This isn´t a live server. Their server, their setting. I feel sorry for you that you think changing realms all the time is the real DAoC experience. But it seems you´re only thinking about yourself, not about the long-term consequences for the server population, rvr action and economy. If you can switch all the time without disadvantages, there´s a high probability you will always choose the option with the highest benefit for you.

This so called "realmpride" is the base of a healthy community in this game. X-realming destroys it. Why DAoC has3 realms instead of 2? Because of a self-regulating balancing possibility by a 3. realm/party. There is always a option to choose a different realm, if you really want to switch the realm. (delete your toons or wait)

P.S.: DAoC isn´t a fast food MMO like the others nowadays.

isn't it exactly the other way round? let people decide if they go realmpride or not?
what you do is the diametral opposite of what you say. you force people to a certain kind of playstyle.

Being forced into 1 realm doesn't prevent you from playing an 8v8 pro style of play where you don't care about relics, don't add every fight, etc. And you can change realm every single week if you want to, we haven't forced you into 1 realm forever.

damn you and your valid points.

you do not need to feel sorry for me. and i didnt imply i have to change "all the time" i want to have the option like the game offered EVER. yes this is uthgard smartass and they stated they want to get as close as possible to 1.65. it seems you only think about yourself and not longterm consequences. uthgard wants to live(im so free to say that) and those rules make it harder esp since this game and community is 15 years old. you cannot tell me that soloplayer wont find friends he knew from old times and wouldnt want to play with them a few just for the fun even without changing the realm permanently, to you last point whats highest benefit in your eyes? my pov is having enough enemys, your is probably different. not judging just saying this isnt any argument at all.

this realmpride isnt the base of a community, its the base of lobbyism. what if i told you i always did respect my enemys more then my realm. yea ofc im gonna delete my hardly leveled toons and rps to play a few min with a friend *irony*

Back in the days of Uth 1.0, I, like many, had 3 accounts and could easily switch between realms. I think the Uthgard staff is absolulely right to make that much more difficult this time around. I'll be totally focused on Midgard this time.

I remember many relic raid attempts failing because half the participants would flee to the defending realm to get some easy RPs from defending the relic keeps, sad times. I'm quite happy about the rule.

but..... but.... you dont have to delete your hardly leveled toons
i personally really like the setting where u cant just realmhop or play whenever your realm is strongest, rather trying to get your relics back n stuff but i think thats really a subjective thing so, well, sucks for you i guess and i dont mean this as an insult, i really mean it. must suck but maybe there can be made compromises with your friends like setting a date to level and switch on the crossrealm timer so it fits said date or something? i dunno man but i think if u really wanna play on uthgard you and all of us can make it work

So is the DAoC portal obsolete now with the Uthgard launcher?
MIDGARD for the win!

The DAoC Portal will NOT work with Uth 2.0.

The patched client looks... interesting.
