DAoC Uthgard can beat D3, GW2, ... !

How you guys respond to people who make legitimate, thought out efforts to improve the server is sickening. Every single post I see of Zai is some snarky response saying everything is fine!!! Quit whining!! He does this almost religiously, like he is secretly I'm love with this server and will defend it to his dying breath. But COME ON this server is the most custom server I've ever seen, and has more mechanics issues, bugs and broken classes than any server I've ever seen.
But the worst thing is how people with good intentions like zarkor are looked at as a complainer before they get anything across. He has been spot on with the lack of casual rvr for years but the same stubborn people who have never left this server like to dismiss all change that many people who left this server or avoiding it would love. There are so many bugs, but this server is an insane asylum containing mostly players who have been here for years and would kill their first born to keep it the way it is. Call It a cult if you will, but how often do you see new players really come in and stay at level 50? |

I used to agree alot with Zarkor, but you havent read enough of his posts yet obviously. It is one thing to throw out some suggestions. He throws out 400 custom changes, and then actually gets upset because the GM's wont implement them. For all the changes that Zarkor wants he could make his own custom server. I myself throw out alot of ideas, but I dont get upset if the GM's decide to ignore them. Zark not only gets upset, but its as if because he put 2 hours in writing a post the GM's owe him at least an explanation (which will never be good enough for Zark) if not full implelmentation. When the GM's dont give him either of those then he makes another long wall post talking about how the server is doomed and its all the GM's faults. He has done this since before I got here over 2 years ago, and I honestly see almost no difference between when I started on this server and now.
This is why we give Zarkor grief Panchos. I actually like alot of his ideas, its how he takes it personally when the GM's dont tell him how great of idea it was and they cant wait to implement it. Zacknafein Do'Urden- lvl 50 Ranger- 10L1

You're depicting it as if not only you know how I think but as if I'm not actually addressing an issue. As if all I care about are my "400 custom changes" just so I can get one step closer to my personal DAoC server utopia, regardless of whether they could actually solve something. I have been addressing problems on this server ever since I knew these problems existed and were worth mentioning. Look dude, I don't give 2 ****** about whether or not GMs implement my ideas specificly. I only care about the fact that the problems I lay out, which in this case are seriously harming the server's population, reputation and actual quality, happen to get waved away as if I was the only one who cares about them and thus not worthy of addressing. I am not the only one addressing them, I just am (one of) the only one(s) left doing so because most of the others have just given up hope. I'm not sure u understand how frustrating that is when you clearly see with your own eyes how it is affecting things and have been pointing this out for long, without any result whatsoever. It's damn frustrating and probably why I'm one of the only persons left trying to still make this point and offer solutions for it. Decent solutions, that sometimes require a custom aspect to work, I admit. But if you're afraid of laying these things on the table because "it might be custom!", you're never going to solve anything. While on the other hand when you or some other stealther who have proven to have a high degree of tunnelvision make also completely custom (as if this is something criminal lol, you guys use this like socialists use the word racism), but also beside the point, superficial and naïve suggestions, you actually get taken more seriously, get more feedback and more general attention as if being more relevant or important than things that actually matter because of the person advocating them, is frustrating to say the least. I'm sure it really isn't that hard to get over something that gets ignored if it wasn't worth writing down in the first place... Now I must say that I have received more feedback from Blue, which has been extremely interesting and constructive, than I ever expected. The only thing I really care about is that this problem finally gets fixed, thoroughly and strucurally so that both playerbase and staff can be proud and satisfied about the solution. That is also why what I wrote above is a depiction of the past, since I have to thank Blue for his interest so far recently and I hope we can come to an actual solution, leaving aside what happened in before.

Well Uthgard population decreased cause:
1. Summer time. People prefer stay out of their home. 2. Exams time. There are students playing in this server. Most of them are starting final exams, and need study. Diablo 3 and Guild wars 2 are very different games. People who played DAoC, will still playing DAoC. What need Uthgard? Something new like SI, pets, necromancer, some bug fix ... dunno. But im sure that GMs have ideas for this. |

"you guys use this like socialists use the word racism"

