DAoC is here! So long EQ... it's been fun!
pri...@nowhere.com
Well, Dark Age of Camelot is finally out and I'm going to
bid a fond farewell to EQ. Most of what made EQ fun
is my relations with other people in the game. Outside
of the social aspect, EQ is an ok game... but it really
does lack substance beyond hack-and-slash. I mean,
truthfully, Old Seb is no different that Lower Guk which
is no different than Upper Guk which is not much
different that Innothule Swamp or even the 3 Froggies
in the Qeynos sewers. It's all the same thing only
harder. Players become more powerful as they level,
but monsters become a SHITLOAD more powerful.
At any rate, most of my guild mates are leaving to
play DAoC and I'm going with them. DAoC looks
very promising and I will welcome the change
Sayonara!

Dunno bout the usual suspects but I for one stopped to consider if I'd
ever heard of this poster before. Realizing I had not I wondered just
why he thought we would care that he was leaving or what his
interpretation of the game we play was based on since it was so patently
absurd as to suggest that either he has never actually played EQ or
played it very badly if he did. After a brief chuckle I moved on,
feeling no need to ridicule the ridiculous.
Oh, btw, no one goes to Velks anymore, its too crowded.

to create an account.
EB just got them in today, none were returned yet (according to the
2 store people) and yet I cannot create an account because it says my
CD Key is already in use. What the heck? Crap.
Been calling DAOC long distance phone support number all day, it's
continuously busy of course, the web site does not load and the email
I sent is returned undeliverable. Also, just a few minutes ago I tried
to get to the account creation screen one more time and I now get the
message that the servers will be down for another hour and a half.
Come on, I know this is the first or second day and there's bound to
be a glitch or two but give me a break! Without a possibility of this
CD key having been purchased, installed and used already (I got the
last copy in the store) how can my CD key "already be in use"?
Anyone else have this problem?
Of course, all 3 EBs in my area are now sold out and will not get more
copies in for 3 or 4 days they say. Great.

awesome game. Too me it's a bit like EQ but a hell of a lot better, I've
talked to a handful of EQ players thats tested DAoC that said they were
cancling their EQ accounts for DAoC.
I'm not cancling my account but I haven't played it for a long, long time,
but will give EQ: SoL a try.

heard theres a guild in EQ that almost everyone of them tested DAoC and
everyone was leaving EQ for DAoC. I talked to a female character a week or
two before beta ended and she told me "I just got my beta account a few days
ago, I believe it's time for me to cancel my EQ account"
But most people that I talked to that stated the disliked DAoC was people
that was in late Beta 2 or early Beta 3 before there was tons of stuff
added. But now theres horses, dungeons, vaults to put items in, tons of
quests, soon to be housing, and all kinda of stuff they have talked much
about. Best of all great CSR's.

If I ever get DAoC going here I may well stop playing EQ. I don't
hate it, but frankly, after getting one character to 60, a few others
fairly high in level and trying all the others classes a bit I've
pretty much seen and done all there is to do in EQ. I'm just tired
of it. I'm tire of VI constantly fixing or adding new things and
screwing up other things that worked just fine. I've just got to
the point where I don't feel a compelling desire to log on. I want
something new and I won't be playing EQ if I start getting into
DAoC.
I've been holding on til SoL went live hoping there might be
something there to keep me interested but without any 50+ zones
being added, the pets and the new character models (which IMHO
are just plain awful so far) it's just not going to be enough
to keep me playing I'm afraid.
I'll hang on a bit longer, but frankly I can see the end coming
for me and EQ. It's been a hell of a lot of fun, but not any
more. 8^/

You know, we get a new blowhard like you every few weeks in here. They

Like the rest of them, you seem to have this bizarre notion that there

It's that notion that demonstrates your lack of wit.

Well, for a farewell post, this one isn't as stinky or spiteful in spirit as
most. Still basically 'anonymous,' as none of us know who you are...so you
could be anyone...including an industry spy for Mythic.
I'm interested in DAoC.....but I'm waiting to see the testemony of the
reviewers and general public before I even consider thinking of looking at
maybe possibly buying it. Maybe.
Hope it's not as buggy as the opening releases of AO & WWII Online.

