Hey guys, I am new to DAoC, and I am interested on playing on this server.
I have read the guides on downloading and installation, and serched through as many posts about it as i can find, but I am confused. (btw, US client is what i want)
From what i read, i believe that u must install the 14-day free trial. Then after that, install it in the default folder. Next, you download catacombs and darkness rising, ONLY if u have a suitable PC to run these programs. Then, you install each in a different folder? NOT the default one?!?
Then after that, i believe that u must update the free trial to version 1.83. to do this u must do what Unintended states in this post

This is help topic.

First you need game,update it. If you have US version you need to modify update.dat.
Watch that you do not have empty spaces after the text and on the end!
Othervise it will not work.

Edit the update.dat as follow for Classic Client:

Mythic Patch
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/camelot/mpatch.dat
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/camelot/mpatch.dat


Edit the update.dat as follow for Shrouded Isles(SI):

Mythic Patch
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/isles/mpatch.dat
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/isles/mpatch.dat


Edit the update.dat as follow for Trials Of Atlantis (TOA):

Mythic Patch
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/atlantis/mpatch.dat
193.252.123.21:1280/updates/english/atlantis/mpatch.dat

After that simply start the camelot.exe and wait till it is patched.
When asked to enter a CD key simply enter nothing and press ENTER. You do not need a CD Key to play on server!
you can get all expansions just switching camelot -> isles -> atlantis (don't ask cd keys you aren't going to get those)

Second you need freeshard launcher (easy way) http://uthgard.the-bart.org/modules.php ... etit&lid=5.

Installing launcher: install it like F:\Mythic\Isles\Launcher>. It need to be installed own folder, inside folder witch includes game.dll, otherwise it dosen't work.

you could have this too

Foundations for SI (free DAoC Expansion visit Camelot main site > expansions section for download location)
or go here http://www.camelotherald.com/housing/downloads.php

New Frontiers for ToA (free DAoC Expansion visit Camelot main site > expansions section for download location)
or here http://www.camelotherald.com/newfrontiers/download.php


And to do that, you only update which every expansions you are using.

My question is mostly, if i download free trial and catacombs, do i install both in the defualt paths, or create something else. Also, if any of my method is flawed, please inform me. Also, will installing only these two programs in any way inhibit or alter my playing experience. Also, what additional updates does having any of the expansions provide toward the game play?

Also, do we need to update catacombs, it isnt included in the above quote?
IN addition to these questions, if anyone could help me out in any way, or offer suggestions, I would be very greatful.
The server looks great and I cant wait to begin my experience immersed in the world of the Dark Age of Camelot.

See you in game,
ChaosTassadar
