Dark Age of Camelot

Please, Mythic.  Make it where if I come back and have to reinstall I don't have to setup my shortcut bars again!

Why can't these things be stored server side?  It takes forever and again to set those things up. 

Probably because if they had to store every player's UI setup on their server, they would run out of database space pretty quicklike? How many games do you know that store it server side? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

I can think of 4 off the top of my head.

Everquest 2
World of Warcraft
Guild Wars
DnD Online

I've had to re-install all of those games and didn't have to go through setting up my shortcut bars again.  I can even log onto my characters from someone else's house in those games and jump right into gameplay!

The only thing I had to do was turn the shortcut bars on in the settings (a simple check in a checkbox) and the icons were there just like at home.

DAoC is also pretty damn old where things like that weren't really a foreseeable issue, not to mention hard drives back in the Day were like mega small compared to what we can buy now.   If you want to have them update it go suggest it to them they're still updating the game on occasion.   You really can't compare an old game to a new game.

They've updated their graphics engine, haven't they?  The also updated their interface since release.  So, why can't I compare?

/agree

Having to setup your buttons on each computer you get on is VERY annoying!  This would be a great addition to the game.

All the time you spent bitching in this post you could of set your shortcut bars up again.  Save your config files to a usb drive, don't be lazy.

have you suggested it to mythic yet? if not y are u bitchin on these forums mythic dev's dont come here lol.

If you have asked them, i found that they usually take ideas players suggest into consideration, or atleast they did back when i played. DAoC is old game and i imagine that they dont have alot of dev's left focusing on DAoC since WAR is coming!

but ya anyway e-mail mythic thats ur best bet to get something added/fixed.
