1. It's easy to see the positive effect on population/action when realmpoint bonuses are implemented, but what about the downside? Is it really a good idea to switch bonuses on and off so frequently? If bonuses were permanent they would no longer be…

The problem with doppels (and any other uniform resource that spawns randomly across a large area) is how difficult it is to find the right balance between scarcity and abundance. Scarcity = Frustration. Abundance = Players roam small loops of spa…

Don't forget the bonus to realm points. We know very well this has a positive effect on population/action. The problem is we have no idea what the negative effects are.

I dislike them both, but from a solo player point of view I will say this: The greatest quality of the Old Frontiers is that players from different realms enter the frontiers from opposite sides. This gives you a sense of "trespassing" into dangero…

It won't work. Trust me
-
If (and it's a big "if") Broadsword has the resources and the desire to significantly redesign the frontiers, I think the best approach would be to release the new server (OF or NF, it doesn't matter much to me). Then work on rebuilding the Frontier…

Doppels are a nice addition to sprinkle on top of an already functioning design, but they cannot be the main design. They are too rare to provide any kind of satisfactory experience between kills, not to mention the frustration of competing with rea…

The fact that people have different opinions on matters like ruined keeps and realm timers does not invalidate their requests and concerns. There are good arguments on both sides of these discussions, and there is nothing controversial about *not* h…

Ruined keeps should be stand-alone structures like the mazes. No teleport. One in each frontier with solo quest objectives, and perhaps one on EV with group objectives.

I'm really only interested in *one* fresh start. A fresh start is needed to undo most of the damage done by Curse, OW, RP inflation, access to all realms, etc. These things cannot be fixed on Ywain (the damage is done). I have no intention of ever p…

It's not a classic server. Afaik, Broadsword has only used the term "classic" to refer to the base game.
-
No, it's a thread from 2015 looking back at the Origin server that never happened. Just like this thread.
-
This is just confusing to anyone who isn't already familiar with what Origins was. At least state how old (and irrelevant) this information is. Besides, Broadsword does not have the resources to redesign the game in any significant way. They can …

I'm very much looking forward the new alternate server, but I don't see a bright future for Ywain. If players do not come back for EC/Ywain, but do come back for a new server (which I believe many players will), this is a clear indication that they …

@Kroko 1. The realmrank system is a cornerstone of daoc. If you removed this system of progression and made everyone RR10 I would never touch the game. The progression is absolutely essential to the game, and the more *consistent* it is, the better…
-
I've been inactive for 3½ years, and I'm just waiting for the new server. It's not a nostalgic desire for a "classic" server. It's much more simple than that. The appeal of Ywain has fallen below a certain critical point (for me). A new server is by…
