Did I play DAOC? Yes
Why did I leave? A wise man once said, "when you come to the end of a book, close the book" |

Played it on and off since launch. Except for the lack of balance, I liked the game a lot. But lack of population on my servers caused me to finallt lay it to rest. |

Lack of players, death of New Frontiers, servers merge, LoS casting exploits, radar. Was fun before all that tho. |

Look at me....I did this to you. |
I played DAoC when it first came out and quit shortly after Trials of Alantis. I couldn't bear the thought of leveling items and whatnot. so I left for SWG/WoW/CoH. I think DAoC has the best RvR around and I have tried a ton of mmo's (more the above mentioned). If War is anything like DAoC, and I hope it is, then I think it will do fine. However I am a little peeved that "Greenskins" have only 1 flippin orc now (when I think of Greenskins, I think of orc's, goblins are the farthest thing from my mind). Sorry I'll save my remarks for the correct post! |

The first 2 years of DAoC were the best 2 years in mmorpg history. |
Dark age had by far the best end game of any mmo to date imo. |

I quit DAoC after 7 months of play because of the radar hacking/cheating. If you didnt cheat, you couldnt compete in RvR really. Mythic did nothing about it, so they lost me as a subscriber. |

I played. Started with Beta.
Then was sent to Kosovo on a TOD. Stopped playing and never got back into things when I came back. *shrug* |

I played at release for about 9 months. I left because i ended up on a server that was greatly out numbered by both the other realms and had no chance to exp any end game stuff. I returned when the 2nd expansion came out and found a balanced server. I played for about 1.5 yrs and left then because of a few patches that were gearing mostly toward the group RvR. These patches really seemed to hinder the solo rvr classes ( archer / rogue types) Stuff like faster heals and more absorbant armor made it harder to snipe with my ranger. I enjoyed the group RvR but i have worked graveyard shift for over 15yrs. So when not at work i play the night shift all the way until the morning. Even on populated servers the numbers die late at night. So this was when i'd switch to my ranger. Nerfing the solo pvp took away a lot of my playing time , so i left. |

Played in open beta. Didn't start the game until early Nov. 2001. Tried various classes through out the mids and hibs. But there was something about the albion cleric in the early days that hooked me, i quit around Sept 2002. The nerf hammer was laid down hardcore on the smite line. I wanted to do some dps and maybe I don't know have some cc abilities but those were stripped down to a shaodw of what they were. Buffbotting was taking off in a big way and I found it rather disturbing. Mythic would rather have bots playing clerics then actual players. Tried to make a come back with an armsman a few years later, soon as i hit lvl 35 i level'd out of the bg's i was done, there was no way i was going to make it to 50. Went through the a few betas over the course of the a few years with ryzom, eq 2, shadowbane, l2, guild wars, wow. Played wow on and off for 4 years as a ret pally *sigh* welcome to the nerf hammer again.
