It is not too difficult to make DAoC great again, all it takes are a few good steps into the right direction. The big question is: will you find developers who are capable of transforming the game properly? People always forget that game design i…

Usually licenses like that are not sold like a commodity. There are probably initial prices to pay, but the main cost is usually a monthly or quarterly fee that has to be paid. So the big question is more or less: can your company generate enough in…

It is never hard to make changes to code, it just takes time. Rule of thumb for coding: the time it takes to change something is usually at least twice as much as you had expected. And that's the big issue: just fixing this sounds easy, and can be u…

ToA killed DaoC population for a very good reason, so if you repeat ToA, then you repeat the exodus. I've been saying that quiet a few times already, and it is nice to read that there is proof from alternative servers. The important point is to u…

And even SWTOR allowed you to play f2p right after your subscription ended. If the worst F2P implementation in history did it better, then you most certainly did it wrong @BS.
-
To my knowledge no other game has a restriction on returning f2p once your subscription ends, and that's for a very good reason: it motivates people to not subscribe at all, because if they do they are blocked from the game. Now some argue that a…

Frequent communication is very important to players. And if it is just you writing a short "Nothing new, we are still all on vacation" message, that's still better than silence. Silence leads to people making their own news in their head, and the…

/pvp challenge Amurdora Füćked Yes, I like that idea...

@Carol_Broadsword You know it was called "Friday Grab Bag" because it came every Friday? There was also a reason for that...

I've been there 3000 years ago, and I can tell you: most of the idea of Classic being better and more fun is just in your head. Classic was actually really bad compared to modern DAoC, it is just that people were different those days, and that made …

I think I repeated myself enough on this forums on how urgently Assassins need a rework. The whole class is breaking RvR at this point, because only two situations can happen: assassin can't get any kills at all, or assassin one-shots everything. Th…

To update all the quirks of this game to a modern standard basically everything needs to be rewritten from the ground up. So if they do it, we will have a DaoC 2, except that the 2 is unofficial.

I am pretty sure they are still working on the game, the question is mainly: are they working on the right things? EC was a nice try with some outstandingly bad decisions. That does not give me the feeling that BS knows how to design these things…

So if I get a 60s mezz and don't have purge, so all I can do in this situation is to wait till it is my time to die, it is not the issue of missing RAs?

If affects basically all PvE: an Animist can run his AE pet almost everywhere and farm stuff easily, Theurgs have to kill one-by-one and pets cost a lot of power. So if you want to do any form of PvE farming Animist is the far better choice. The …

It really depends on how you change the game. Sure if they attempt to turn it into another Fortnite then yeah: everyone will leave for good. The trick is to determine the essentials that players like about a game and fix what they don't like. I.E…

You can contact EA but your chances are slim. The "I can't access my email any longer but still know my character names" is a very common scam, so I am not sure if that helps at all. But if any you will definitely need personal support to get that f…

Animist is more tactical in PvP, Theurg is more straight forward, both can be very powerful depending on the situation. With the addition of the permanent pet for Animists, PvE is significantly easier now for Animists than it is for Theurgs. B…

The good news is that respec stones are pretty cheap nowadays, so you can try specs and change easily.

The opposite of "cry babies" that are not willing to invest time to be able to play PvP are people who win in PvP only thanks to their gear/level advantage and don't want that to be taken away from them. So there's always two sides to that medal. …

@Carol_Broadsword Some more frequent news would be a good thing. My guess is that there are currently a lot of people that are unhappy with EC watching the Herald for any announcements on what kind of changes to expect for EC (if any). If you wait t…

I like the idea to exclude stealthers, that would at least not cause a horde of one-shotters awaiting you at every keep. There should be an exception for the Minstrel though. I don't think excluding expansion classes is a good idea. RvR is balanc…

The answer is simple: BS has no experience in monetizing f2p games. And instead of looking at what others did and learn from them they just came up with random ideas and put those into the game. The result is a massive failure. From my perspectiv…
