That's actually quite cute. I'll give a good job for that one. No rain for the parade this time.

When you log in, you can find your old characters under the archived servers dropdown (think it's near the bottom). You have to log into those servers and /freexfer them to Ywain. You do not need to subscribe, but all your characters will be as wo…

I understand. I think everybody should be playing here rightfully. It's just too bad things are what they are. The best chance live is going to get to regain significant people will be around August-November. Live really needs to gain a lot of…

I think they need to scale the Buggane potion in the opposite direction and increase the % past RR4 rather than decrease it. I do not think there are enough players left to justify messing with the Dopps or even reducing them to pre-event levels.…

Sorry for the bad news but this is a pay to 2 win game.

Yah you can play here with like 30 people in each realm, or < you know where > where's there's multiple keep raids going on with 100+ attackers at each keep. Most of the people you play with here are the same group just realm hopping to follo…

Buff bots are incredibly toxic to the game and always have been. This change should have went in 22-23 years ago. On Alb half the population is usually afk bots in the relic town. This should not be, and its kind of disgusting. It is amazing…

There's enough PVE -> RPs to advance your character over 100k rps every night. It actually works better and gets easier as the population drops. Adding more isn't really opening up any new advancement paths. Also, you're still losing vs the RR…

I don't think the population issues are fixable. The future of DAOC sadly isn't with the official servers anymore IMO. Dopples and PVE monsters that give RP are a bandaid that's letting people advance characters due to the lack of opponents they…

Ok i've had it. 10 events and no regard for your regular population. If all 10 of those were a week long, that's like 2.5 months of game time that has gone to waste roaming for hours killing dopps with no people in sight. My small group of 3-…

I dont think classic would help unless it's going to magically bring back everybody who washed out of Ywaine, and then those of us who learned how to play on Ywaine would still have the same problems of no population. I also think that its not real…

I should have asked to do you have a real credible source that isn't coated in salt and bias. Either way its not important enough to derail the thread further with conspiracy theories. IMO they should have done the following with the event to ma…

Depends on the time of day and realm. Here's what I see, being back for about 2 years now: Excluding preset 8v8 type groups: -Hibernia only exists when their BG leader is online. He's from Germany, so Hib is very popular during the Daytime E…

I agree, having options were nice. Last night the game was so stale we quit RVRing early. This looks like its going to become the new norm sadly. We actually did PvE last night lol. Many of us are fearing a population downfall soon now that the …

There is one good thing i think about this event part 3 which is the horse and hunt speed stack which means you can actually go out without a Mins/Sorc and not get run down by every single group out there. I would like to see this become a thing …

Did you reply to the right thread? I dont think Brut is even on this one and we were not talking about how strong or weak alb is. This was the event feedback

I also have no reason to believe they are cheating. The problems with IRC are 1) They are well coordinated and play together a lot which makes them good together and,,, 2) Everybody fights them using the dumbest plan of action they can possib…

Phase 1 was simply awesome. I could group or solo and have a great productive night. It was lots of fun too with group, bg, and solo encounters everywhere. The stealth zergs eventually detracted a little bit from it but nothing's perfect. I rate…

If I remember right, originally they did nothing. At some point they were modified so stat buffs / debuffs effected npcs. Mind you, this is me remembering details from over 10-15 years ago: Str should increase or reduce the damage a NPC does …

It is a little alarming when your realms population is 65 people, many of which are bots, during what are still prime time hours on the US West Coast. I came to the official servers because I figured there would be less chance at having progress …

It's not very healthy population-wise now. Realms tend to field maybe 100-150 each total pop most nights, but only a small portion of that can be considered active rvr. It drops off dramatically after 10:30pm Eastern US time. There are many man…

I would like to see these brought back as well. I was hoping to explore them more thoroughly upon returning to the game, and the closure has made me sad
-
Could you maybe throw a 1/4 of that bonus to the rest of us who would rather stay in NF please? We have less people to interact with out there, so can we make it more worthwhile?
-
You can get 40k+/hr doing dopplegangers by finding a good loop that has 5-6 of them in a small area, and isn't overrun by realm adversaries. It does take some good potions like a 50% pot, but it's very doable If you're unsure what a doppleganger…

Sieges are boring now. The heavy tanks climbing the walls wasn't deciding the outcome, it was just expediting the inevitable. If you could take walls with tanks, then you were going to take the keep anyway because the defenders did not have enough…

Agree with both of these points. Sieges are incredibly boring as a heavy tank now and most of the light tanks i know no longer play light tanks.

I feel your pain. I have lost count of how many times on alb i've been the only melee in a 20-30 person BG. Caster groups just rule the game, and keeps / towers don't really have any value to a lot of people beyond a RP bonus at the end which rew…

LGM all crafts. It's worth it. It's one of the best uses of plat i have had so far in the game. Even fletching has paid for itself. Alchemy is a must have though unless you are loaded on plat. The freedom you get to modify your equipment anyt…

TBH abusing the melee mechanics just seems to be part game. I sort of doubt BS has the technical expertise to address the problem even if they wanted to given the change to easy positional styles was made so long ago. Back styles seem a little bit…

I think they should give Paladins sojourner and remove warlord. They have the exact same ML right as the Arms, and alb has no EC sojourner access unlike other realms.

I agree they need to get the game out there and improve the marketing. People used to leave to start families and jobs, but now they leave because they are perpetually ill or dead. It's a lot sadder now. The low population right now is creating…

You wont be able to play the game for free if nobody subscribes to it. It's pretty straightforward. If more people subscribed, there *may* be more resources to also improve the game. The game needs marketing and distribution. Its lacking both …

I have to agree with this. I too have been suggesting for a long time that the game needs better distribution and marketing. I've been back about a year and a half, and i've seen one actual "new" player in that time. The sub base isn't going to…

You can't solo the boss, but you don't need a group (just a BG) for credit. Most of the runs I participated in as a solo Arms. Either way it's silly for them to keep the crystals and get rid of the bosses. We're not making 10 mill rp in 3 days l…

The flowers were just about the right balance of everything i think. They were close enough to the ports that they were worthwhile, but not too close that it became impossible to fight over them. The ports could also be easily broken with 1 of 3 t…

I agree with the overall post. Some QoL stuff and unlocks in the mithril store would be nice.

I would be fine with that. Its outright obnoxious having to deal with bot classes who have speed, mez, root, heals, zephyr, phase shift, stun, insta mez, SoS, and a whole template worth of /uses wrapped up into one class when Alb has nothing to c…
