STOP copying WoW and start copying DAoC

Yes it's another post from yet another outraged player, QUIT building on to the worst failure that ever was an mmorpg, when will you learn to LISTEN to what the better players are saying rather than to listen to the worst players?!,


Fact 1: WOW PvP Sucked from day 1 till now.... it was a mass grind fight with no organisation, you qued with random crap players and it featured the same battlegrounds over and over again... IT WASNT FUN IT WASNT CHALLENGING, yet you are copying this?!? The worst parts of WoW is what you decided to copy?. You want to catch peoples eyes? then create something new!? don't copy what was horrible from another game?


Fact 2: DAoC was freaking great and has been deemed by the pvp society online as the best pvp game of ALL Times yet you dont cooporate with your OWN collegaues at Mythic who has infinitely more experience creating MMORPG games? That's silly learn from their mistakes by and learn from the things they created that was awesome.....pvp objective based war areas such as the frontiers, and create PERMANENT battlegrounds for the level brackets to enjoy.


The Warning: DO NOT Get complacent by thinking we're playing this game because it has more to offer than WoW because quite frankly it's the same and WoW is more populated people might aswell return under these circumstances, so dont rest your feet till you're done walking, you have the game you have the technology you have the brains to figure out what the eliteists are saying may hold some truths to it , now ACT accordingly and fix it please =)

What are the 3 main lessons from DAoC?

1. Three factions. Always three factions. Not two, but three. Vital.
   
   
2. Caps on every single stat. Ability to cap all stats through crafted gear or raid gear. Your choice.
   
   
3. Meaningful objectives in a large world zone that people care about. Relics mattered. Access to Darkness Falls mattered. Bonus money/xp earned in the frontier mattered.

And yet somehow, every single MMO since DAoC (including Warhammer) fails to incorporate any of the above three things.

Amazing.

A lot of nostalgia going on here. I remembered it pretty fondly until came back to it after having been out for 6 or so years and I remembered why I left before pretty quickly.

WoW may have had issues but it was at least somewhat close to balanced compared to Dark Age, if you didn't have certain classes you had no reason to go pvping.

For the love of teh gawdz don't copy Dark Age too intently, it did a couple things right but a lot more wrong.

The number #1 reason why every new MMO sucks is because it is all gear based rather than ability based, as long as that factor remains constant people will lose interest and move on to the next new thing.

Making the pvp ranks unlock new abilities constantly betters your character and makes people want to play more. For instance, all the Battlemasters have absolutly no reason to pvp since they are not bettering their character at all.

I don't care what genre MMO it is....once a decent MMO comes out with an ability based system, they will earn my subscription money for years and years. I played DAOC for 8 years before getting bored, and since I'm approaching Battlemaster in this game I'm seriously contemplating un-subbing until something new PVP wise comes out. In order to get almost all of the Realm Abilities in DAOC I needed to play for almost a decade.
