If this were the case, would you just play WAR or would you make/keep your DAoC account for WAR server downtimes and such?

I love DAoC, but a lot of the problem for me has been cross-realming and low sever populations. Perhaps with some sort of deal as my title states, DAoC would atleast survive.

I wouldn't play DAOC for free without some major changes (read reversions).

I'm sorry, what do you mean, read reversions? Is that a title of a thread or something on DAoC Heraldry?

By way of changes, I meant reversions to the way things were before all the geniuses at mythic decided to tinker with everything that was working, thereby breaking it, in order to string the user base along for more money.

I'm planning on playing DAOC when the new server comes out so this would work for me.

Well, aside from ToA expansion and cross-realming, I really don't see any tinkering that broke the game. So I guess if your having issues, than your having issues. I just can't stand ToA or cross-realming.

when is the new server suppose to come out?

Yes I would do this is a heartbeat. Especially if they ditched the cross-realming and I didn't have to play ToA. A deal like this would only help DAOC.

The DAoC I feel in love with has been changed irreversibly. ToA and NF officially put a stake through the heart of DAoC. The other horrible expansions didn't help anything.

The DAoC of today is worthless. No, I wouldn't pay 19.99 for both. I might sign on once a month if it was free with WAR. I seriously doubt it, though.

I know I would..

DAoC has changed, but I still find it more fun than 95% off the MMO's out there.

I'm STOKED about the new server and WAR.

I m not sure where i saw it and if anyone has a link post it :) I remember reading an interview with MJ about this subject, and he said we haven t decided wether we will do this or not, but don t count it out in the future or something along those lines. I would do it with the new server because as much as i love WAR, DAOC was my first MMO and will never forget the fun i had in that game.

Maybe they will eventually announce some kind of package deal, I would definitely pay for it... especially if they introduced an Origins server.

This would be the only way I would play WAR... yes, you read that right.

For all the whiney "mmo experts" who feel the need to complain about every change to every game... I have yet to play your awesome game that provides exactly what EVERY player wants.  if "they" changed "your" game and you don't like the change you should tell the world about it because of course everyone cares about your opinion. 

It's so odd that the one thing that makes MMOs so great also make them suck... players.
