Easily the best MMO I have every played...nothing else even comes close. The fact that every realm had unique classes, the 3 realm system, the monumental impact of PvP objectives, siege warfare...Every now and then I reactivate for 14 days and remember what it was like. I loved my heretic more than any other video game character I have ever played.
I actually watched this trailer to see what this game looked like, but as soon as I heard this voice I knew exactly who it was. Tony Jay, who is most well known as Frollo in the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Disney is an amazing voice actor. R.I.P. Mr. Jay.
i played midgard five years i left my american friends there, the scarlet knights. I miss them and the game everyday. best wishes to all daoc players from italy
New people are coming back to DAoC everyday. If you are new to daoc you should know its easy to get to max lvl where the pvp action is taking part. All you got to do is the solo/grp instances, there are like 4 of them, lvl 0-20, lvl 20-30 ect. You just take quests from the taskmaster in the villages close to the instances and go into the instance and complete it, then go back and repeat until your lvl 50 and ready for the real game! The pvp is really breathtaking!
The frame-rate? What you on about? It's not as flashy and instant and WoW? How is that a bad thing? And just for the record, the cluster IS one server. Every zone is merged in-game, all but the housing zones, and that hardly matters.
It's easy to start playing this game now, and return. It's a single download of 4gigs and you're in. There's a good population on the Ywain cluster and there's people playing in every level range. Go to the battlegrounds from level11 and have a blast! I know I am.
@Flicker455 I love the game but its aged the frame rate of the game doesn't match up with new mmo's and the cluser is the size of one server on a mmo of this age
new to the game , like to play it (: but 1 thing when midgard is shown , and the voice says 'these and many other classes' you see a spell , is this runemaster?? ifso , wich spell is it?? it looks epic ö
I miss in the very beginning when Smite specced Clerics had the same damage output as Wizards except Clerics wore chain armor and had buffs, I was very sad the day they nerfed my Cleric. Now I play a Thane, rofl.
It sure is operational. Also epic. It's pay to play, but there's a 14-day free trial. (Hooked me; be careful. ;) Hop over to darkageofcamelot dot etc.
@spleen1666 Those expansions were not perfect.. But without them at all I doubt the game would have lasted as long as it did. Also I don't think DAOC ever died... We still have a great community playing 24 hours a day. cheers.
@spleen1666 i miss daoc so fucking much man... this game got me into MMOs when i was alike 12...and ever since leaving it (since everyone got butthurt after ToA and mass exodus'ed the game) ive been looking for something like it.... nothing comes close to DAoC... nothing is quite the same, if you played pre SI you know exactlywhat im talking about. BRING BACK DAOC.
@leirgauk It's because they played it for several years then moved on. When they try to go back noon knows then, there guild is no more. They get killed in rvr all the time in the beginning and they cannot relive the game as they did the first time when they where 5-10 years younger. And ofc they blame some expantion for destroying the game etc... The game is there, there are players in it. Once you get into a guild in pvp , you will have lot's of fun. But you have to stick with the game a while
I have to ask! What is the max lvl in this game? And how is the game? I mean is it mindless grindfest like AION! I Might try the 14 day trial! To see for my self! :) the trailer got my interest have to admit that...
Well, max level is 50, but there are also Champion levels and Master levels; and you are not going to have a problem maxing out and getting bored. ;) It is no grindfest. Best PvP ever. Still is -- so many imitators, none have come close. Play it!!
Have to say I like the simplicity of this trailer. the game looks like it is not aiming to be the Best in graphics, the graphics looks pretty low but still cool! :) I know its from 2001 but still. The game looks pretty great! Too bad it has subscribtion of 12 dollars/month. Otherwise would have been worth to play!
@FINworldrock you can play DAoC on Uthgard Freeshard it's free and it is playing the old pre-ToA server making it a classic server before all the expansions
So what if they have the same WoW and DAoC Have the same voice over artist? He's a Voice Over Artist, it's his job to do voice overs. Doesn't mean he's tied down to one specific company.
ok everyone it is the guy who does it for wow...but not only wow and doac, he's the speaker of games, the head honcho for that, charges big bucks but gets the job done, awesome game, have played it since release in 2001, to this day...Midgard is the place to be though
@24onepiece ya its the same guy XD. I have a question for any1 who plays this game 1- how much is it. 2- what race/realm/class do you recomend for a person who has played online rpg games but not this one and 3- how sexy is this game?
um... its totallymetallica idiot. And that guy' comment was over 1 fucking year ago dumbass. Why even comment? 1 fucking year ago dude! ONE FUCKING YEAR, you think he even has a fucking clue what you were talking about?
Wen i wuz 8 or 9 i bought this game of ebay, well i asked my dad 2, he didn't no it wuz online and that u had 2 pay. He let me play for wat... 3 months, then he stopped me cuz he didn't want me 2 play anymore, if i find it again, which i think its in my cuboard, i will try and install it again, id rather play this than WOW
WoW has been made after 10 or 15 years after DAoC and they really seems eachother and so.... i think some now copy WoW but WoW copied DAoC
