Then you would have pve guys playing the way they want yet still keeping the pvp server pop decent.

Eve does this and has a very nice population numbers wise. It would have 20k people playing without empire space.

This would be better then a completely new server imo. They should work with what they got, instead of splitting up the population.

I would really like to see how this pans out..

Wouldn't be to bad imo, there is alot of stuff they will have to work around to get this to work.

I still think they should stop worrying about other junk and start working on some type of anti-hack for their game.

Couldn't seem to find a website for the game, but the read was very interesting. Cant wait to see how this bad boy plays out. Going to be a premium f2p mmo.

In legends of kesmai, there are some players with 2000+ playhours that have not achieved max skill rank or level exp. But it has been done in around 1000hrs before. Actually only two players at this moment have achieved max level exp, games been going strong for about 6years. I got about 600hrs of gameplay on my thaum and he is level 20 exp/17 magic/13staff

Max exp lvl= 23

Max Skill lvl= 19

Overall I love legends of kesmai's exp/skill system, been playing the game for about half my life.

Here is my rant about alganon.

Install went very smooth and fast, I think I was downloading at about 1-1.5mb per sec. When starting the client it takes forever for some of the textures to load, such as small trees and shrubs which is wierd cause I have a great computer. Logging in seems to take about 3-5minutes for me, I can create a character but after I hit play It says connecting to the world for about 3minutes and says you have been disconnected from the server. Thats as far as I have gotten.

I was going to fire up my old account last night, but said screw it. I will just run a free trial. I played at 10pm central and the all the servers were normal but the pvp server.

The trial island was packed full of people at that time, im kinda debating on firing up my old account. But my concerns depend on performance in areas other then the trial island

For example, there is some group dungeon called something keep I could always get a group for it with my 28 paladin but everytime I would get near the entrance to the keep my computer would just crap out. There was alot of places like that in vg and I have upgraded my computer since, so really hoping all those problems are gone before starting up my old account.

Has there been any performance patches lately?

Hello, does anyone have a spare recruit-a-friend invite? Im going to open my account up for sure, but the way I see it, both of us can get 30 free days and you get a mount? Sounds like a good deal to me, anyways if anyone has a spare friend invite please pm with instructions or whatever, thanks ahead of time!

This is one of the reasons I quit playing darkfall.  I will never play a MMO again where I can only have one character per account.

DAOC has been a major blast and been some crazy ass fights since this server merge...there are tons of rvring going on. Mid just took str relic last night and alb runs a zerg of almost 200 but mid is getting very organized thanks to some great leadership. There are guilds recruitng and the ML and champ level stuff is easy to get. I took a toon that had some crapy gear from like when toa just released to fully templated with 5 artis and 10 all champ levels done and all ml's in about 3-4 days and am having a ball :) 

There is alot of guilds recruting and ofcourse you still have the 8 manners and stuff but the thing is there is so many people on Ywain that you can find a guild for whatever you wanna do. If you are even considering a daoc return the time is now its fun right now! this is the first time i have even been on forums in about 2 weeks because I am actually playing a MMO haha :)

I have to agree with beeker.

I just resubbed after about 3years or so. Last time I played was before ToA. DAoC has changed so much since then its not even funny. Kinda feels like a huge sandbox to me now instead of the huge grindfest it used to be. Can create a character, lvl him to 50 in 2-3days, maybe sooner if you got some powerleveler.

One thing I kinda enjoyed was the starter archetypes was removed, so you pretty much start off bad ass right off the bat. Back in the day I  remember 1-5 being kinda tough, if you didnt have anyone to twink or bot/pl. 1-8 goes in about 30minutes these days.

Bounty points actually mean something now hehe. When I played I dont think you could do anything with the bp's, maybe im wrong. But if there was it wasn't all that great. Now you can buy ML's/Arti's/House stuff, alot of stuff really.

I had been debating on resubbing for a couple months, one day I saw a new server appear on the herald, Ywain. And I saw there was like 4k people playing. Compared to the old 1k across all servers (which was holding me back). But Im really glad I went back to Daoc, Dunno if im gonna fire up all my accounts but i got 3 running now.

Hope to see you in game....Midgard rules

The hacks in darkfall are abundant, that is the reason I dont play anymore. Well that and the company behind darkfall.