Well I've heard the "DAoC R0x0rs" already but then I heard that about AO "AO
r0x EQ sux0rs2 (was prolly a dude in there)
"So why are you playing EQ?" Came the question all across EC
"Servers are down" and 150 people in a busy Bazaar then proceded to wipe
their drinks of their monitor screens.
My prediction.
AC will suffer (2 of the Directors here, one my immediate boss, play it and
have said the servers are very quiet now)
UO will take a pounding, many UO players would not play EQ because it was,
well EQ, the same as Quake World players hated Q2 but liked Q3 (because it
wasn't Q2) and Q2 players hated Q3 etc. This is a chance to jump across to a
up to date game that isn't EQ.
AO, lol, this will prolly disappear up it's own back orifice and now rival
Meridain 59 in the player stakes everyone I know that moved over to play has
either quit completely or just cancelled thier account.
EQ will suffer less and verant are prolly concerned but I think many players
will move back, from what I have seen I agree with Biz's statement, it's
like EQ (by design) but different.
I'll give it ago (meant to be on it's way from the US) and may or may not
move over, atm I am too into EQ to really give it a fair trial, so maybe
next month or so.

AC turned off they population counts to thier servers last patch, hmmm

by far the worst. I just don't see why everyone has to have this, my game
is the best attitude. Do you eat the same thing everyday without change?
How boring. I'll still be playing EQ and DAoC so when I get bored with one
I can go back to the other. Life is full of different and wonderful things.
Every one should try something different at least once in a while.

Well, everyone knows who you are, bizbee, and your opinion
is at least as worthless as mine--that certainly does not make
a very compelling argument for NOT posting anonymously.
Besides, as a member of the clergy, I would be in big trouble
if anyone discovered that I was uploading and downloading
gay-porn. That is why I post anonymously in the first place.

Rod, here's perfect evidence that wrecks your little "old timers

I'm in his killfile over prior disagreements - yet he also thinks
you're a dumbass.

"Showin' your ignorance again, Morgan."
Every review of DAoC has been quite favorable. Posts on DAoC
beta-boards are clearly stacked in favor of DAoC being a FAR
superior game to EQ with only minimal problems (to be expected
in a beta-test) which would be fixed in short order. EQ isn't a bad
game except that it's a no-holds-barred, hack-n-slash level-quest
of a game with no real substance beyond level 20 (and, yes, I do
have characters beyond 20 on both of my cancelled accounts--
I have an L56 Erudite Wizard and a L52 Halfling Druid as well
as a collection of sub-40s characters that pretty much cover
the spectrum of characters that EQ offers). Let's face it, PvP
is a joke in EQ, even on the Zek servers, trade skills are a joke,
most quests are nothing more than NPC guided hack-n-slash,
fuck-it-didn't-drop, wait, hack-n-slash some more. Above all,
Verant takes this game and themselves WAAAAYY too
seriously. Well, I did have some fun in the past 3 years (I say
3 years because I was in the beta) and Verant got plenty of
my money--now it's time to trade up. See you all (well, not
all of you, just the smart ones) in DAoC.

Awww... Fabno is cheesed off that I insulted OS because his character
is ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED there and he always gets a group.
Glad you enjoy it so much, but if you step back and look at it,
it's the same old shit as Lower Guk and so on. Just as you are
the SAME old shit that you were at level 1. Sure you've got a
few more trick and a few more hit points... well, the frogs in OS
have a few more tricks (summoning, increased agro radius and
they hit FUCKING hard) and they have a LOT more hit point.
With your little pet, you could solo the frogs in the Qeynos sewers
and in Innothule and in the entrance of Upper Guk. After that,
you needed a crew. The reason for this is because, while you
got stronger, the NPCs got ALOT stronger. So much so that
fighting an "even" con mob at your level is an exercise that
requires multiple high-level crews. Really, though, if you
get down to brass-tacks, it's all the same and you could have
saved yourself a lot of time and effort if you'd simply quit at
level 20 when you could still solo even-con frogs. At least
then you'd feel like you were still pretty strong relative to
the mobs. It's kinda like those fire beetles (Klickniks and
Klacknaks) that you cut your teeth on. Is there much
difference between those and a Lava Duct Crawler in
Sol B? The LDCs have more hits, hit a LOT hard and
are generally a pain in the ass. You get slightly more loot
from an LDC than from a fire beetle. But... I thought the
point of gaining levels and going to new places was to
actually SEE SOMETHING NEW. Largers Kobolds and
fire beetles on steroids isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Undead Frogloks which are simply redressed Frogloks
which are crap that I fought in the Qeynos sewers at
level 6 hard qualifies either. If you're having fun,
however, then knock yourself out.

