Probably not. I regret not playing the original in its heyday, but I don't believe a sequel would do it justice. Not they way things are going right now in the genre and the current community, in my opinion.

I could see Cryptic wanting to pick this up though, after reading the poll results. People will buy anything these days, which I believe is a major contributor the corruption of today's MMORPGs.

I would finance it if i could!

No Mythic won't be making another mmo after the failure that is war.

YES!

WAR isn`t a FAILURE... failure is an exagerated word to qualify WAR...

PvE is nice, leveling and scenarios are nice... Players were the biggest whiner I ever saw but... they were still nice ;) ...

Ex : Whining about that CC spell that stay on 3 sec... saying it's too long... ONLY 3SEC!!!  I played daoc with mezz that stay on for more than 1 minutes and I LOVED IT lol anyway...

Keeps... no let`s say RvR wasn't comparable to daoc... RvR was too much predictable... with only 2 factions you can't call that RvR... they messed up with that, balance and all the guild stuff (a fight 200vs200, face to face on a bridge for 30 minutes is no fun at all...)

It have many negative points, but it`s not a failure ;)

And note that WAR wasn't their little MMO... GameWorkshop was right behind them, slapping their finger for every inch of innovation they were trying to include in it...

If DAOC2 come, I'll be back in it, and that's for sure :)

sry for bad english

hell yeah, daoc is one game i really regret not playing.

I would play it if it was three factions. I like WAR but with two factions, it was just trading keeps. Throw that 3rd faction in there and it can get very interesting since you have to watch out for two enemies.

The other requirement is that Mythic needs to learn that "Crowd control makes not PVP".

I would but how about give us the original DAOC with 2011 graphics. Just give the game some minor tweaks and give us better graphics.

Uhm, one thing actually makes WAR a failure: Mythic ambition were to get at least 2 million players (source: MJ and Barnett). So 100K subs (give or take some) is not enough, particularly since they said they needed 250K players to get back the money they put into the game. Of course they fired a lot of people since then so it is probably 200K people.

But look on the size of Mythics crew before launch and now, it is just a fraction of what they had before, and that is a failure to me at least.

That doesn't mean that people can not enjoy the game but I am pretty sure that most people on Mythic (and who used to work there) wishes they did another game instead. You don't fire over 75% of your company and calls it a success. 

As for DaoC 2, it would be nice if they made it, but they hopefully can borrow some programmers from Bioware then, coding never been Mythics strong side.

To use the same engine as TOR for DaoC 2 instead of WARs actually makes sense and is a good idea. I might play DaoC 2 if they make it well.

Lol, that is a lot of work. It is easier to just remake the game with WARs or TORs engine than to update the original one.

And if you are to remake the game it makes sense to add some stuff and take away things that doesn't work so good.

Exactly! They tryed to shoot too many bird with one stone... with the result you all know today...

I would like to see a DAOC2 exactly as it is today, with a new UI and graphics.  It's already "balanced" (pls note "" and italic lol), classes are great, many zones to explore, RvR is great too... :) And yes TOA was hard to accept... but now it's much better ... except for the artifact leveling part (just gimme a lvl10 arti damn!t ;) )...

Edit: And I just stunned to see this game classed in the top 10 released games of this site... before WoW and so many others...

 WAR's engine is graphiclly horrific. I would rather see them use TOR's engine instead.

I normally don't buy long subscriptions to MMORPGS. I usually go month to month, but if DAoC came out with an updated version or DAoC 2, I would buy a year subscription.  I hope some developers are reading this thread...

Hell yes! Bring on DAoC 2. Dark age of camelot was a pioneer in the MMORPG genre and I'd be excited to see how DAoC 2 would turn out.

Why talk about something that won't happen. There's not enough people that would play it. They lost so much money and people :( And their track record is awful. So anything they come out with will be very dated.

Dated or not, I think it would be different from what we see these days.

I remember when I bought the game and it came with a hard-copy map and you had to try to navigate in-game by using that. Things have changed so much in this genre since then. It kinda makes me sad sometimes.

I think if you actually made a game challenging like DAoC was originally, you will get dedicated hardcore players.  Eve is similar, it's not some game that you power-level, buy in-game money as easily, because of that there is a much more mature base of players.  

DAoC was like that when I played before all of the expansions came out and since then MMORPGs got easier and easier which brought the family into the game.  I think if DAoC made a comeback it would bring the hardcore pvpers again from all of the other mmorpgs out right now. 

I Hope every day that their will be news for DAOC 2. they need too scrap out warhammer and let us have what we have wanted in the first place!!   COME ON INFILTRATOR!!!!!

I would definitly try it since it was the best mmorpg i played. It's up there with ultima online.
