i am a casual Daoc player so i am pretty new on your forums.
Early 2015 i stopped playing Daoc related to it's fairness here on Freeshards.
Sadly nothing or just a tiny few has changed over the years, but i would like to play Daoc again.
Certainly some might suggest to connect one of those two populated shards actually up, but well one was the reason i take a break from daoc and the other i've noticed some things i didn't like. ( dont want to point it out here )
If it was as easy as creating this thread i would probably make my own server and watch what the rest of Casual players think off.
Bad for me it isn't that easy since it incl. much scripting etc.
Maybe someone could tell me different
I dont like to grind lvl 1 - 50 over and over again. i had this on live allready. ( S.N. : i left live with the release of TOA )
But i agree it's one of DAOC's aspect besides getting nice items this way and building templates for the lategame RvR or PvP.
If i would be able to create a Freeshard of myself i would like to make it pretty much Custom but try to keep it as classic as possible.
I am not going much into details with Ruleset etc but i gonna like to list here some basics i would like to see if i had a own server.
Besides leaving the server alone after it runs , ( no bunch of gm's or admins ingame ) I would like if it looks like this.
Custom Open World PvP i40
- MAP New Frontiers EX: hibernia frontier have mobs mainly easy to get level 50 besides the claimable guildkeeps / Relics
- One save Area with all trainer npcs , crafters and such. also providing boats and hasteners.
- Agramon / Irish sea / Midgard /Albion have mainly level 50 - 65 mobs for some special Currency drops like them droped from DF, a special Dungeon-system for Weapon or armory with unique skins but not more powerful as those crafted.
- Epic Armor / weapon / jewelery quests
- Guilds can bind on their keeps and build Specific Npcs like in Housing (guildvaults) or Relic pads for their relic/s
- Player stats would be classic 75/75 & 26% resis. besides starting with 700 Tradeskill in everything
- maybe even a Dungeon with a boss like legion just for a Slayer Title besides good money drop or beeing able to unlock champion level exp. after this has been done. (better than unlocking upon reaching level 50 )
- ...
If anyone like to pick this up as an inspiration for himself i won't get mad about that, otherwise i wouldn't keep this public.
So, for someone who just know the basics aka, pretty much all of /ingame Cmd as i do, this project is pretty much impossible to start.
If someone however would like to start this with me i pretty much would like to make the rest of it. creating the maps, rules and pretty much the rest of it. ( as this is also a lot of work )
Discussions or feedback is pretty much appreciated by me.. ( a dream would be getting all of the big names here on board and starting something like the wall of text above )
i have no server actually and i don't know if it's possible to run and play it on my pc. aka unfair because a ping of 0-5

Thanks for reading this allready.
