I plan to invite some friends over to a lan party the day Uthgard-beta launches. We properly be 3-5 people on same IP.
Will that many accounts being able to be created+linked(if needed) ON the day of the launch? |
|
Last time we did that, we could all just log in with the same IP. Not sure if there are any plans to change that
|
|
DAoC Lanparties are the best! I remember back in 2002 when my friends always used to come over when my parents were gone over the weekend, gaming DAoC all weekend long  |
|
No one should be kept from creating or playing from an account just because you share IP. However as some have already said, if you look like you could be one person, we might check up on you to make sure that you are more than one person. And therefore we suggest that long periods of AFK in lan parties etc, is kept to a minimum as that could make it hard for us to see that you are in fact multiple people.

When it comes to "custom" stuff on the server, nobody is talking about having Tajendi coming back. Custom things like that should never see the light of day.
On the other hand, custom things that simply improve the quality of life, or ease of use, in the game, should be considered. There are already custom things about the server, like no buff bots. Remember when arrows used to way a ton and archers were told either go back and buy more or make them in the field because someone thought it should be more realistic. Yeah, that was annoying and so arrows were made much lighter, allowing players to focus on playing the game rather than managing their inventory. Fun should trump reality. So, when it comes to potions, it has returned to managing your inventory rather than focusing on the gameplay. I have my theories as to why it was removed (as I don't believe the stated reasons), but I don't want to post it. So, custom items and custom RAs should really be limited because they directly affect the game. Custom things that just make it easier to focus on playing rather than managing inventory should be considered. Patch level 1.65 was "more balanced" i suppose, but don't make it out like it was perfect or anything. |

Well then people cannot get mad at people for "adding" when all they are doing is "red is dead" and killing everyone they see. |
|
Thanks for the clear answer and im pretty sure that it is hard to have a line of custom changes that destroy the gameplay and balance between a custom change that is only changing quality of life and not touching the balance. I really hope GM's will make right decisions. |
|
Just my fiffy cent on the pots... I agree 100% that no custom changes should occur, but very small quality of life changes are ok :- ) Playing hib btw. not alb.
|
|
It really doesnt matter which realm either we or anyone else will play.
I'm 100% against any Custom Changes that can destroy gameplay. I'm just advising a little quality of life changes which will not touch balance and that will make everyone happy and play longer. |
|
Did my post say that we should exclude those things? No, then I guess there was no reason for that whiny reply. What I am saying is, you small man and 8x8's seem to think the server should be catered to your play style and that is just wrong. I used to love that style of PvP, still do but I won't group with people that feel the need to hide in the portal keep until they have all RA's ready to use. Cooldown's can be irritating but they only become a problem when you make them a problem. |

+1 I'm not saying add any custom features. Now, we all know adding in fights is lame (due to low population, you want each fight you encounter to count). But that was a LARGE part of the old daoc back in the day. "red is dead" From what I remember adding did not really bother me that much. Due to the fact that - who cared because another alb or hib was just around the corner getting ready to taste that sweet sweet emain soil. Adding was not as large of a problem all those years ago because there was enough action to compensate. Now we find ourselves in a different environment with less action. NOW adding is more apparent. New factors bring new outcomes/problems. To combat this issue changes need to be made. THUS Custom crap. I personally don't care one way or the other. But These are the conflicts we face. In order to understand the problem as a whole you have cast a level 1000 Aura of Flipp'n Logic. So that yourself and those around you can see clearly.  |

You are wrong. No matter how tiny the change, you WILL get someone upset! The problem is: where do you draw the line? How do you define what is a minor change that won't destroy gameplay and what is not? And how do others define that? I'm 100% sure you can't get everyone to agree to a specific custom change. Potions with 9 charges are no big deal you say? So why not have horse routes to emain for hibs because they have to waste so much time running to emain and it's just a nuisance and not relevant for gameplay... It takes AGES to level to 50 on a classic setting, lets increase xp rates for everyone since it doesn't affect RvR at all and just makes everyones lifes easier... And then lets have instant ports to emain so we don't have to wait so long on the plate. Again, not relevant for gameplay, but still it changes a lot about the overall gameplay experience. That is exactly the reason why a definitive patch level and a strict enforcement is so important. So for the love of god, please, just shut up and stop asking for custom changes. (Not just referring to you) If it really is so devastating, just suck it up like a man or go play somewhere else! Kaasi - Shaman
