Origins seemed to be running really well last night, until it finally crapped out and the entire Midgard zone froze.

But 3.5 hours of stability, cleared TG, very very few lag spikes that entire time. Was quite impressive. I also heard they had fixed an issue with an IP address being fubar'd as well, causing some problems.

Also, Tanreall, when you get on I have a TG claw for you :P

Is there a quick way to make a few silver on Origins? Being level 5 with a level 1 sword, no armour and no left axe sucks :P

I pretty much don't have a clue about Mid, where's the lowest level dungeon where I can go beg for a group?

If you're between 5-10 or so, get a group and go kill Morvalts north of Aegir. They drop 1h swords, axes, and some studded. Along with jewelry. After that you'll have to hit up dungeons like Nisse's Lair (5-15), Cursed Tomb (15-25? Maybe lower than 25.), Vendo Caverns (15?Maybe higher-30), Varulvhamn (30+, Never actually been there, heard it's poo poo.), Spindelhalla (30+ Motherfucking loot city)

Use daoc portal. Their launcher is pretty poo poo at actually displaying the server status. You can see if it's actually up on daoc portal.

10 str, 10 con, 10 qui

Qui because it goes into swing speed and evade rate. Dex is only evade rate.

DAOC portal does the same drat thing, load to 90% and then service unavailable. this has been the same since day 1 for me. spill the beans and tell is how to get out accounts flagged as elite status :P

Just knowing when the server goes down and having a lot of play time to wait until it's back up.

That was me. I'll get it to you at some point. Otherwise your best bet is just buying something. Weapons can be a pain in the rear end to come by.

speaking of weapons, it looks like 2h hammer is the best to go for savage and skald because of attack speed / quad hits not being patched on origins?

/who for guilds is goofy. I believe it's case sensitive.

Don't all have to be there at once. Can just random and I'll see who wins when I get all 3 rolls. Kind of complicated, but I don't want to just give it to someone then have everyone hate me.

A few questions:

Can anyone confirm if there is armor/weapon decay on the server? Someone mentioned they hadn't noticed any...

Kind of related - I am getting ready to gear up my lvl 10 shadowblade - assuming there is decay, is it still ok to buy the highest level gear I can get off the vendor (lvl 23 i believe), or will it break before I outgrow it?

Decay works fine. High end weapons don't have the bonus durability on them, though. So first repair knocks you down to like 93% durability.

Above pretty much sums up the very best thing about the DAOC crafting system/economy.

The addition of indestructible artifacts and the whiners who thought item decay was a bad thing really messed it all up.

With item decay people also wouldn't be as obsessed to get the very best optimized spellcrafted template, and wearing 99% armor would be accepted.

Off course this does imply people would need to earn plat to regularly buy new equipment, which the hardcore RvR peepz totally dismissed.

Earning plat was never too much of a problem for even the hardcore RvR people. Back in the day I remember hearing about some of the 8mans just 8manning the dragon because they could to make some quick money.

It really wasn't too hard for a group of 8 to work together 1 night a month to make enough plat to offset any decaying gear.
