I Agree with Q, WAR is the way to go. They plan to release Origins around the same time WAR will be released. I personally will be playing WAR.

The most enjoyable part of the old frontiers was the SUPER LONG walks to the noob areas, as a ranger, killing people. Sure it took a LONG ASS time to get there, but man... that shit was fun once you did. I highly doubt that same amount of fun will return when Origins is released. I hated running to emain solo to get my ass handed to me by 8man elitest. There were definitely time where we had some KILLER SC groups out there. We weren't the most kick ass groups but we knew how to have fun.

Pretty much what it come down to is this... to little too late!


Well, I may have a change of heart. I'll decide when it's released but IF I return it wont be for Hibernia.

I love playing WAR but there is so much about DAOC that is lacking in WAR. One great example is the diversity with the three realm concept. Another is that RvR in WAR has no meaning... ZERO. Relics in DAOC make for something that is worth fighting over, not PVE'n a keep and moving on to the next when destro shows up.

So yeah, that's my two cents. Skald or Therg here I come :P


Not saying your wrong, but a little early to say the keeps are meaningless when most of us haven't even hit the caps yet.  Until everyone is fighting for the same thing, its going to appear unbalanced.

It's the push to lock down the T4 zones and move towards the Inevitable City or Altdorf.

It's really the relics and the three way competition that daoc still has going for it.

In WAR even if one faction goes all the way through and defeats the King of the other faction, what is the result?  A few hours later everything resets, the city is reduced to level 1 and a bunch of pretty damn good loot is handed out to the victors.  Personally I think the time constraints they put on this make it incredibly unlikely that this will ever actually occur.  The relics in daoc give a persistent bonus to the entire realm and really does give a bigger incentive for everyone to work together for the good of the whole.

Really though, it's still WAY to early in the lifespan of WAR to really say what the endgame is going to be like.  Give it 6-8 months more and we'll have a better feel for it.

Altdorf has already been attacked on half a dozen servers. No one's managed to kill the king because there aren't enough high level people geared up enough to beat Volkmar and Thyrus(which unlocks the king encounter).

It is still 2 hard to get to that stage. You need something like 300 people organised to get to it quickly.

Once you attack the city it's all instanced, yes. Unlocking the city for attack doesn't really take much. Lock down 2 of the 3 Tier 4 racial pairs completely, and the city opens. Since destruction usually owns the lower tier and usually beats our ass in scenarios, they usually have enough victory points that taking all the keeps and BOs is enough to lock the zone. Now to do this fast, obviously the more people the better, but if there's no resistance it's not going to matter.

People say it takes to long now and the next patch is actually going to make it shorter, but I've been on the receiving end of a mad rush like this when we were outnumbered in RvR 2 to 1 and they took a zone with 100 of us defending in about 3 hours. We just couldn't recap any of the BOs long enough to slow down the victory point gain.

DAoC is a better game, but it should be.  WAR is a good start and will be a great game on its own.  It will take some time to get there.  I remember early DAoC days, and it took some getting used to.  The 3 realm concept was pretty brilliant, but i also find the classes in WAR to be pretty creative, even if balanced fairly evenly across the sides.

i'd play DAoC only if enough people were interested.

I'm curious if anyone is still interested in this.

I checked the VN boards, and they had an "origins" forum set up and everything, even had an FAQ saying they're hoping to have it released by this summerish.
