To be clear, when getting a fresh install of DAoC should we patch as well?

Yep

Have you any plans to try balance the realms population? for example if you notice after 2 weeks that midgard has 60% population vs 30% vs 10%,

Would you be proactive in trying to balance this? or is it something you will allow it to solve itself over the many months.

My informations could be outdated, but afaik there are no plans to make any balance fixes to regulate population numbers. In the past Uthgard community solved these problems on their own as leading rvr groups switched realms when one realm was overpopulated. If there might be an issue later this time, staff may consider to put in realm bonuses for underpopulated realms, but I doubt such things will become necessary.

Learn the news of a beta that will begin in less than a month, it fills me with joy. I am very interested in the Enchanter class of Hibernia. In Uthgard 2.0 this class will be fully implemented? I remember in 1.0 Uthgard it was nerfed (some pets didn't work).

I hope craft tasks will all work (bad remembers from this server and others with craft tasks bug)

I have been walking around with a boner since April 1st.

I have been a silent forum creeper since the server went down, checking daily and keeping up with the trash talk that has been going on over the years. One topic I cannot remember reading about: Are old character models going to be available or are we forced to endure only the new models?

Thank you.

Hi Gampo.

Old character models will be available, players have a choice between them and Catacombs models.

I think it'll be 50% Hibernia vs. 40% Midgard vs. 10% Albion.

Sounds about right, the 10% Albs will of course be stealthers sitting at AMG

Nah, I'm hopeful some of the good and active guilds will realize Albion will be the underdog realm, take it as a challenge and actually play Albion.

It could actually be really appealing for a set group since you will always have people to fight, the sad part about playing the OP realms is running around in an empty Emain with no enemies because they've given up.

I would like to make this an official challenge to any of the strong set groups out there, play Albion, show how good you are.

I think it will create a very healthy RvR culture on the server since PUG groups will have a bigger chance if the best players is actually playing the realm with the biggest disadvantage.

The elite set group on Albion will of course still be able to beat the PUG's almost everytime, but I think they won't feel quite as hopeless and steamrolled as they otherwise would.

A win-win for both sides.

What do you guys think?

i wish we would play in hibernia... but that carousel of ...mourning, full of old men will decide for midgard again i guess
