I have a lot of good MMO memories but some early ones in UO would be the summer guild wars first came out. UO changed a lot with rep patch and the Dread Lord days will always hold a soft spot in my gaming heart, but guild wars brought us battles on a much larger scale and they brought the...

Without UO this forum would not exist, so pay homage ye scrubs.

If you are looking to start up in DAoC again it is about to get a lot of love from Broadsword.. I fired up my account on the weekend and there was over 2000 playing with all the old things we loved to do, 100+ person zerg from each realm taking keeps, a lot of 8 mans running around, solo/small...

What are they going to do about the rampant use of radar?

Definitely one of the most fun templates I ever played. It was something similar too.. 100 Tact 100 Swords 90 Anat 70 heal 100 hide 80 stealth 70 snoop 90 stealing Just enough healing to cure poison, enough hide/stealth to get away from a fight if needed, and the necessary melee...

UO was such a fun game because it was new yes, but also because it was such a sandbox. It was an experiment, I remember them thinking all they needed to do was host around 5000 people... ha. They had no idea the game would blow up the way it did and they had no idea that player killing would...

Haven't spent a lot of time looking at this game yet but I have always enjoyed the FF job system. I like this quote: That won me over, will have to give this game a shot now. Anything but BG's or Arena is fun PvP.. open scale, you just can't beat it. I also agree about the Bard changes, I...

I was going to say, lifting like that is all well and good when your body is forgiving at age 17, but if she keeps that up she won't be lifting very long. Good on her, but proper form > # of reps!

Replied in quote.

Garriot is over on Reddit doing a little Q & A, some that I found interesting: What a piece of crap, essentially saying go pay more money and you might get to see it! While I sit virgin style on my 100's of millions looking like I have the social skills of an albino sociopath! Thread here...

I meant, without UO there was no CoTD which would mean no FoH, which would mean no fohguild.org which would mean no rerolled.org... ?

Without UO Would this forum exist? The good ole days... http://forums.sinnersamongsaints.com...3_11_81483.jpg

Back on topic gents.. take it to the ladies powder room. New ask us anything posted yesterday, talking about combat: http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/new...nything-combat And many more in the link..

If this takes me back to that feeling of playing the old Ultima's then it will be a fun game. A chance to play it multiplayer with your buddies as well could be fun. I don't get the anger, you don't have to contribute to the Kickstarter.. just wait it out and see what release looks like. I...

Bard was probably my favourite class to play... pure support/interrupts, it was great. Minstrels and Skalds were also a lot of fun, and were crucial to any group that wanted to be able to travel at speed 6/have SOS to get away. I actually liked the Bard in RIFT as well. I think these buff...

This game is very easy to make a character.. you can GM some skills in hours or less. I made a melee toon and raised his melee skills including parry to the 70s in the noob dungeon in about 20 minutes, hopped a gate to Shame and under the cover of my Young tag (meaning you can't be attacked)...

Well I suggest you do some google searching as I will not do it for you, but MJ has talked extensively in interviews about what he has learned from mistakes made with both DAoC and WAR. One of the things he likes the most about Kickstarter is that he has no share holders to please besides the...

Next FP is up, talking about race and classes. Seems they plan to go the same route as DAoC, different races/classes for all three realms. He does warn that there will be significantly less class/race combos at release compared to DAoC as their studio/budget will not be as big. This is fair...

So I finally caved yesterday and made a character.. I started macroing up a Bard in town doing the old music/peace on yourself trick. Then I made a dexer to run around on for fun and couldn't believe how fast I leveled. I started in the newbie dungeon with the gear they provide you, worked my...

Haha, so good to see guild colors again.

Yea, reward for PvP is nothing new. Like has already been said, in the UO days you would go out and PK people for the fun of it, but also for their gear. Not one PK on this board can tell me that they left every single victim's loot on their corpse. The odd time you would, if it was a newb...

That Sept 2015 release is gross.. I understand it takes a long time to make games, but that is going to seem even longer me thinks. New FP is up: http://citystateentertainment.com/20...rs-still-suck/ I don't like the upcoming one.. Really? Comon.. we need some kind of long term gain to...

Yea and see that is what I mean, the choices were what made it so much fun. You can go with Scribe for the extra damage and you still get the defensive wrestle from EI+Anat/2 = wrestling. Or if you don't like that, drop it out for wrestle to pick up the stun punch. Or drop the heal and have...

I loved the pre cast days as well, but I still stand by what I said that I feel this time period was a much more challenging dueling era. In pre cast all you had to worry about for variation was whether your opponent used a qstaff, halbred or the odd spear. In this era there were a crap load...

Any cliffs notes? Or just rehashing a lot of what we have already heard?

I think he tipped his hand a bit here with this 'multi platform subscription'. Cash shop? Really? Even if, I saw that, but really a cash shop? I have no problem with cash shops that get you a pretty mount that isn't any faster than the next guy, or a cool color dye. But there is definitely a...

If I recall, this era was a lot of fun for dueling, and I actually found it a lot more challenging that simply timing a EXP+FS+Hally combo. EA or Mythic or whomever, gave their official word I think a year or so back that they had heavily considered making a classic shard, but had decided not...

A lot of good posts here, I really enjoyed catching up on the thread. I think we have come full circle, back to the DAOC realm rank comparison. If MJ can implement a system like this, an end game soft cap leveling system, it would apparently make a lot of people happy. A system where a RR1...

You just defined the realm ability system. Ignoring the level to 50, a player would start at realm rank 1. As you killed players (and at a later date took keeps/healed/resed/killed realm guards) you gained realm points that pushed you up the realm rank ladder. As you gained new realm ranks...

The thing people hated about ToA was that it added a lot of PvE content to a game that had gotten by on a fairly relaxed leveling system combined with optional dragon/high end world boss raids. There were great items to be had off the dragon, but it wouldn't make or break your template.. you...

New blog up on theCamelotUnchainedpage, pasted in the spoiler. http://citystateentertainment.com/20...the-only-game/

It is true that DAOC had some leveling loop holes, but one thing that DAOC did great was encourage group leveling. The max group size was 8, and forming a leveling group was actually quite an advantage. You had consistent pulls with little to no down time, and also safety in numbers from...

We had this about 15 years ago, and it was awesome. SAS and FoH formed an alliance that forced the entire server of Sonoma to ally against us, and they still couldn't beat us. We used to have guilds come from other servers to try and challenge us. One of the things you need to drive this sort...

Great summary and I agree with all of those points. The Realm Abilities were great because they could also be beneficial for PvE. Some of the best tanks in the game for PVE were also hard core RvRers that got to a high RR so their PvE group could tank more content. There was the right...

Not trying to start a war here but I disagree with a lot of your points.. response in bold. I guess it all depends on your play style and experience.. I played DAoC from phase 2 beta up until a few years ago. I had a lot of fun and saw a lot of expansions that people said ruined the game.. but...

I can vouch for the premature release.. we begged him on the beta forums not to release yet, the TL's hadn't even signed off on their classes yet and had threads full of bugs. Mark has a bad habit of not listening to people, something he claims to have rectified this time around. Kind of like...

I think that once John comes back as the R'hllor he will lead his army down from the north and re take Winterfell. After that, Lord Reed comes out and tells the truth about John's heritage, someone important is his actual father, he was Ned's nephew all along, not his bastard son. With this...

I've seen them in concert 5 or 6 times now, I remember the first show I went to was in 98 and I had to sneak into the pub as I wasn't of age yet. Always put on a good show and always happy to see a good young Canadian band make it big(ish).
