I'm heading back into the dark; Dark Age of Camelot that is. While Team Fortress 2 has my action gaming covered, I need a new game to replace World of Warcraft for a bit. It is nothing that WoW has done, but I am just tired and can't force myself to login lately. It is probably my fault, because I really needed that fifth epic mount and the brewfest quests were fun. Well, fun for a day. But it doesn't matter, I have my epic Brewfest Riding Ram!
So, I reinstalled Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) today and resubscribed my account. I decided that I'm going to give the Classic servers another shot. After all, the Classic server cluster fixes pretty much every complaint I've ever had about DAoC. No more buff bots. No more Trials of Atlantis, which means no Master Levels or Artifacts.
Of course, there is a couple expansion packs I need to catch up on. Darkness Rising and the Labyrinth of the Minotaur have both launched since I last played, and there appears to be a ton of stuff to do in both. For example, Darkness Rising has mounts, and we all know how much I love collecting my mounts!
For those interested, here are my plans:
Server: Gareth (Bossiney Cluster)
Realm: Midgard
Class: Skald or Warrior
If you play and want to hook up, just let me know and maybe we can get in on some newbie Realm vs. Realm. Oh, did I mention players can almost level completely from Realm vs. Realm now? Awesome. And, experience gain is doubled in the original world and dungeon zones! Leveling like this makes WoW look like a grind.
PS. Please give me plats.
tried this myself about 4 months ago, server was completely empty, battlegrounds were empty, world felt doubly dead since all the towns were destroyed/set ablaze in some sort of world event. I felt like a long lost adventurer returning home to find that his shire had been sarumanized.
ReplyDeleteoh, and those soloable instances were amazing. a straight hallway with a single skeleton every 10 yards. could they make it more like an assembly line?
Well so far I've run into people all over the place and even ran into a Saracen in the newbie mini-Darkness Falls area. I'm liking it so far, but have to get used to the control scheme again.
ReplyDeleteLevel 6 by just goofing off so far.
good to hear that. i dont recall which cluster i tried out, it was classic though. just too busy with my warlock to join you :)
