Because this is the best game of all time. It is strange, if one looks at almost any specific detail one may easily find a game which surpasses it, but DAoC's very special amalgam is nothing less than a work of artistic genius. Nothing has ever captivated me quite like it.

I'm also sure Uthgard 2 will be a success. The server has been down for almost a year now, and yet hundreds check the website every day for updates on their favourite game. The forums are still active although there is nothing to talk about. I see the constant bickering about the (lack of) frequency of updates not as a tedium, but as a testimony to the tenacity of the playerbase, which is united in its loyalty, its vision and eagerness to play, even if they express it in different ways.

Before too long, weapon- and armourless hordes will be rampaging through the starting zones on release day, just as they did 13 years ago. Then we shall see that the long wait was not in vain and the devs will know that the countless hours of work were worth it, as the server groans under the weight of an unprecedented number of players. The naysayers of the past will fall silent, at least for a short while, privately relieved that they were proven so wrong. And for one brief moment, all will be enraptured in nostalgic bliss.

This is something worth thinking, even if i dont know how DOL Project have gone far since couple of years that i don't follow them..

I agree, when a rough release date is known the staff and community should make commercials about the relaunch.

It'd give us time to start leveling characters/crafters and we'd all still be on an even playing field at the start with no custom items in the community.
