As we all know DAOC is out in Europe this month. To clarify, DAOC US is not the same CD, and any one who knows the US release of DAOC can *not* play on the European servers.
There will be three servers
French
German
English
The dates for release are as follows:
The French version will be available in retail the 21st of January.
The German and English versions will be available the 1st of February.
Ok a short run down, the sense of community in DAOC is just like UO, it is 3d, it is level based and it has a lot of monster killing, however pvp kicks ass there. There are realms, you must join a realm and the realms are at war, you storm castles and forts and steal the other side’s relics, there’s a whole pvp ranking system etc. From what I gather the monsters dungeons and levels are fun, but have a short life span, a bit like Uo really, after that the pvp and the guild system will be what hold peoples interests. Trade skills also kick ass there.
Now, we need to decide, I am obviously keen to play the English server, but I know most here are German, I think we could play English as you all speak better English than me, and that allows room for the English and other nationality TC. Playing on a German server would restrict us; I would imagine the English server would also be the largest for that reason, so again that’s a bonus.
Who will be playing and where? Any TC who have played the US version maybe can educate us as to what is the best realm to pick and what we should be doing, this could be the game that brings everyone back together again from what I gather, so I have hopes =)
