also i really hope that we wont see any CAMP or GRP bonus on xp! as it was back in the days ^^


1 year to 50? no problem i need a half!

I'm pretty sure there was camp and group bonus with 1.65 and far before that.

Yet another claim by the all knowing relvinian....

Hey genius, there were no starter quests at patch 1.65.

I'm sorry can you please use smaller words, I cannot understand what you are saying.

There should be tasks, since those were in since the beginning. They're even mentioned in the 1.35 release notes: "Pets now should trigger task kills on task monsters when striking the killing blow."

You guys are getting a bit too much nostalgic about "slow xp is the key" ...
Someone had to say it

Slower xp than genesis it's fine (btw, i guess the same goes for RPs.. genesis is a rp fest lol), but don't exaggerate with it... unless you are a solo-pve player... then i understand such need.

I agree with Caemma, I'm not a student anymore and now I have 2 sons (4 and 0) ... the free time to play is not so much ... I want to go in rvr with my mins before becoming too old to keep a mouse in hand

that would be horrible, imho the DAoC kick comes exactly from the feeling to actually having to make some effort to get somewhere, whether its PvE or RvR
you need good PvE to keep the economy running, get new players interested and create some kind of community feeling... otherwise the server will end up like many i50 or "xp-optimized" servers...they die, people loose interest after a while
liking one aspect of the game more than the other is no reason to actually change the game to fit your preferences.... this is exactly what is happening with other freeshards and makes these way less attractive than Uthgard

cheers

I prefer fast xp. Less time in pve, and more time in rvr. Let players who want rvr, level fast. Pvers will do pve with fast or slow xp.

Not even one pve player would choose the slow mode in a 100% grinding game

meanwhile that L-pvp-shard is alot of fun

Actual game mechanics have so many bugs though.

I'm looking forward to those fast level people, that will then ask a crafter for lvl 50 gear + SC + Alchemy, and please, not more expensive than the 2 or 3 platinum I've collected while power leveling to get to RVR, for the whole set of course. And please, my dear crafters, be legendary as soon as the first power level guys hit lvl 50, which is ... well, maybe a week post release. Hurry! (But ... but ... where to take the money from?) As soon as I'm ready again with my army of crafters, I will support of course, but this may take a year for me. As usual, but it's fun.


Just take it slow, enjoy the game. It will take quite some time until you are all back to where you were when Uthgard closed down. I've been through these times once already, back then when Uthgard started. Was a nice time.


Totally unrelated:

I took my next 7 days of free live server experience yesterday, made a cleric and a mercenary, skipped the starting village completely and jumped into camelot hills, just to be disappointed: Wow, they changed A LOT! ... but well, now both are already lvl 24, just going the classic route of Cam Hills - Mithra - a bit of Plains - Keltoi. Those 100% quality drops in dungeons help a lot though, and more than cap exp for a red mob due to very high camp bonus and bonus for even leveling in those old zones (while having two chars in group) ... well, it won't be that way on Uthgard for sure. But it's a nice nostalgic experience. And don't try to find a group, somehow most just want to rush the quests and get on (one of those for Keltoi gave me 1.8 levels (yes, almost 2) on lvl 21, while it's a level 18 quest (full grp required though if lvl 18) ... geez. But it's required for live now due to relatively low pop.

Really hoping for Uthgard to be back online soon. =)

Some of you guys yelled for that mega hardcore classic pve server without benefits and no customize... now deal with the dark aspects of your wish,- the devil listened to it and you´ll get the consequences . I feel pretty that some of these hardcore rvr players that wanted it as classic and livelike as possible and hate the pve part will suffer until they get into rvr. I hope it will be 1.65 livelike, I remember it took nearly about half a year until I got my first 50 char in these days
