Can daoc get a complete recode?
Ok so let me put this out there before i get started i know nothing about coding so im just speculating here.
What if they where to recode daoc to a modern coding stile lets face it coding in 2020 is much different then in 2000 i would assume. There are other games that have done that.
If im right the hard part with fixing stuff like pet pathing and crashes or other of the bugs there is, is the outdated coding. So if you were to do a recoding to an better code would that help in terms of future bug fixes and patches along with new content. If you were to update the coding then you would know the code better an make it easier to work with. A recode dose not mean remaking the entire game you would still have all the art,lore,mobs story and quest none of that would change.
The game may run better on a new code. Ya would would take some work to get done but not as long as makeing a new game from scratch.
Just an idea for the future. Mabe something you can ask the dev team what they think and if its even possible to do with the game being 20 years old.
If anyone else has any imput feel free to add it would love to know what the dev team and player base thinks on this.

They tried for a F2P model, instead it's a P2W model. F2P accounts are restricted in the items they can use and stats they can achieve (cap buffs, needing to be in a group to achieve them or buying the pot in the mithril shop). No access to veteran items that are game changing items (everybody has at least one of these).
At the same time we screwed over F2P accounts, we then turned and nerfed subs with the loyalty cloak xp nerf (since been buffed again), bp xp scroll level limitations, and overall xp nerf. But even with this XP nerf to sub accounts, they still outlevel F2P accounts easily making it hard to stay grouped together to show new players the ropes.
5 months later we still await adjustments.
But if you dont change anything, why should there be more population?
Fixing pet pathing and bugs is important, but i dont think it is reason enough to bring people back.

Also they might not have the funds or bandwidth to fix the stuff they want to. i am just happy the game is still going and is slowly improving
A complete recode is essentially another game and not something on the cards @Names

Instead of bitching on the forums, research and write up your issues, and they will work on it, or let you know it’s not a bug.

Said fixes come a year after they are reported. Bugs they cannot fix are considered "working as intended".
A moderate amount of complaining is always warranted when money is involved.

Is it worthwhile to do so? That is where the debate lies...
