Uthgard is coming back, 2.0 style.

Taking the proper time to open well is good, but the time is now starting run out. Most of the Genesis players who said that they would go back to Uthgard are now saying they will stick with Genesis just because they are now too invested in the server. If this server does not open by the end of the year, it may be a moot point.

Two free-shard servers, with a different ruleset, is not a bad thing.
People seem to think DaoC players, wanting OF, is a constant fixed mass, and that 200 joining one server means 200 less for another. But it doesn't work that way, more likely you will have 500 (not playing Genesis) joining Uthgard (who didn't like Genesis when it launched), who then will talk to players who play both servers, and decide to give it another try.

I have 5 Legendary(Master) crafters (SC, Alch, WC, AC, Tailor) on Genesis, rank 5+ chars and a LOT of plats, and still I will start up on Uthgard.
I will then play both servers, and hope many others will do the same.
This will highly increase chances of finding action/xp groups/raids etc etc...


But of course, if both server populations go back to "feces throwing", then they'll scare away potential new players for both servers.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Other set of people not deserving any news might be the ones, dear Kildich, staring you from the mirror. You are so arrogant and rude all the time to anyone saying anything that opposes your field of view. By that comment you just represented the part of community that no one really wants to see. So please, you be quiet and play by the values you just stated above.

Besides: I do not consider myself complaining when I express my concern on Uthgard's return after Blue & co being deathlike quiet so long. I still wish Uthgard to return, but like I posted before: I am - like so many other already - finally beginning to lose my faith and am beginning to turn to some other direction.

I wish I could share the optimism Alpha has, but...

First of all, i am playing Genesis in these days and i have realized that the biggest part of community will join Uthgard for sure, as it gets back. The other part will come here too because it's just a waste of time to play on a server with about 300 as a max amount of player.

And for those who think that Uthgard will never come back, i think that you are probably wrong, because people are still donating to the server and this means that GMs are taking moneys while they don't get anymore if they don't release the server. So it is in their interest to release the server even if they will not be really present on it.. they just have to do a good work during this revamp that will please people for more time. In this case they will get the max amount of moneys, which is probably their real goal.

They don't do this for money dude... is their spare-time project

Uthgard has so far stood the test of time - MMO's have come and gone while this remained active.

If it takes one year of downtime to continue for another 10 years of access then I'll take it. It's been a server I would always keep loaded on my computer - maybe without playing for months - but it was there to pick up and put down. Even with CU coming out I still believe Uthgard will have a place.

Looking forward to it coming back....one day

are we there yet?

Plz , release soon, ArcheAge is not so entertaining as I assume . DAOC FTW

Pfft... Uthgard is big business, almost as good as Google.
I recon they bring in 200 billion $ a year in donations.

Were you there when they said when they took our beloved server down?

Were you there when they said an estimate 3 months?

Were you there when they would release an update every 2 weeks?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?


oooh sometimes... It causes me to tremble... tremble... tremble...

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Are you guys in need of any help programming?

1 news (if this post was a news since there was no information in it) every 4 months, np everything is fine...

Could be, but surely they would need a community manager!

Ps.

Well it seems you never played other MMO pve contents, because DAoC pve (especially at least on shards level) is totally weak on almost every aspect...

DAoC is great because of the 8v8, RvR, and Endgame RR system.

The staff doesn't need help, They need to update and tell us if they expect to be back up and operational before or sometime in 2015. The server was practically done already, who knows how many years they had been working on SI. How is it that Origins opens with a server that already has BD class(working decent), necro(working ok), and animist working. How is it that they have SI about done except for drops and mob difficulty(in endgame dungeon).

I'll just down right say it, Uthgard are a combination of lazy staff who don't respect anyone except themselves. While I spent a month(maybe less) testing Defense penetration and others who probably dedicated maybe 3 months I expect to see some improvements. I was told that they had sufficient data every stopped and I thought that by now something happen. Well after confronting the Staff in charge of this I was told that the project was halted and hasn't been touched since it's completion.

Honestly After hearing that I have lost hope, maybe someone can bring it back to me......
