Dark Age of Camelot

OK, first off, I am NOT flaming. I think the game is great; if it was more noob friendly I'd probably be playing right now. The only thing I want to say is the population seems to be hanging on, but I think many will move over to Warhammer when it releases. Please discuss.

I guess it all depends on how WAR turns out and if it satisfies what the DAoC players are after.

Mythic is releasing the Origins server later this year at the end of the summer I think so that should bring some of the old timers back.  I might be one of those as well as a few of my friends.  Only time will tell.

I personally know about 30 people returning to DAOC for Origins. They re all awaiting WAR(myself included) but have all stated we ll keep both going on WARs release. This server will bring alot back IMO.

agreed  the new server will be nice    expect the fact that they are taking away thurgest for Alb and keeping valks for MId    but ohh well can't wait to play old thid again

Yeah, I really don't get how mids get to keep valks but albs are losing the Theurgist. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I guess since mids have to have that 3rd "healing class" and albs have too many casters.

But back on topic. This game won't die out because of WAR. If anything, if they would offer a subscription to both for $20 a month or something like that, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

One thing i m not sure about though. I read on the VN boards there wont be any BG s on Origins. Anyne know if this is true? I can t find anything on it.

OP: Like everyone else has said, check out Origins when it launches.  Should be more noob friendly, since everyone will be starting from scratch and the rule set will be much less of a gear grind.  I'm comming back for Origins (bringing a few with me too) and I don't plan on playing WAR.  So, I'd assume there are others who will stick around for a while. 

Leucent:  No BGs.  They're talking about getting lower levels out into the frontiers (at level 20) to level and RvR.  Supposedly, there will be some protected zones in the frontiers where lower levels can't be attacked by reds or purps.  We'll see how it turns out.

Im fine with that totally. BG s to me take away from the end game RVR IMO. Toomany people playing those instead of the real game :)

Any where from July-September.  Hopefully, sooner rather than later
