- sit at your portal keep for an hour + in LFG for the right class's
- 5 to 10 min fight
- sit at PK, wait for cool downs
- refill cc slot 30+ mins
- 5 to 10 min fight
- back to pk to wait for cool downs,
- group fell apart


Don't get me wrong. I'm exited as hell to do it. But that's the sad truth about it. We may not have liked all the expansions and what not. But they came and happened for a reason.

The above will certainly happen for pugs. Not so much with guild groups. Although it's getting harder and harder to build full guild groups now that we're all adults with **** to do.

The game was never meant for this..

..it was meant for RvR. This game was about land control, red equals dead and realm pride. If you want to duel people or small man or 8man, go to a server with that in mind. RvR games should be large scale.

Or, you know, you could have large scale RvR, 8v8, small group and solo all going at the same time, like it actually happened.

Saying that the game should only have large scale battles is the exact same thing as saying it should only be 8v8. Do your thing and let others do theirs.

Hello everyone!
I'm GM of Rainbow Guild ( 8 ppl ) and we r constantly playing together since 2001.
So far we played on Merlin-Hib, Merlin-Alb, Glastonbury-Mid, Bossiney-Alb, Prydwen-Hib Pretty successful rr9-11 almost everywhere. We also had some BG 49 fun on alb and hib in Uthgard.
We are very glad to hear that Uthgard 2.0 is upcoming. And we gathered all together to play again. We will start right from beta to help out GM's to fix bugs and etc, to make server open even faster as much as it is depending by our side.
Right now we have 3 setups for each realm to play. But we would like to play Albion since that realm is going to be underdog as always no matter what server or patch it is. So its even better just because u have more enemies to fight with.
As a Matter of fact there is no place for paladin in Albion group, whoever can say whatever they think, we r talking about pro albion group here. Its not even about determination where pala is mezzed rooted stunned all the time and useless its also that end is 1k range and either tanks or caster never get it, but that's it. Even with det 3/5 pala has no spot in our group that's it (probably no spot in any other pro albion 8 man setup either). Not here to ask determination for paladins or something. Actually against it because giving determination to paladin is opening a mouth of a big whine for skalds/reavers/champions/vw's and etc. So in order to close the topic of whine before it is even opens, just do not give determination to paladin and keep it as it is in 1.65.
We will run end3 pots. The only problem is 2 min timer 1 Charge pots.
I'm all against changing balance of 1.65 patch. But please consider of 10 min timer 9 charges or at LEAST 2 min timer 9 charges end potions. This is not balance change because proper albs will run it anyway this is just a Quality of Life change, that makes it more enjoyable.
Its already not that fun using pot every 2 minutes instead of 10 minutes. But at least with 9 charges u wouldn't port to your vault keeper/merchant/guildy for potions every time (every 20 minutes actually).
Not only because if that but because you also need to run power potions as casters which takes inventory place, and heal endu potions on tanks, because end3 is just not enough, on top of that u want to run some buff potions just because 2 clerics cant buff all group ( dont even bring friar idea here its not discussion matter)

So i'm asking GM's to consider and think for a moment, just a moment, that potion quality of life wont change balance at all but make it easier and more enjoyable.
Make it 10 minute 9 charge potions or at least 2 minute 9 charge instead of 2 minute 1 charge.

2 minute 9 charge is already very annoying compared to 10 minute 9 charge just because you have to use it every 2 minutes but it is at least Something! Compared to 1 charge which is big waste of time. Thanks for your considering in advance dear GM''s.
And thanks for hard work and bringing this opportunity to play daoc again!

P.s: you can check our daoc rvr videos at youtube, /user/eLkain24

P.S.S: Also in my opinion and i think most will agree that changing potion timer is not even a custom change because it is a quality of life change, as much as mob's pathing fix, or some other bug fix that 1.65 had.

Want to hear something funny?

Uth 1.0 used to have Barrels...which are potions with 100 uses

All this BLAH has changed my mind. I was gonna go Midgard. Now with people saying Albion is going to be a problem, I'm going Albion.

Also, there are a lot of nay sayers about timers and CC and reports and such....I remember the 15 min timer from realm to another realm. In some ways that added to the game. It was an element we all had to deal with and learned to make it work. I remeber the drama from forgetting to wear the necklace... Hey, it worked and it made going to another realm GOING to another realm.... You went there and didn't do stupid things hopefully....

I'm excited and looking forward to it.

Every one just relax.

You're welcome.

It's not going to be as severe as some people in here make it look to be.

Yes, Albion is going to be more challenging to play. Yes, the endurance issue is there and yes, 9 charge potions would make it a lot more enjoyable. And probably Albion is going to be underpopulated.

But still, a lot of people and guilds prefer a challenge and playing the underdog realm has also its advantages. You will always have enough enemies to fight and you'll always face a challenge. For some, this is actually a really good motivation and a lot of fun.

There will be enough guilds playing Albion, and there will also be enough people to form PuGs and Zergs to take keeps and relics.

Not everything is always as bad as you might think. It's gonna be okay.

It might have been said 19 times before, but i doubt ANY custom changes will be made before the actual server launch.
Getting the server up and running, and running smoothly will be their first priority.
If all that happens, i think they might consider these custom changes that help everyone, like more charges on pots

I wouldn't hold my breath. (not saying never, but we will be very hesitant with introducing custom features again, we have seen in the past how hard, or even impossible it is to get rid of them again)

Well there you go no need for further whine then!

Lets just bask in blissful anticipation of the Dark age of Camelot server we are about to receive!

Hi there,
rather than wondering which realm/class i will play, i would like to get a clear answer regarding family account. i would like to play together with my children same realm, and i can't find the information in the server rules. we would play on different computers, but connected to a single ISP, so could be same IP viewed from Uthgard server.
so, will i be able to play with them or not ?
cheers.

Quick answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Yes, but keep in mind that you can get a test lead by Uth-Staff, so better to not stay long afk on one of accs(better to log one off while being afk if it take long time, just to be safe)

@Jarqo : thanks for your clear answer, that's good to know.
i expect the GM would check for fake-family account. I just need to explain my french boys how to deal with these english inquiries
but finally that's good news.
thanks again.

Hello Uth49,

If you have any issues I will be at hand to help regarding language barriers.
