DAOC: Origins - New Server

Jackie Treehorn_sl said:

So, I only played DAOC like a handful of hours before quitting in 2003 or 2004.

Heretic vs. Cleric at this patch of the game, what's the opinion? No idea if I'll actually stick with it this time either, but I'll check it out. I like going around healing / buffing people / being useful in RvR. Heretic is easier to level solo from what I gather. I would have to assume heretic is more DPS with less healing, or something.

Heretic isn't around in SI:

If you are going to play Alb on this server I don't care what class you roll, all will be invited to my groups. I really hope everyone else agrees so we can focus on fun and community.

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

Ban as they go I guess.

Put an invisible player on the screen and watch Mid Ubergroup head right for it. Ban. Rinse. Repeat.

Hatorade, sounds like a plan. I just hope we can get a good small group to play for a few months.

Any way of finding out population?

I'll roll a Cleric/Sorc/Anything really depending on what the group would prefer.

We have no idea how many people will play, or last. Clerics, Mercs, and Minstrels all stack nicely.

Delicate, if you are going to play with us, would you mind updating the first post of this thread with people, playtimes, preferred classes, and interest level. If not we can make a new thread.

Gecko - Albion Sorcerer.
Playtime is 7 PM to 11 PM EST Mon-Thur, Noon to 8 PM Sat and Sunday.

You can type /server in game to get a complete count of total population. Then from your realm just type /who and that will give you total count of your realm.

Hatorade - Albion Merc
8PM central to late most days.

The launcher they use also shows the population(not sure if accurate)

I really want to play a friar, but I might try an armsman since I think they'll be pretty good in this patch environment?

Not sure on the name but I'll probably go with Whitemage or something - Albion Cleric
7-10 PM central and shoddy hours on/off during the day.

I'm torn between Scout, Theurgist, and Friar. Yes, I understand none of those are "desired" classes but I've never been one to go down the road less traveled. I played a Minstrel for a year and a half after release but these were three I was always interested in as an alternative.

Will be Moontayle and likely evenings, though the actual hours will vary.

Might give this a try.Will need to read up on classes, I was only midgard on release when I played.

BTW some classes autotrain weapon skills that are low, so sometimes people will do an unwanted weapon type to 20, keep it or spec to a second unwanted type to 40, then spec to their final at 40. Or wait till 50 and use a respec stone. I think it gets you a few extra skill points to spend.

I never had to mess with any of that so I may be completely wrong.

Also I think mercenaries with stabby weapons were good because of a dragonfang style. And stabby was good vs chain?

Does anyone know if they're using the current DAoC interface or if they actually found a way to force the interface from way back then? There's a lot of stuff enabled by the new interface that you couldn't do with the old. Swapping from S/S to 2H with one button press is the most important one I can think of.

I'm assuming its the new one since I could swap from sword and board to 2hander with the N and B keys but never played Daoc before so somebody else may know for sure.
