Created a toon on Uthgard to break up the monotony when I couldn't find a group in Project 1999 EQ, does anyone from the thread still play on Uthgard? I'm in as Awwyiss a level 7 ranger.

I still play, and Kazvall, as well. Not sure about anyone else. Neither of us play Hib that I'm aware of.
Stealthers are pretty rough to get a start with on this server.

Yeah, not going with a raid character first might be rough. On the other hand, Rangers get self buffs and are pretty awesome.

Angry also plays in my guild.

Yeah I'm usually around soloing. If you need a start when I'm on I can supply potions and some buffs since I'm mostly alt tabbed anyway.

edit: in Alb, ofc

I still log in from time to time, but not enough to be considered actually "playing".
It's a bit too hard to break in to level 50 RvR (outside of zerg events, or rarely a relic raid).
The vast majority of the RvRing population are rr7+, with most sitting between rr10-12. Thidranki can be tons of fun here, though. (It's level 45-49, instead of the old 20-24.)
Population also takes a huge dip in NA prime time. Plenty of people PvEing during that time, but jack in RvR.

edit: Just took a gander at the news. Thidranki is no more. Highest battleground will be level 42, with a RR cap of 3L0, instead of 4L2 for old Thidranki.
I'm now firmly in the boat that the developers of this server really don't understand what it's problems are.

Well, this era of daoc is definitely a grind fest, no matter how the end game is. But don't let me dissuade you, the low level bgs are extremely fun, and if you play during euro prime and na/eu overlap times their can definitely be good action. Especially if you're doing it for nostalgia purposes.

I still play from time to time. RvR in Albion is kind of a joke. If you plan to roll Alb it's all about the stealth/small man. Don't roll a Minstrel if you want to 8man. Just don't do it. Goons are welcome to hit me up on Steam as Kazvall if you need help, or a guild. You probably won't find me in game at random.

Yeah, all the albs I ever ran in to on my zerk were high rr pugs, talking all rr10+, or guild groups. I swear alb has probably 45 rr11 clerics that rvr regularly.

How is the action in the frontier these days now that the kids are back in school?

Do we have any goon groups that run or a central mumble for us to meet in until unchained comes out?

I haven't played this game in quite some time but I think I have everything at 50 in Albion and maybe some lower level stuff in mid guard and Hibernia.

Loved this game back in my college days.

What's wrong with minstrels for 8v8? I seem to remember that there are almost too many at this point but if your competent you should have no issue. I would also suggest making sure to have both an 8v8 as well as a stealth suit so it opens up your options a bit more. With the changes to epic armor you should be able to set something up fairly easily.

I goofed around on it a bit, and I know a lot of people from Myth (uthgard guild if you dont remember) are rolling there, last I heard. A lot of poo poo was full on broken. They must of been working pretty hard to get so much fixed in 2 months. I submitted about 200 item bugs just from playing a few days. Mostly a lot of duplicate issues on different tiers of loot: Hats being pants, for example.

I'm not so sure it's in a good place with the re-focus of Eden. It went from standard rvr insta 50 clusterfuck, to level fast and old frontiers. It's been seeing a pretty sizeable population. And as of this very moment it's surpassed Uthgard. I've never seen Origins crest 50 players. I'll definitely give it a spin, though. I'm down for any realm. There is going to be a billion bonedancers.

Despite my negativity, I sure as hell hope it succeeds, an even playing field on a classic/si shard will be so loving nice. gently caress rr11s forever.

I saw about 110 players on Origins for the closing of open beta. I'm not so interested in Eden. It's Darkness Falls for PvE(I believe non-pvp, you can cross-realm group) and only Emain/1-2 Battlegrounds for Pvp. Origins is a full classic server with SI. I have high hopes it turns out alright. Starting fresh on a new server could be a lot of fun. Especially since it's OF/Old RA's/1.62 patch, including necromancers and real bonedancers. I plan to play a Shadowblade and a Shaman.

Are they allowing dual-logging there? I'd kind of like to play Hib, to be honest. Mid is good too. Old RA's I'd probably play a heavy tank. 75% on det5 is awesome.

And yeah, I'm not interested in Eden, either. It's a cobbled together mess, still.

Make a forums account on origins, go to "board index", create account button. Configure daoc portal to point to your client directory.
