Sup Albs! Long time daoc player here, commin back to the game. Cant tell you how excited i was to find a 'clasic' non-buff-bot server runnin OF here! Gonna be rollin my Thergi soon (DL @ 73% atm). Hope to see you in-game. Any solid leveling guilds out there?

Had:
50 Bard 7L6 Mord
50 Air/Ice Thergi 6L3 Mord
50 Merc 4L3 Kay
50 Cleric Bot Kay
50 Mana Chanter 5L7 Pel
50 Light Eld 3L? Pel
50 Shade 3L? Pel
50 Druid Bot Pel

just go out n kill..like in the good old times.
maybe someone drops you a theurgstaff (think of no si, classic lands or of for xping. df exists,no of-dungeons etc.)

Don't get discouraged if you can't always find a group, especially at lower levels. I got groups, but only on a truly consistent basis once I hit around 40. It seems to be getting better now though.

not too worried about it tbh... frankly thats why i chose thergi-alb over hibby-bard. I couldn't immagine lvlin a bard w/o consistent groups. In any event, Im US, EST. Lookin forward to seein ya'll out there.

Any idea what an average /played looks like for a brand new 50? Just tryin to guesstimate how much time I gotta put in pre-fun?

can differ from 2 weeks to 2 monthes depending on the hardboneness of the player

A firend of mine just leveled his theurg with ice/earth spec in less than a week to lvl 40 solo, so two weeks doesnt sound that unrealistic id guess.

right on! thats always good to hear. Out of curiosity, I've been browsing these forums for a few days (DL rate here is like 23Kb/sec so it took forever) and I haven't found this yet...

Just curious if there was a Uthgard-specific loot table anywhere? Would be uber-helpful to know what my options were as far as drops go for templating as well as what loot from live made it here and what didn't. Anything like that in existance at this point?

No, and there will never be one, but a few players have a zip file with the item database info but it is not allowed on the forums

you'll pretty much figure out the items you want/need by the time you hit 50. as for the early levels, just use DF sets or get someone to craft you a suit.

some items you can see at the auctioneer often..bc they are worth a bit gold and many ppl sell em ,) (look at camelot, big marketplace at the fountain)

Welcome!

on items: expect all loot to drop which is pre 1.80 and not SI + some added stuff from tajendi (look it up in the forum, if u dont already know what tajendi is) + megalodon drops are split on glacier giant, green knight and the other OF-Bossmob.

another thing: get the craft fix.

Now have fun and suffer cause you didnt choose midside

So, in attempt to be civil, I'm avoiding my gut-reaction-response to that rule in order that I might be afforded the opportunity to ask why?

seems kinda.... silly.

imho.

people here are generally addicted to the nostalgic feeling of the way things were before you knew everything about a videogame and get jaded, etc

to the "mystery," of DAOC, in a sense. that would be my guess.

LUCKILY, you do not seem to need such omniscient knowledge to prepare and execute strong templates or play uthgard competitively, so it is sort of a null point.

in other news, rep mordred love

plus, u may find many temps at the alb-forums (albion.iphpbb.com) of uthgard. and many more stuff there (dragon+legionraids sometimes, guilds etc)

goooootchya. well, in that case, right on. I do have to admit, i never thought of it till now, but i suppose one of the things i enjoyed about daoc was a sense of 'maybe im the only one who's been here' as opposed to the over-run-carnival feeling WoW had.

Good point. As for templates, I guess i might as well start askin now... I can build my own temp, but I could use a few ideas for what extra (jewelry) type pieces I should shoot for and where to get em... any ideas?
