Dawn of Light

Brand new classic server is now being created by us the Legacy Team, hoping to bring back the good old memories. As I am writing this, we are working hard on we recreating the best classic DAOC freeshard. We all know that some features on classic daoc was bit unfair and you wished it could of been tweaked, nows your chance to speak up as we will be doing all these tweaks and changes for example, making leveling fun again, bringing battlegrounds back to life and some custom event to spice up the server.

This is a full Classic&SI server and we want everyone to enjoy it from level 1 to 50. Here is some examples that could happen if you guys ask for it

Custom Changes:

• Improved Class balance
• Maybe TOA and laby race to spice up the character creations and maybe the classes
• Old frontiers or New frontiers
• Battleground quests to help you start RVR at level 1!
• Custom events
• and much more

All of these features can be in our server, we just need you guys to help us and say what you want. So head on over to our website and tell us what you want in this server.

Remember we are listening to what you guys want.

Thanks Hattori.

You're doomed to fail right out of the gate if you're relying on people to tell you how to design the server. I'd probably concentrate on those core principles - classic + SI, things to help people start RVRing quicker, etc - and forget about trying to make it flashy or appeal to everyone.

Classic was inherently unbalanced, and that's kind of what made it fun. Fighting off zergs, abusing overpowered RAs, etc. This is precisely why Origins has everyone's attention and you'll be hard-pressed to take those players away, or attract new ones, by letting everyone have input and making it seem like the server has no vision.

Thanks for your suggestion, see now we can use that to improve our server . We like to keep an open mind on what the community wants but we also make sure that it is close to classic daoc but as a free shard we might have to make some custom changes in order to help improve daoc experience, for example keep taking on origin is not fun, as the door is made of paper and easy to take down, to improve this we will raise the health of door or decrease the damage players can do to make it more challenge and rewarding.

If you have any more details or suggestions that you wished origins had please visit the website and tell us

Hey, it's always nice to see someone around here I love your enthusiasm

I think you really need to choose what you want to make as soon as possible, you can't have a classic server with ToA and cata etc. You also can't create a classic server and then add ToA/Cata stuff a few weeks down the line, that's a recipe for disaster unless you don't care about your server's player population.

Personally, I think an BG only server would go down pretty well and be pretty good fun.

The problem is that if you're making an RvR server the first few players will be very difficult to get, you'll need to launch your server at an optimal time.. and since RvR servers need a minimum of 90 players to function most of them fall on their back as soon as they launch sadly. You could try and come up with something new and fresh, most unique servers seem to do very well.

Your website is really nice btw, good job.

Thanks for the advice, after seeing these replies we are now narrowing it down on what aspects we need to focus on which is the core principles of a classic&SI server. This is all thanks to you guys for helping us understand what needs to be done in order succeed.

good luck ! Don't forget to contribute !

If you want true DAoC classic.
Do not add SI or DF.
Because DF was added in 2002

This thread was over a year old =)