<snip blather about how idiot never learned a dang thing>
I shudder to think what grouping with you must have been like. Having
played most classes to just mid levels I've seen every character develop
and change strategies as levels increased. The chars I have advanced to
higher levels have seen this happen over and over again as new
challenges were met with new tactics. The skills and techniques
available and required to be effective definitely change between
fighting a lvl 2 fire beetle and taking on an OS ugly bastard beetle.
If you approached the high level game (if you actually played eq at all)
with the mentality you show in your posts I can only imagine the horror
and carnage that followed in your wake.

Mostly to point out how much fun can be had by mocking ignorant folks
such as yourself. The key is that you provide such a foundation for
being mocked in your own words. So often folks go out of their way to
manufacture an excuse to mock someone (see paul phillips) when posts
such as yours are just asking to be taken advantage of. In this modern
world every poster has a right, no dangit, a duty to mock those such as
yourself too stupid to even recognize their own ignorance. As someone

If you think DAoC is going to offer more "substance beyond hack-and-slash"
then I'm afraid you've got another think coming. It's going to be the same
old formula, with the names changed to protect the guilty.
What I think is funny is how people are willing to go pay $13 a month for an
EQ clone without any actual feedback about what the long-term gameplay is
going to be like. Sure, I guess it's something to kill time on, and hey,
maybe it WILL be great. Maybe.

Replace "downtime" with "travel time" and "tradeskill time", and you're
right on target. DAoC really kills EQ in terms of reducing downtime, but
they have other time sinks....

DAoC PvP thing was listed as something EQ doesn't have, consider this, maybe
not everyone wants PvP? *gasp* if they do play Sullon Zek, or any Zek...
The only new thing DAoC really has is its history and background for the
game...I guess.

It's better than EQ? Cool! How many quests, mob models, different
armour/object graphics, and cities does it have? How many things are there
to discover? Oh, now you want to compare DAoC to EQ when IT came out? Well,
here's news for you - compare DAoC to today's EQ, because that's the one you

As opposed to the joke that is PvE in DAoC. Guess which I prefer. 8/
>trade skills are a joke
Trade skills in DAoC are broken. There's no reason to NOT do them, and
in fact if you want the best gear you HAVE to do them. EQ has a community of
tradeskillers - I doubt DAoC will ever have that, since everything is so
cookie-cutter simple. And because trade skills produce the best items in
game, PvE is completely pointless - you do it to level, and get cash for
tradeskills.
I also have questions about whether the "enforced pause" when making
something will prove to be more downtime than if someone with proper pack
arrangement in EQ did a similar item, but having not tried the DAoC
tradeskill system personally I can't tell.

>fuck-it-didn't-drop, wait, hack-n-slash some more.
As opposed to what few quests being in game being delivery quests, or
even better, a-dozen-of-us-killed-it-so-it-had-a-dozen-heads quests.

My predictions for DAoC:
(1) They will deal with anyone messing with their vision of how things
should go even more harshly than EQ. This is the game that bans folks who
are dewds in public channels on their RP servers, remember, with Tweety as a
rep.
(2) When the "exploits" are found in DAoC, the nerfs will come as fast and
as furious as in any previous MMOG.
(3) If one realm owns the others in PvP badly enough, expect more nerfs a
plenty. Players will complain, and will be soundly rebuffed by a company
that sounds like it doesn't care.
In short: Mythic will be just like everyone else, no matter how many
times you say "but they REALLY care".

all hyped for nothing...Sorry
