I'm going to follow your advice. I'm going to let my EQ accounts lapse, but if DAoC ends up sucking, I'm coming back to well equiped characters. |

This could definitely be a problem. Mythic is counting on things balancing themselves out. |

I have heard that they will have 24/7 in game GM support by PAID EMPLOYEES. I don't think they plan on having any kind of volunteer gms like EQ had. Also, phone support will be 24/7.

In DAoC, if you drop something on the ground, only you can pick it up. Others can see and target it. This is how repairing is done. You drop the item, the player with the repair skill targets it and repairs it, but he can't pick it up. Items on the ground will decay similar to EQ. I don't know the t |

...these sell for 800pp. Platinum for 400pp, Silver for 200pp. Usually if you buy a couple of jasper +wis rings, they'll give you a package deal. The rings just have the +wis bonus and a pair goes for as much as the corresponding veil.

I think the big difference is no zones. Image Antonica with no zone boundries at all. Would it still take 35 min to walk from Freeport to the Arena? Probably not. Most of the original EQ zones weren't that big. |

WTF are you talking about? No one buys anything off merchants in EQ except food and gems. Their prices make no sense. How can someone pay you 10 plat for something and turn around and sell it for 150pp. Even Bill Gates isn't that dishonest. Plus, you can't even see everything in their inventories. |

As a former Asheron's Call player, I am really looking forward to a game world that has been created with balance in mind. AC, like other games of it's nature, have major problems with balance.

True EQ has eliminated the crowd counts on each server but 1 way to tell for sure is when the connection gets better like it does during the late AM hours during the peak playing times..That in it self will tell you people have left EQ and gone to DAoC. |

I think its great that Mythic has started out with a game that is not as big and complex as EQ. That way people who has just started get the feeling that they "know" most equipment, spells etc. and the same thing goes for areas. With not as many areas to begin with, its easier to explore the land ar |

I also believe Mythic is doing the right thing by not flooding the game with all the possible depth it can have at it's release. Keep in mind that there are going to be updates to the game, new dungeons, cities, weapons, and bug fixes. Die-hard EQ players are whining that when they reach level 55, |

Is it me or don't you wish they had kept the names Heart and Soul rather than the mechanical feeling Blade of Tactics, Blade of Strategy, Jagged Blade of War. Or if they named them something more dynamic like Rage and Fury.
Blade of Tactics, Blade of Strategy - sounds like it was named by Lawy |

A very nice post about the game - thanks!
Having played EQ (rathe) from the beginning I can say there is one key difference missed between DAOC and EQ.
EQ's dream is theirs - DAOC is ours.

From the beginning I felt very disconnected from the EQ developers |

Does anybody know how Mythic plans on addressing multiple account holders? I know that there are quite a few in EQ who mainly have the accounts to provide themselves services, twinking, rezing, porting, camping and such.
But multiple accounts in a PvP environment, particularly one such as this, |
