I have been wondering the same about Warhammer: RoR. It is quite a time investment to make now as an adult to play these games, and having the game suddenly disappear without warning would be frustrating. I'm not at all versed in legality, but I imagine that If they tried to make profit in any major way, they would be shutdown instantly. What worries me about Warhammer is that I hear there may be another Warhammer MMO in the works. If Return of Reckoning is seen as competition, the game dev could pressure Games Workshop to step in, as the Warhammer rights-holder. With DaoC on the other hand, I don't think there are any plans by EA/Mythic to produce a sequel, and the spiritual successor that is in the works (and has disappointed me immensely as an early backer sucker) is a competing company. I guess it comes down to whether they make enough on the original DaoC still, to even care.

Even paying lawyers would seriously eat into that maintenance profit, so they wont do anything unless they see money.

Overall, I'd agree. It can be a bit mind-numbing at times, especially the 45-50 grind, but nothing tops it IMO as far as methodical group play. I would actually love to see cross realm PvE because it would be cool to explore all of the available zones throughout the leveling experience and vastly increase player pool for grouping. I get that this is really clunky to have alongside the RvR system so I probably wouldn't even go that route myself from a practical development perspective. But this is what Mythic should have done back in the day on their PvE server.

@@TheNathanNAPALM I've had actual conversation with the Devs about this and they won't budge unfortunately. They want 1-50 to be 20-30 hours no more no less. I've begged for slower level with more incentive for heavy grouping to be the primary way to level. I explained that there's a reason Everquest is still so popular and if DAoCs PvE resembled that even in a small way they could hold players for so much longer. Why would WoW classic be such a success if people didn't like grouping and leveling where you feel a great accomplishment when finally reaching cap level. The Eden team is very fair and listens to feedback but when it comes to PvE they don't see eye to eye with the Everquest and WoW classic style leveling system and are catering very heavy to the pvp/rvr community that tend to be the LOUDEST in discord & forums.

One of my first mmorpg's was Rubies of Eventide, a game where max level was so hard to reach, no player ever reached it.

i played that game a few month when i was 12y/o in around 2002, my mind had never been so stimulated ever so far, i was forced to stop because i didn't have access to a credit card and by parents were not willing to make one. my dreams were hard crushed when my first sub month reach the end. i remember even buying another box in a store to play another 1 month freesub and tried to make friends inside the game and convince someone to pay my sub in exchange for sending money through bank transfer but it didn't work. i remained obsessed of that game for a couple years watching it from far distance not able to play it. i eventually came back to it at around 16 or 17 y/o when found a way to pay the sub. but it had the feeling that the glory years had passed already and the servers were a bit empty, i never really had the joy to deepdive in this game in the end. a version like this with those graphics that would unit a big wave of veterans and curious people like me would be dope. graphics is not really an important point to me, with this game tho i always had big problem with the server lags and server tics that shows player positions where they're not and kind of teleport players to many different positions all the time, specially when you tried to play an assassin in pvp that heavily rely on positional attacks, that's literally what made me stops. the smoothness of wow felt pure bliss in comparison at that time. i wish to see a daoc version without these problems

From the in-game funerals honored by all three realms in the frontiers. To the guilds that would peel off in an 8v8 when my group would get AJ'd. To the lvl 50 shaman who would give me stam and dmg buffs when passing by in DF when I was a low level. To the crafters who would grind for hours to become LGM only to charge cost because for the glory to the realm. To the Raid leaders and Relic Raid leaders who brought the community together for the realm. To the people having 8v8s and not killing the lonely solo who just wanted to watch. To the people who would /bow after kicking my butt. To the high level group in the dungeon who brought someone 6 levels under them to soak xp and go deeper with you. To the people of Igraine when dropping Laghammers in OF Emain zerg fights, sorry not sorry :) To the thousands of memories built over the years from every corner of the game.

Spent more time in mythra and DF than I can possibly tell you. My friend (who passed away RIP Gary S) took leave from the army just to level his armsman for Pete’s sake! lol I’m loving this

I played DAoC for many years. Had a RR9 Merc, RR5 Cleric, RR5 Friar, RR5 Nightshade. I miss the game so much. I had no idea there was a Eden server game. Is there a Discord for it? I'd love to check it out and get back into the game after so many years.

It's possible that they are doing the method that uses the original game and only sort of layer unreal ontop for the rendering.

Everyone in the comments saying how it looks better than Pantheon and I am over here thinking to myself that it looks better than Camelot Unchained. Whether this ever becomes reality or not, it's sad to see that the game being developed by Marc Jacobs doesn't look as good or promising as this.

I'd agree with slowing leveling down (not the thousand plus hours my first Level 50 took me, but maybe 100 hours?). Starting with Classic zones only is also a good idea, but I'd keep the full class set they have now. Old Frontiers however is terrible. Milegates are fine, it's the terrain and the keeps that needs a lot of work.

I owned 3 copies of DAoC and all expansions. For me, I would love to have all the original classes un-nerfed. It seemed I made some great choices from the beginning with every class I chose. And every one of them was nerfed! Bring back all the original class spells/abilities!

Still on my toplist for MMO, and the first one I played. Outstanding; the classes, the community and the RvR at the gates and in darkness falls! Played a cleric in Albion; smitecleric! and was one of the first 50:s at the server (chaining goblins in group!) ; also with a glowing hammer, that was super-rare at the time. Also good guilds. So much fun. Guild was "The breathren" lead by Pac Man ^^ (Are you out there??). If it came back in classic with graphics; I would give it a go now... 20+ years later!

I recently picked up Eden, and it's easily the best freeshard yet in a long history of DAOC freeshards. I had seperately seen the UE5 engine demo videos, but I had NO IDEA they were the SAME team. This fills me with joy and gives me such hope after pissing my money away to Mark Jacobs 10 years ago. After 22 years I'm still playing DAOC, and I don't even want to play any other games.

@@TheNathanNAPALM Do you know the dev's skill / professional background? If not, could you find out the relevant info to share to everyone so we know just how likely this is to be a real project that will get released? If it were a fully funded team of seasoned expert gamedevs with past MMO experience, I'd have a lot of confidence. But if it was just amateurs who dabble as hobbyists doing unreal tutorials, I'd know to not get too excited. And anywhere inbetween. If it were a client for DAoC, I would expect anyone to be able to complete it - even a hobbyist working for free. But an entirely new MMO? Oh geez... honestly without having confidence in the team's expertise, to me it's like another vaporware mmo. They better not ask for money.

It's the Eden team who has already launched a successful DAoC private server and about to launch another here on Dec 2nd, they have definitely done tons of content that was beyond the scope of what DAoC originally offered on those servers, beyond that, I'm not sure what else they have done@@nowayjosedaniel

Mortal Online 2 has recently moved to Unreal 5 and had a lot of issues to tune it to handle large scale battles. As DAOC will have LARGE scale battles I doubt a small indy team will have the infrastructure to scale to handle Unreal 5. Good luck!
@TheNathanNAPALM11 ай бұрын
Yeah the only advantage this team has is they've already handled the infrastructure before on their DAoC servers : can they replicate the same success on UE5?

The foundation that makes daoc, daoc was the engine. We all know this, and there has not been an engine capable of doing RvR properly without network code issues. Now Unreal could pull this off. But I have zero confidence that anyone could copy daoc without some sort of liability issues.
