I have been working hard on a Server that is both stable and fun. To connect to my server is as easy as downloading 1 file and thowing it into your daoc directory and double-clicking it. (Doesn't replace any other daoc files.)

I'm thinking about scripting something like a BG, No Ra's and everyone haveing the same Equip. No rez Sick, Etc... Just to go out and kill and get rps like Old Camelot.

DOL project and I have been working hard to create a DAOC Shard that is exactly like the REAL DAOC as you know it. It still has a long way to go with quests etc.. but it really is shaping up nicely. My goal is to create a working shard BEFORE TOA and BEFORE NF.

Since Dol project is GPL there is no way Mythic CAN shut us down. This is Why in a nutshell.

1. You bought DAOC for $30 when it came out. All files needed to run DAOC are on YOUR computer. Which means you own them and may run them anyway you choose even on a server not run by Mythic.

2. Our servers are custom written and in no way have been copied from the Real daoc servers. Therfore under the GPL we are allowed to run free to all.

What you think?

can um we all be dragons?

but um man that would pwn so hardcore

Sounds great Ting.

What did you write the back-end in C++ or? I'm a dev as well but mainly a java weenie now-a-days ... spent about 8+ years in UNIX environments though and wrote a scheduler and a few drivers for Solaris so I know my way around UNIX kernels

sounds like fun

cool! can you make the atlantis tablet to the small gators again... i hate the new croc form

He said PRE-TOA and PRE-NF

doh

that would be fucking sweet... why is the DOL project working so hard to recreate the entire daoc world. I think they should first focus on a version close to what you are saying.. everyone level 50, max stats and resists and no TOA/NF crap. and just emain macha zone or something similar. Man you would get so many people playing it if you did. Hell you could even charge money for it if it was real oldschool 8v8. DO IT!! Hey once I get out of crazy alpha time at work (few months) I would be willing to help you out if you get me started. I can write C/C++ in my sleep now and I can learn any bullshit scripting language real quick.
