Well, mauler was a "mirror", but that's still only 1 out of 45 classes. Still 44 other unique's.

classes had resemblences to others... but yes other then mauler everything had its own seperate abilities. And within those 45 classes were the spec's you could choose which changed the class completely as well. Cave Shammy vs Aug Shammy, and so on

Yeah, there were resemblences, in that you had healers, melee, casters. But then you had everything in between, melee/healer hybrids, melee/caster hybrids, caster/healer hybrids.

Ditto. From what I read, RvR is still going strong in that game. You still have to deal with the botting and such but if you roll with a guild group, you'll hit and run in Emain Macha all night long.

I actually thought Darkfall was the best pvp game ever. Unfortunately, the company couldnt handle management of the game, protection from hacking, and had no idea how to balance melee/magic and offer alternative advancement. However Darkfall 2.0...

I am holding out hope that the money SW:TOR has generated will translate into some competent "PVP dedicated" devs non-stop working on things other than instanced arena/BG PVP.

You can get realm buffs for 138/155, or make a friend with a bot. For casting, aslong as you hit the dex break points your good....

I don't think that today's gamer would tolerate DAoC style gameplay. Look at Ilum. It became a race to find a way to shortcut the system rather than an opportunity to enjoy some combat. In DAoC Mid was almost always the low pop realm and we competed just fine. We used the terrain and opportunity to make our strikes. We didn't look for ways to exploit the gaining of rp's and then whine on the forums about pop imbalance.

Yes, I'm old. GET OFF MY LAWN!

my point! i didnt even remind of the mauler, and they were one of my least favorite (matter of opinion). I had to edit it because i remembered it was mirrored but all the other 44 were incredibly unique.

interesting i hear a lot of the darkfall pvp as being good as well, not as much as i hear/read other ppl say about daoc's, but unfortunately never tried it.
