Expect that a guild group will run for at least an hour. Im around the same time. 7pm est weekdays and most of the weekend. Aug Healer

Set aside Genesis for the moment and have been enjoying playing some Ywain Hib. Any Culties running around there still? I actually found an old level 20 toon (worked to get it there, no /level in those days!) on the archive server wearing Cult colors. First guild of my first MMO!

Started a Runemaster on Genesis, but drat it seems like Mid is dominating. Do you guys expect it to level off? I hate playing for the dominating faction.

Hibernia was the overpopulated faction until Midgard capped all the relics in one night -- I think about 1/5th of Hibernia rerolled Mid after that. At some point Midgard will fill up with bads riding the bandwagon and the process will repeat. On the other hand, no one plays Alb and I seriously doubt anyone but the most dedicated 8v8 premades ever will. They're apparently extremely hostile to "solo" (didn't come with a guild) players too, so it's kind of hosed.

I'm pretty sure Hib is still the most popular faction on the server. People who rerolled mid will just quit entirely at some point. Everyone hates alb in this patch, even people playing alb currently. I just don't get the hate. With that said Hib has some of the easiest classes to play and it's almost always the zerg faction on freeservers, I don't see that changing.

I recently joined <Roleplayers> for some EU time RvR. Been wrecking poo poo. Pulling 100k rp days. Hib is still strong, a couple of solid guild groups running. Alb is garbage at the moment. I'm down for RvR whenever during US time if I'm on.

For those starting in Midgard you can /who "Emain Golf" to see who all is online in the goon guild, and I think any goon can recruit. Lots of pubbies are getting banned and the popularity will decrease due to stability issues - which will make the server more stable.

Finally managed to get online some hours, with a decent exp party clearing out DF until mobs stopped respawning. Went from 18 to 29 in a couple of hours. Do not solo on this server. Also many thanks Hawkeye for that chain gear. Still being butt nekkid at level 29 was kind of annoying (not that it matters much for a healer)

In my opinion DF is a huge waste of time seal gear is trash, XP is bad and you can make way more gold in a good malm group. +15 go to frontiers you will be making possibly twice the xp.

Sorry I haven't been on much lately. I try to log in and usually spend 15-20 mins trying to get past the loading screen, and then give up. And evenings is when I'm usually doing other things, so my play time has been reduced to weekend days. I'll try to log in when I can, I still want to play, but maybe taking a short break while they work some of these kinks out might be a good idea anyways.

After server reboot I managed to get a full melee group together and headed to frontier. Lvl 36 now. Soon I will have to decide. Pac or aug. If Uthgard relaunches I really hope they include the group bonus. It really improves the community and people are even glad to invite stealth.

Made the switch to Alb. I always liked their classes more and I like being the underdog. From what I understand this server will be dead once Uthgard relaunches anyway, so I'll prob hook up with you goons then.

Right now if something goes wrong when the mods are asleep, the server is completely unplayable.

Made it to level 46.5 Yesterday. Was super excited to hop on today and do a few quests to get lvl 50, only to find out the damned "Melting the Ice" quest is bugged. Now I need to get another half level of xp or so and between the difficulty actually getting a group, and the constant crashes/mob bugs its just not happening this weekend. So sad and frustrating :/ For now I will agree with the Uthgard sentiment above. If these guys cant get a couple people in US prime time the ability to reset things I just don't see this working out long term.

Uthgard will be 10x worse than Origin. Not only are they going to be using the same code to start with they legitimately give NO FUCKS AT ALL about the players. Some nice changes will be remaining on Origins (like the housing system we have now, decent alchemy, etc) which will be removed on Uthgard, either at start, or shortly after. It happened before and it will happen again. Strictly classic is a dumb mentality to have. I think we can all agree there were some things that are best fixed. If you're having troubles with Melting the Ice, I'm sorry, I had them myself - but it's ABSOLUTELY worth waiting for. Server freezes during euro primetime lead to missing spawns, but I think there's a daily reboot beforehand, if you can get on early someday, you'll be 50 shortly after. Alternatively, they've been rebooting in the evenings too, some days, due to bugs. Edit: also, when doing melting the ice- DON'T GROUP. You need exactly 10 kills (step 11) or it messes up, and being in group sometimes leads to extra credit. You can just hit the elementals OUT of group and get 1 full credit. Give it time - it will be improved. Uthgard will have the same problems. Tom Powers fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Feb 17, 2014 |

Tom Powers posted:Uthgard will be 10x worse than Origin. The gently caress you talking about? Uthgard will not be using the "same code to start with". They'll be using the same stable code base they've been using for 10 years. Housing is implemented. Useful alchemy? Yeah, I guess. Same poo poo, just less charges. Who knows if they'll revert that back to what it should be.

kainashi posted:Uthgard will be using the code they've been customizing and everything for years now so it'll run far better than Origins. There's a reason everybody jumped ship as soon as some competition was even mentioned, and similarly, why they haven't been able to fix basic game mechanics for years. I'm more inclined to believe the few months they've gone down, they're simply changing the default DoL DB (which origins is using) to make it more patch-appropriate. I.e. nerfing things out of the gate rather than after when players discover them broken. kainashi posted:Housing isn't going anywhere, they even mentioned it in the latest update for their revamp. Alchemy is staying the same as it was before I imagine. MAYBE 10 charge potions but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm pretty sure potions aren't going to be improved in any fashion, even though I really don't think they impact RVR all that much. Barrels maybe. But the pre-1.100 potions are just bad. Edit: Not sure if it's 1.110 or when, exactly.. 3 charge, 2 min duration potions, which is what they were before the shutdown. Tom Powers fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Feb 17, 2014 |

If they manage to keep Genesis up and running, and stable, while increasing the population cap I won't be going anywhere. The state of the game as it is now, with the increased grouping bonus is close to the best memories I had from DAoC. I do wonder if the population cap (currently 1100) divides the 3 realms equally, or a 600-300-200 imbalance is possible. What kind of "machine" of a Server do I need to imagine they are running? Is this something that is easily build for a moderate amount of money? Or do they need special server architecture and a special agreement with their ISP?

I have imposed a 5% guild tax. This is to support a guild house, and that kind of stuff. I don't think it's that much really, especially since most people make the majority of their money from selling to merchants. If anyone has a really serious problem with this, please get in touch with me. Thanks ya'll!

I was looking for an out of date (uthgard/genesis) crafting guide. I want to pick up armorcrafting but frankly I have no idea where to start. Even 10y ago I never bothered with crafting, as I had some friends who were really into it and I just dumped all my salvage on them and they always supplied me with whatever equipment I needed. Do we have a Guild Emblem btw? I am currently trying to find a cloak (no luck on vendors, and none have dropped for me yet) And what are our mandatory guild colors?

Just as an FYI, from memory here's roughly how much some of the different crafts cost to get to LGM. WC/AC - 20-25p Tailoring - 8-10p Spellcrafting/Alch - 25-30p Fletching - 15-20? Point being, I'd think twice about it. Its a long, DULL grind unless you macro it, and it takes a lot of money to get started.
