[VN Boards Archive]

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.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Is for DAOC to go Free To Play (retaining a subscription option for those who enjoy paying and not having to worry about grinding free to play crap). This should have been done 3 or 4 years ago, but, whatever. They could at least run one free to play server. There are many ways it could work... For one, make all of the non-special-drop crafting materials "buy with real money"... implement a crafting system that allows people to level up without having to pay a million dollars, though. This would make it so that in order to have a properly templated toon, you'd have to shell out some cash. Now, increase Condition and Durability loss by a factor of 10 for non-paying characters. Then, make the ToA scrolls cost a little bit of real money. This way, you can "play for free" if you are alright with using only dropped items. Anyway, just one idea to re-invigorate the game and one of many possible ways to make the game Free to Play (You could also require payment for Realm Abilities, or keys to enter certain zones/areas/dungeons/etc). It's still the best MMO out there... -----signature----- Praleon Bathory, 51 Infiltrator, LGM Weaponsmith, Mordred Kaballah, 50 Cabalist (Matter), Mordred <Judgement> http://vnboards.ign.com/Camelot_RvR_Forum/b22330/61704929/?0 ^^ Range Limitation to Buffbots is needed.

They'd have to do what other games like L2/AoC did and put in a game store and add fluff stuff people can buy and they don't have anyone who knows how. -----signature----- NF: Astlaine, Eleva, Cleanshot CV: Brokinte, Busterbear, Fligoo Mordred: Who cares?
