So I usually log in through DAoC with the automatic character launcher, but I just recently wanted to play Gaheris. As I log in to find the server it only recommends me the servers Ywain1-10. I have to manually go to 'Alternate Servers' to find it. It' not really a problem for me but I can't help to wonder how many newcomers to DAoC will just not know of this server existing anymore, lol.. We're kinda' like ghosts now.

Sup Drblu. I have thought about the same thing. The first time I logged onto Gaheris a few weeks ago I couldn't find it either at first and thought to myself "did Gaheris shut down?". Then I found the drop down menu.
Who are your toons on Gaheris?

Honestly someone should write to appeal to Mythic about this,(Like that'l do anything)because the only way I can think of how this wil effect Gaheris is in a negative way.. Sucks. I mainly play Mattwarrior and Limelight, but I get bored so easily when my options of what toon I can play are so vast :o

Do hafta say that it was very petty and small minded of mythic/ea to pull that crap... I guess I should not have expected more from them...
Sad part is it musta been more a priority than adding realm/server info.. just pathetic..
Buy yerself a decaf coffee and some unbuttered toast Mythic.. you really deserve it..

From Mythic s side I can kind of understand. They don't want new players starting out on what appears to be dead server.
When I first started a couple years ago, I went from 1-50 without ever seeing anyone, but I knew there were people there because of /who. 
They could have at least mentioned Gaheris.

I don't understand it glo, because we are part of the same game and pay the same sub fee.
Besides the game is a mmorpg or at least it used to be. It seems to me EA wants to make daoc another online shooter only with swords and magic. Every step to make pve irrelevant is a step towards the game being an elaborate version of tribes in a fantasy setting (if anyone remembers that game).
I think the most annoying part is they are happy to take our money but act like we aren't as important. They should make a decision and quit riding the fence. Either treat us like all the other paying customers or trim the fat imo.

Very well said, and I agree 100%... Do you think we should band together to try and get -SOMETHING- accomplished?? I'm in.

It's like Pentegarn said really. The only other thing I can think of is to organize a week where people canceled the subs. But since everyone's sub isn't synced and for some people you would have a better chance of asking crackheads to quit smoking for a week, I doubt that will ever happen.
If you have an idea I'm all ears though Matt.

guys, it really is an Alternative server. It was a game made for RvR mostly. It is an Alternative server. It offers something else other than rvr. Not sure why you guys are making this much of a fit over it

it isn't exactly a "Who cares" pile. It only says "Alternative Server". You know, since, it actually IS an Alternative server to the main servers that this game is revolved around  Argue that point all you want, but, it is an alternative server heh

What we're trying to say is that a new player coming to the game will now nothing about the server unless they are weirdly curious or hear it from word of mouth.. The point has been brought up that the population is low, and Mythic doesn't want newcomers to think its a dead game... So theres pros and cons with it I guess

And apparently it is hard to find unless you are looking for it from what I'm seeing here on this thread. If they made it hard to find that sounds like a 'who cares' pile to me, label it whatever you want.

The point is until recently it was listed with the other servers. If it's such a trivial matter then why change it in the first place? Or even better why not change it back? It's not a big deal right?
Oh and btw just because we disagree with your view doesn't mean we don't understand it.

I understand what you are trying to say perfectly well but I make it a point not to agree with stupid points of view. The people of Gaheris are rightly ticked off that their server is being put into the background where it is more likely to go unnoticed possibly leading to an even smaller population. If I still played here I'd be just as pissed as these guys.
You offer absolutely nothing worthwhile to the topic with your inane statement of "Not sure why you guys are making this much of a fit over it". You don't go around trivializing legitimate complaints with crap like that, not if you want your opinion to be worth a damn.
Apparently you are the one having trouble understanding things.

lulz
At this point there are all of two servers: The real one and the alternate one. So why not list them as #1 and #2 instead of #1 and drop down menu which happens to contain only one more server? Forget 'being shoved into a corner' (NOBODY puts Baby in a corner, dammit). It's just plain stupid to have a setup like that.

It does seem like Mythic has gone out of their way to hide the Gaheris (and though it is already dead the Mordred server). All actions have a purpose, and it seems pretty clear that the purpose of this action is to keep new players from knowing the PvE server even exists.

Oh, I defiantly agree, in fact, the past year, I have been cancelling my accounts in protest of some of the things mythic has done.Even if it doesn't do anything, it makes me feel better,lol. I always come back before my houses go poof.

I figured glo, your post just seemed like a good point to segue into what I wanted to say.
I do the same thing.
I gotta say it's amazing how alternative has been interpreted as secondary or less than worthy by EA and the rvr fanboys that think there is nothing else to the game. As far I know it just means another choice neither better or worse, but what do I and every dictionary on earth know?
I'm not badmouthing rvr, but to think that some people "think" rvr was all there ever was or should be in this game is laughable.
I'm guessing they never even saw the game pre ToA or they were one of those people that paid to get 50 and then just lived in the Frontiers (yes I meant to leave out the "new" in NF :P).

What I have never understood is why it is going this way. We already have a (loosely termed) MMO out there where you can go right to endgame pvp, it is called Guild Wars. Why is Mythic trying to clone that game of all things?

I think if you look at who bought out mythic it explains a lot. All EA has known before they bought mythic was sports games and shooters for the most part.
