For those that remember Dark Age of Camelot

Firebirth level 50 Armsmen reporting for duty :D

Ahh the good old days on DAoC when a relic raid could crash the server and GM's went mental and started spawning world bosses all over the place.

Here you go mate, it's easy enough to connect. Just download the client and then get DAOCportal to connect to the server:

Be aware it is old frontiers and no TOA, just the way it should be if you want to relive the good ole days. If you need a little help starting out I don't mind helping with a bit of gold, be nice to see some more new players and OCUK guys there.

Old Prydwen player here too, I was in GK at one point Misterjingo. (I played a fire wiz called Myddrin). Recognize some old names too like Sycho and USP :)

Does it still have Darkness Falls and does it run with the SHrouded Isles expansion. I checked out of DAoC a few months after SI and the great midgard L.A nerf in 1.61. I had a 50 SB, Warrior, Shamen, Thane and Runemaster spread over 2 accounts as I dual boxed. Never got to expreience froniers or the ToA expansion, although from what I read they butchered the game a bit.

RvR was so awesome, I remember the massive relic fights we used to have on excal and all the bitching on barry's world about Ardramels infamous crack of dawn raids :)

It has DF yes, Shrouded isles is in progress and due soon.

No ToA thankfully and its Old frontiers. Plenty of Excal people around on all realms.

They frown upon dual logging and ban people temporarily for it. ( mainly to stop people buffbotting )

Jarakin?:p i recognise your forum name....(Misterjingo i recognise too and Divinious Oo)

I am going to pledge a good amount on Friday as i wish to be in the Alpha phases may even go into Internal Testing stages as i been very good with Alpha testing before in games.

Hope once it's released it's advertised very well, server caps are high and subscription fees are reasonable.

I personally find all current MMORPG's very poor for pvp....Guild Wars 2 is overated and WoW pvp is a joke.

Wow, Prydwen reunited eh? Jarakin here. Nice to see you both Sycho and Usp, long time indeed! Quite a few other names are ringing bells too, how are you guys? :)

Looks like CU is bringing a few old faces out of the woodwork, and a number of us from all three realms on pryd have clung together in an IRC community over the years too and have played through most major mmo releases since daoc, a large chunk of us have already pledged for it, a few for the alpha and a few for the beta. I'll be signing up for the first beta stage myself. Fingers crossed it hits the target though!!
 
lol hey Jarakin :)

I also posted about CU on the pryd.net boards and FH, see what the interest is and try to drum up some more backers, the total is just under $1m now so hopefully it meets the $2m target before the end. I know there's a few people who are still deciding what tier to go for though.
 
Usp and Jarakin, hi ;)

I was an annoying 15 year old teenager back then, now I'm 25 and a graduated engineer, oh how times have changed. I have been terrorizing Sycho's life ever since though. ;)

Would be awesome if the DAOC community were to reunite though. Definitely supporting this kickstarter.

Teador, RR7 Enchanter
Xeanor, RR8 Sorcerer

/wave :)
 
Heck of a prydwen reunion going on in here :p

I was a Celt Hero for those that don't recognise the name, in Ascending Dawn and other guilds. It would be great to see Camelot Unchained bring back some of what made DAoC great.
 
So what ones have people gone for? going to go for $110 i think now the $180 option has gone.:p

I remember you Setroc...and your guild was a nice bunch of players.(Shike was in your guild too if i remember?)
 
yeah AD was a good bunch of guys. I played with shike a bit in EVE too, way after daoc. Going to pitch in at the $50 tier I think, but still haven't made my mind up.
 
I love seeing old Prydwen names from back then :D. Makes me every so nostalgic.

I had too many chars but might remember me as Cayote the Minstrel or Weebl the Cabalist in Servants of the Lake/Last Watch.

The biggest thing that made DAoC was the community, I know people say that about a lot of things but it existed in an era when Mmo's were still niche and it meant everyone on Prydwen in the early days seemed to know each other. I doubt that will ever be repeated in another mmo - something which saddens me somewhat :(.

Ill throw some money down on this but as a big PvE fan probably not as much as some of you.

Bit off topic but for any of you who use to come on the dragon raids I found this a few months back - more nostalgia :D Linky
 
Lack of PVE will probably kill it, as much as I enjoyed RvR in DAOC I didn't play it all the time - that would have been dull. You need a break now and then from it, they'll have to be careful how they balance that.

Many people buying this will be expecting DAOC, it's going to be radically different which is why I ended up not backing it.
 
So latest update has been about the stretch goals, one of which was to be expected. More classes/races.

But the other was to introduce "The Depths" a darkness falls type RvR dungeon which just sounds like it could be totally awesome.

Going for the $50 option too probably, we were going to try for the guild of the veil option with 10 players, but too many people have already pledged and/or wanted Alpha etc.

If any of you guys still use IRC, a whole bunch of us from prydwen hang out on #merelymortal on quakenet, it's fairly buzzing about CU just now, so come say hi. :) We're also trying to bring #daoc.prydwen back to life too, mostly idlers just now but the more the merrier! :D
 
Yeah, I think they're just using it as the basis for their netcode and possibly physics atm? I heard they weren't even writing the actual game in the same language.
 
Psi here, hey all :D I'll definitely be backing this.

Can't see that as I'm at work but I really hope it's one of LoE's zerg raids!