They left tons and tons of exploitable mobs in the games for quite awhile. They actually just removed some, but not all of them. With the uber skill gain patch. When I say exploitable, I meant to say the mobs just stand still and let you kill them at will. Sometimes you didn't have to do anything, the mobs killed each other. I could name 6 exploitable camps off, just on the rubi island. Only 2 of those remain, but the fact is they still remain. They didn't actually fix the spawn camp, they just removed it. So they left those camps up for how many months on the EU server and over a month in NA server. Just to remove them hehe...

Grrrreat game with tons of potential. Sadly a terrible company is running the show.

Wow I dont care if aion lives or dies, but the fanbois for this game is freaking funny LOL!

I enjoyed Darkfall for the 1st free month, but after that the whole game just started becoming overburden.

But I was really enjoying the game until I kept seeing hackers, one after another. My first incident was just outside Mar Shral, we was chasing  a group of 3. We ended up killing one, while the other 2 was running faster on feet then we was on battlehorns. To top if off the guy, I think his name was Pain Train (lol) was casting mana to stamina (as if he was even loosing stamina from running faster then our mounts).

After that I decided to talk to my sg about the rampant hackers in darkfall, come to find out he even hacked. The way he did, he had 3 accounts. 1 account was legit (only using radar and stamina hack), 2nd account he used to farm gold/regs/chests (he used all the bad boy hacks on this account such as teleport, flying, stick to peoples back, speed, all of it...) And his 3rd account he used to go invisible and just teleport around peoples cities looking for easy people to gank. He said he usally made around 150k gold a day using his 2nd account, funny part was he did it to sell for real life money..

We was on our own island, not going to say which. But I can tell you that 1/2 of our alliance used hacks. When I would go to stop by a alliance city to get me some battlehorns made, You could hear people macroing inside the walls, even underground in some cases.

So needless to say, I enjoyed somewhat of darkfall, Specially the newbie stage. But after awhile, the hacks just became to much. We would have people fly into our city, try to attack someone crafting, then just disappear, and they didn't mind disapearing right before our eyes lol. Darkfall could have been a great game, but the company running the show are slackers. Plain and simple..

very long tutorial

Im pissed cause they took away all my good bugged spawn camps.

The manscorpians, the chosen of khamsets, the bone exarch.... No......!!!!

Was lots of fun while they lasted.

Just read the 35 pages and wow! The game sure looks promising. Most of the feedbacks are positive, something you rarely see on this website.

Do they still open up their registration page or have they switched to invite only mode (which pretty much obliges me to ask for one) ?

Either way, I'll keep checking the registration page. I'd appreciate any invite though, if possible. lougarou@mmorpg.com. Thanks in advance.

Just keep checking in on the registration page. They havn't moved to a invite only mode. They open it up on the hours. check around 5:00pm 7:00pm, on the hours. Thats usally when they open the doors.

I got in at 6:01pm, and 3 of my friends got in at 5:01pm. I have also saw it open up at 2:00pm and earlier, but its usally always on the hour.

edit : thats in Central time

yeah I believe so, the developer said earlier that after he patched a huge content patch there was a bug. Also said that he is working on fixing it.

Hello, I would really enjoy giving AoC a go. If anyone has a spaire key please send it my way thanks ahead of time!

If your a old-school UO fan, that enjoyed its entire skill/stat based leveling system and enjoy a truely sandbox game, where you the player can add realms (your own lands you create with a editor) and make a true impact on the game itself. Link realms is probablly what you have been looking for. Graphics are quite amazing for 2d game by a indie company.

Rumor has it, when the tutorial is finished they are going to be having open beta soon after. Try checking on the hours around 5:00-7:00 pm central time. Thats when I got in.. right at 6:01pm central. There seems to be a trend of it always opening up on the hour, for minutes at a time.

Pretty sure the dev's said you can macro but dont do it near the guard towers and starter towns. Also that it would lead into being booted and if you get caught alot macroing in safe areas you will be banned.

"To address an issue reported by players: We generally frown on unattended macroing and if you use macros you do so at your own risk, but it should be mentioned that spamming spells and any macroing WITHIN the protective radius of the guard towers in the starting areas will result in a kick, and repeated offenses could result in a ban."