Uthgard is not dying, this is just a phase, a series of events that helped for population to get a bit lower.
like some said : exams, summer time inc, Diablo, GW2, Eden, are some of the reasons, but as usual soon or later people return back to DAoC, as long game companies can't realise that 3 realms and DAoC RvR system is that cool and make a similar game, DAoC will be the king. On the other hand i agree 100% with zarkor, there are some problems and like i have said in the past the biggest one is population, if Uth ever can manage to have 1k+ people online it will be just awesome even with some bugs and some other issues the fun part puts all away, because more people means more fun, no waiting for groups to be done, not roaming in empty frontiers, more enemies to kill for casual and elite groups, more enemies for soloers, small man... high population is all we need. On my part i love the game, i have made a lot of videos as you all know, i have advertised the server in the videos and not only, and i believe my little efforts helped a bit, i had pm's in the game by people telling me they came to uthgard because of some video. About gm's... some people blaming gm's for anything, like they are getting paid for what they do and they should be 24/7 at ppl service, for me i am just happy to see that change log is actually changing, means gm's are doing things, don't expect miracles to happen. ( btw fix the bug of archers not getting revealed after a crit shot  )anyway i don't post at forums much while 90% of the threads are not getting anywhere, but i believe Zarkor has a point here he put a lot of effort making this post and he deserves some attention. ...just my 3 cents ( i am not that cheap like most of you 2 cents'ers ).

I have zero problem w/ Zarkor making a post, but he at least needs to acknowledge that he has been spelling the doom and gloom of this server since I've been here for over 2 years. Now he actually see's a drop in population and is acting like some psychic that called the end of the world.
As I've said a ton before Zarkor, I like alot of your ideas. I like that you have passion and unlike alot of people on here will actually back up your arguments. However, dont tell me you dont take it personally when the GM's dont comment or implement your ideas. I have seen you lose your temper on these forums on countless times for these exact reasons. You think you have the master plan to fix "everything" that is wrong with this server and the truth is that you dont. I will admit that some of your ideas may have promise, but not all and the GM's are the ones that actually have to implement those changes and forsee what people will do to abuse these changes and that is much harder then making a 1 page long post. Also, as I have said countless times here, you can make every change you want and no matter what there will always be classes that people can exploit and make "OP'd" and there will always be fluctuations on a free server emulating a game that is over 10 years old. Maybe one of the problems w/ new players staying around is that every time they read a single thread in the forums all they hear is how broke and doomed the server is. Maybe try and focus on the good things the server does offer. It has to be doing something right w/ being around as long as it has. |

You seem to disregard that even Blue thought about Uthgard's situation - and about modern games as competition. I know some players who are not motivated to continue to play daoc due to modern games (yes it includes myself) - its important to think about it. You guys always throw in the same argument: "blablabla everyone comes back." But this is absolutely not valid or true. aylwynn warden

you're right, if nothing done to attract new players and keep old ones, the curse of life will make daoc dead ^^ daoc on utguard has good reasons/arguments to attract ppl, for now best pvp/rvr over 10 years, players and staff have to communicate that ! The best demonstration is a wealthy active pvp/rvr server, lets do it Blue ! VINTERSORG on Mid = Durack/Morbac/Krakar/Thjork/Fripouille/Verole/Lumna

Amazing that anyone still takes you seriously (myself included). You are the ultimate nerd prima dona. A hollow "idea man" whom, as far as I know, has done no actual work for the server (unless you count manufacturing forum drama as "work"), but has the gall to insult those of us with "tunnelvision" who have actually donated time to improve this server in tangible ways. What's most impressive is the extreme degree of cognitive dissonance you must exercise to believe the staff ignore everything you say and treat you unfairly when the forum is lined with Zarkor Brand Megathreads like milestones leading to nowhere. If you want a response, here's one: I think your ideas are bad because, ironically, you fail to grasp the problems effecting this server in much the same way that the staff do. Players don't like defending in keep sieges because, basically, it isn't fun. Your solution: push them to defend keeps anyway with artificial rewards and structural incentives. You want to incentivize bad gameplay mechanics in the name of "realm pride" (whatever that means within the context of a server with no realm restrictions). Bad Game Design 101. NF RAs are imbalanced. Your solution: replace them with an obsolete, ill conceived system that even Mythic admitted was poorly designed. And weren't you the most vocal member of the OF mafia? Thanks to you, I spend every night looking at Emain Macha, with its idiotic choke points, long travel times, awful OF keep designs, and hideous green textures. Now you invite us to read your wall of text suggestions for how we can polish this turd. The only people here with "tunnelvision" are you and anyone who believes a word you say. GOOD DAY, SIR. GOOD DAY.

Giving more incentives for owning keeps will give them more meaning, more tactical options, more RvR in different places and will distract from
The no realm restrictions are not really intended. If it would be technically possible we would restrict it to one realm or at least have a xrealm timer. It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.
