I kind of abruptly lost interest, I just can't get into 8man pvp as much anymore. Or like madpanda said the process of finding a group for it. There's still so many awesome things about the game, but it really needs a realm population balance mechanic. Also, gently caress Albion.

I had a lot of fun with Cult, our pvp and pve groups were good times. Thanks a lot for all the help waffle's, you two and the other officers provided a lot of help, answered so many questions and Wafflewifyn spellcrafted like 20 items for me!

My friend I used to play with started up over the weekend so if he sticks around I won't completely quit, just obviously I'm not around much now. Although it seems Stunna and others might be on break too. I have the GFM Ora gave me and I'd like to get it back to him sometime or maybe I can put it in a locked vault? As well as some other items. Hopefully I'll see some of you in the near future.

I was getting pretty burnt out on druiding and 8v8 pretty much just because of the pain in the rear end it is to find groups sometimes, so really enjoying the hunter where I've already made it to 4L5 just soloing/duoing/goofing around. But I probably won't be playing much come D3 time either

No.

Sorry to hear Mid wasn't as much fun. I always toyed with the idea of creating a Mid whenever I got frustrated with Hib, but I haven't brought myself to try it. Waffle and I are still playing Xenoblade for now. We're really curious how the Elder Scrolls MMO will stack up against DAoC, PvP-wise.

Opinionated, you earned the GFM, so keep it! :) We still talk to Ora and I guarantee he didn't give it to you as a loan.

The Elder Scrolls MMO is actually being headed by Matt Firor, who was a huge part of early DAoC's success so its something to keep an eye on. How much room they give him to try and set up a proper RvR system, ala DAoC, is really what will make or break it.

Ill just keep chugging along in here until then though since no other MMO companies seem to understand that 10v10 BGs and queues are annoying. Why didnt anyone tell me Warden was so much fun in Molvik? And I think I found an Alb class other than Friar that I might be able to stick with, Heretic. I still feel so dirty playing it though. :(

I am probably going to be taking an indefinite break (though I always come back). The girlfriend is on her summer break, so I don't have to entertain myself while she studies.

Stunna, if you see this, were you the one that gave me the Halloween hat and ml10 spear? And do you want it back?

Basically, there are no more relic temples. Each realm holds their relics in the closest two keeps to the border keeps (Ail and Scath for Hib, for example). Those keeps are no longer claimable, but you can still port to them if the towers are owned by your realm. For each of your realm's keeps that your realm owns, a number of high purple guards are spawned in both of those relic keeps. It's like the old frontiers and the keep named relic guards, except now they're called Elite Envoys. So, you have to take those keeps like normal to get the relics of another realm, and now you can't take relics through PoC. I also don't think you can boat any more. You *have* to run it back across Agramon.

It sounds like an interesting blend of OF relics with NF, but the population is probably still the biggest problem for DAoC right now.

This sounds about 5 years too late, but also really fun. Next time I'm up for some free time I'll try this out and make a report. Just can't afford to pay for DAoC anymore. Still, it's the only MMO I WOULD pay for.

Depending on what happens this weekend, we *might* be able to, otherwise it's not going to be for a couple of weeks. Silly work obligations. We'll let you guys know when we re-sub! At worst, we have to resub within the next 40ish days so we don't lose our bots' houses. :)

Holy crap, new patch notes up at http://darkageofcamelot.com/article/version-1113b-comes-pendragon

In a nutshell:
- Casted resistance buffs now last 30 minutes (even champ ones!), but they're limited to 4000 units from the caster, so stealthers can't rely on those as much.
- Resist debuff spells have had their values lowered about 5% so magic damage should go down slightly.
- Wardens get a new anti-pet RR5!
- Realm buff NPCs now have resistance buff tokens
- Lots of tweaks to Champs, Thanes, and Maulers

We did reactivate, but haven't been online much yet. I imagine it's still quiet in-game, though we should still be able to get a group going, especially if everyone else in the thread wakes up and comes back... :)

I've been playing GW2, and am still having fun...

However the taste of WvW made me remember the awesome time I used to have in RvR so many years ago. I was hoping I could experience it again but I have no idea what my login info used to be (I quit when WoW launched, and I don't think they used email account names).

Any chance I can get my account back if all I know are the different names/levels and realm ranks of the characters of that account spread over 3 servers? Don't feel like starting a fresh account.

Awesome! I've been logging in most nights lately just in case people log in, so if you're on Hib, do /who waffle or /who grrsnatch to see if I have a character logged in.

Probably, though you're going to (unfortunately) need to talk to EA support for it. I think your best bet is to call and explain the situation. Even though email addresses weren't used for the account names back then, the account should still have an email address of yours associated with it, so it would help to have some idea of what it might be when you talk to them. Good luck! It will probably be a bit of a hassle, but worth it to get the account back.

If anyone wants to try to organize some night to log on and play (RvR, PvE, whatever) just let me know!

So I contacted daoc support telling them :

-I have no idea what my account name used to be.
-I only remember char name/server of 2 of my characters.
-The credit card information I have no idea of since a friend was paying for me back then before I had a CC.
-I haven't played in about 7 years.

Only accurate information I was able to provide was my birth date and my telephone number at that time (which since then has changed twice due to new jobs). And my country/city.

I thought I had virtually no chance of recovery when I got this mail :

"Now that we have verified your account, we ask that you designate a current email so that you may successfully complete the password recovery process. (The account in question either has no email or an outdated email on file.)

Please respond at your earliest convenience and advise us which email you would like applied to the account. Once you have done so, we will update the accounts, allowing you to recover them through the Account Management site."

It only took me about an hour from my first email to get to this point. Who said their customer support was crap?

Ok, first wait and see... but at the moment I'm installing again :)
