Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.

I have this huge system sitting here (was built to make AoC fly when my old system couldnt handle it..) waiting for anything worth a damn to come out so i can use it again. is anyone playing ANYTHING worth a damn?? KOTOR online looks like the next thing to try - but of course, like everything else, im sure it will disappoint....
Anyone playing anything?

Yeh, a nightshade as a first toon is going to be rough.
I started with a shaman (lev 50 w/800+ in SC) to meet people since it is easy to get groups as a buffer, then an SM (lev 46 w/1k+ in tailor) to start farming mobs for cash and drops to trinket, then several others of various levels to cover all the other crafting lines (800+ WC, 800+ AC, 600+ alch, and 600+ fletch). That has taken 3 months of just casual play, but I've essentially been self-sufficient and have met enough people to do some raids.

There are a few differences on Uthgard from old DAoC, but for the most part it is 2002 DAoC (pre-SI, pre-ToA, pre-NF)!
You'll notice that some of the frontier mobs have been moved around or removed entirely, there are no doors on the old mile-gates, and there is a new zone called Tajendi that they invented for over questing over level 40. Tajendi is really cool if you are a fan of SG-1, but mostly it's just a zone that has a few drops and some puzzles to solve so you can skip it if you don't care. There is a Tajendi patch to install before you can actually enter that zone (Uthgard forum has links).
The epic quests have been removed as a long serious of quests and replaced with a couple of useful low level quests that mirror the old epic low level ones, then there are no more epic quests until level 50. That last epic quest is similar to the old last epic quest in that you go kill a mob, report back to an NPC and you get your epic gear. There are some new quests for low level people but about level 15 or so there are only the old quests to do and some of those have been removed.
Some of the crafting stuff is bogus since those new rams and things from NF do not apply, but alchemy now has the bottles (10 pots) and barrels (100 pots) to make carrying potions around easier. There is an Uthgard-specific patch to clean up some of it, so if you're going to do any crafting then install the patch (Uthgard forum has links).
The battlegrounds from NF have kind of been adopted, but very poorly imo. There are only three BG's (Wilton: lev 20-35, Braemar: lev 36-43, and Thidranki: lev 44-49). They really should have broken Wilton into three parts because going in there at level 20 is just dumb, and most people wait until mid 30's.
There are a lot more Europeans than Americans that play, but I've not had any trouble finding someone to group with if I needed to despite the time differences. For me, population level feels a lot like old Gawaine (hits 1k nearly every day), though the RvR action is at its highest during my daytime and really early evening. There is RvR going on in my late evenings when I can actually play, but usually it's the leftover stuff (killing odds and ends, re-taking keeps, opening/cleaning DF, etc.) So RvR for me tends to be more of a weekend thing. Relics move around quite often. Currently Hib has all six, but prior to that Hib/Mid shared three each, and prior to that Mid had all six. Alb has gotten a relic here and there, but I've not seen Alb with more than two at a time. It has been a lot of movement in the three months that I've been there. The '/who' command shows you the number in your realm and the number on the server. In Mid it seems to be about 1/3 nearly all the time, but I don't know about Hib or Alb. There has been a resurgence of Hib in the last couple of weeks so there may be more of them than Alb right now, but since you can make separate accounts and play the other realms, it does not really matter much. Some of my Swedish guildies are taking a break from Mid and playing Alb right now.
Mostly, if you are digging it and excited then you are in the right place. Since it's free I have no problem not playing if I'm not in the mood.

Man you guys make me want to play again but I just dont have the time like I used too 
Edit: And I know the answer probally will be no. But can we play vampiir's on Uthgard? That was probally the only class I liked better then my druid.

I believe so. I made an Animist, Zakey, there yesterday...chatted with Cadinsor for a bit. I actually got a little goose pimply hearing the load music. Think original DAoC but with Darkness Rising and LoTM graphics.

If I'm reading right, might be able to create the classes, but, you have to install a mod to RvR, which cuts out the new ones.
Of course, I'm probably totally wrong as I'm still trying to figure this out.

DAOC was FUN prior to TOA imo...
Horund, Robinho, myself, a chanter who's name escapes me, and a bard bot used to roll through alb land taking keeps and raising general hell in the evenings back in the day. LOADS of fun. Their was only ONE alb guild that ever defended their realm. Can't remember the name, though it was "something" highlanders. Good fights. Lots of respect for those players.
Good times.
/salute horundik!

You can't play Vamps on Uthgard. All of the classes post TOA afaik arent avaiable. (Warlock, valk, vamp, banshee, heretic, necro, mauler, etc)
I just got the itch and rolled on Hib. Nostalgia city.

They were a cool guild.. my guild on Hib Gawaine was about their size and we often sought them out for guild on guild RVR. If we owned a keep, we knew they would be coming and vice versa.. good times.
