Uthgard (DAOC)

I always wanted to try DAOC, but the idea that there is no world pvp is a little bit of a turn off. I've played games with specific battlegrounds/areas for pvp and it just isn't the same as being able to be ganked or gank anywhere like EQ.

Yeah, the server this thread is about.

So this DAOC is of the same quality as project 99 other than it being DAOC? Do they try to exactly emulate DAOC classic and do not custom anything?

I'm downloading the game now. I plan on playing a Troll Skald. I played a warrior back in the day and it was such a pain in the ass trying to catch people with no speed/ranged abilities.

Hmm, is there anyway to use the old character models? I liked the way my old troll looked.

Yep, in options under character models. DAOC's interface and perks are very EQ-eraish, it did come out within 2 years of EQ's release after all.

We've started PvP a few days ago and I've got 190 kills by lvl 29 already just to give you guys an example of whats what! I'll try to make some Fraps caps on the next run, I just forget it most of the time in the heat of the moment...

The roster changed a little bit and so we need more melee dps and maybe a second healer or shammy. So if you want to join our crew officially, make sure you're a Dwarf and willing to go all the way whether its convenient or not -- and we'll get you up in no time! We're the meanest Dwarf pvp group in Midgard!

Come make a Dwarf Savage or Zerk man, we need one bad and you'll have tons of fun with our group! We'll help you get up to pvp levels and with leveling gear etc.

I'll make a Dwarf berserker. What should I put my points in?

These days, the char creation spreads them by default into STR and CON (HP/STA equivalent), however, at the bottom if you hit "Adjust Stats" you can make them whatever you need it to be. I'd go with 15 STR and 10 CON, or 10 STR 10 CON 10 QUI.

It has the primary stats highlighted like EQ does but after 10 points in any one stat, each additional point takes 2! So 15 STR would take up 20 pts, but if you spread them equally into 3 different stats, you can get 10 of each. It's all about preference, personally I dont think 5 STR is that big a deal, some people might disagree.
