[3:10pm] <myrmidon^> You have to be a c*** to be awesome at daoc [3:10pm] <myrmidon^> that's what I learnt [3:11pm] <Frosty_> then why does austerim suck lordgriffon wrote:Oh by the way... ever seen a group of 8 smite clerics? Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

Uthgard, still the best server. Thanks, Devs.

Suppose That kill a 3L = 1k and kill a 10L = 3k (for example) ... if I have to fight against RR my humor can be different instead "wft I am dead" or "wft elite players". Think about it, good rewards for high RR kills can change the RVR. It's already that way (not as high as you suggest, but still a significant difference). Also, before the server was taken down, they had recently made it where you get lower reward for killing lower RR people if you are higher than them. True, but +400 RP as reward for killing an High RR is a joke :-/

I think this speaks to the sort of community Uthgard was able to build over the years (even if the interaction between the community and the developers tended to be a bit non-existant at times). But in all honesty, it's been over 1.5 years since the server went away, with not a whole lot of communication and even less signs of real progress towards re-opening it. My hope is that people will have moved on by now, it's not good to hang on too long - many fun games or non-gaming related things out there waiting for attention If Genesis is any indication, then the "customer" base for a classic DAoC shard is not exactly growing - even when factoring in the teething problems they had in the beginning. A lot of Uthgard's player numbers came from "investment" of some sort - mostly emotional (friends, guilds, characters, realm ranks) - that has mostly been destroyed. So I doubt that they'll be able to lure all that many people back if they should 'ever' reopen. Many won't bother to return (moved on, not interested in starting from scratch, etc), some will stay on Genesis, the rest will have to face a fresh but mostly empty Uthgard. That being said, I'll probably check back in every now and then just to see what's up.

Totally true: that's why a lot of players are not so interested in the "accuracy" of the server, just open it and evolve it with patch like all games. After all discussions and ideas, I am afraid that Uthgard won't open.

Genesis has started to beg for donations so I don't see them lasting too much longer.

Scalado Myrmidon Posts: 80 Joined: Jul 12, 2010 00:00	by Scalado » Jul 17, 2015 10:24 There really is nothing to talk about until Uthgard beta starts, so I recommend to anyone waiting for Uthgard just to play somewhere else for the time being. I think it's just less frustrating that way, at least for me. The loyalty of this community is exemplary, but one has to counterbalance it to preserve one's sanity. Checking every day for news, as I had done for over a year, is simply an exercise in masochism. Even the Grab Bags don't help much without an ETA. Meanwhile, Lethantis really deserves more attention. Obviously they aren't at a stage of perfection that Uthgard once possessed, but it isn't Genesis either. These people are dedicated, communicative and efficient. The speed of development is truly astounding. While you're waiting, give it a shot.
