game.

Now what this does is half the population is already on top makin it harder for people climbing up to get groups to level. Youre missing that fun part when a server launch of the first weeks of loads of people rolling characters. Its still there but not as awesome as it could have been.

And its not crippling since u can still get a level 50 probably in 2 weeks easy playing semi-casually, still was wrong decision to make imo

And they are done with server resets apparently, now its supposed to be 2 hour downtime per week.
