Default Custom DAOC server launching tomorrow

They have a bunch of custom stuff that looks interesting, although i dont know alot about DAOC. Hand crafted quests, realm balancing with bots, level cap per time period to prevent neckbeards from dominating the game, all tweaks we talked about here for an EQ pvp server. Ill be playing midgard like a couple of other players from red99.

Like i said dont know much about DAOC, might be reconsidering which faction ill play lol

"How is realm balance at Eden's patch level? Midgard seems heavily underpopulated at the moment. Are they just not as good as the other 2 realms?"

midgard support classes are insanely fucking intense to play and the healer gets screamed at every single fight, so only competitive 8v8ers can tolerate it. Mid can run some insane configurations but they don't do well with random bullshit pickup group type lineups

we ran for months on alb celestius, had a really amazing month on hib, then tried mid and literally quit after four days because there's no cohesion and everybody there just wants to run their little gank group

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

A big issue on most of the DAOC emu servers was the two stronger realms teaming up and destroying the weaker realm. lol

Man, I might try it out.

Do you know if they have any custom class changes?

Might have to roll a Reaver. Mine was solid on Phoenix.

Each realm is solid.

Midgard is typically known as the "melee realm" and Healers can be tough to play since they both main heal and main CC, but usually people spec one way or the other.

Just like EQ, melee classes aren't quite as successful solo or in general when compared to caster classes, so that's probably one reason they can be the weaker realm. But when you have people who know what they're doing, Midgard is almost OP and they're incredibly dominant.

Same thing kind of with Hibernia, but swap melee with casters.

And Albion is solid all-around, but their cookie-cutter 8 man groups are very specific and caster heavy, so it's sometimes a headache to play there. I swear every group has like 4 Cabalists in them...

I tend to choose a realm based on class though. Albion has the best wizard and assassin, Hibernia has the best archer and PBAOE'er, Midgard has the best Melee class options

Yeah, it looks like a solid server.

Seems they've been paying attention to the issues that have sprung up on other servers and they're trying to address those.

It'll be interesting how they tackle gear templating issue.

I think Celestius had those ROG items that basically rendered crafting moot, but also simplified templating.
