I wanted to let everyone know I am open to trying out Dark Age of Camelot again. As the last big pre-WOW MMORPG, I played it from 2001 to 2004 before I quit. Because it's pre-WOW, it had a ton of retro-ness that I liked, but a few things that I didn't. For example (some of this may be out of date since the game is 15 years old):
- No group finders, you had to basically make friends by bumping into them in the world at large
- No instances, groups were made dynamically from people who were camping various spawns in various dungeons
- No real bosses so to speak, bosses required large numbers of players rather than the elaborate scripted affairs they are now. This may have changed, as a news item referred to some new bosses in some dungeons
I was going to make a new character and keep my old ones for the money and just in case we need a big character to kill someone. I think Markosias may be already playing on/off, and I wanted to ask what server he was on for housing instance purposes, since we need to be on the same server to visit each other's houses. If not, I was going to propose YWAIN#4 as a server since it's recommended for new players and they are all basically the same.
Finally, I asked Ark and Allihandra this question a while ago, and all three of us were Midgard leaning, so I wanted to check if anyone else has a total love for another realm before we start shooting each other with arrows.
