DAOC Phoenix Freeshard Launches Tomorrow January 4th
 

https://playphoenix.online/

New launch tomorrow. This is probably the last large scale high end DAOC server to launch.

They made some significant QOL changes to leveling and balance changes to make shitty classes less shitty.

Anyone else giving it a try?

edit: looks like it will launch the 12th. Tomorrow is final stress test and name/guild saving. More info on the server here https://playphoenix.online/getting-started

Oh nice, that's launching soon?

Hell yeah I am.

Uthgaard is kind of dying off :(

I want a good DAOC server

My static group and I just started up on uthgaard/mid a few days ago. Is uthgaard reading dead? is this server the better one to hop on? it looks like its not classic tho but the changes don't look terrible.

Uthgaard isn't totally dead, but it wasn't long ago that the server pop was around 1000

Seems around half that now....is there a reason why?

I'm hearing some good things about the QOL changes that are coming with this server.

You will need to raid just once to get flagged for raid loot. You can then purchase the item once you contain a new currency called Feathers. These Feathers drop off hard pve content that you can farm.

The loot that will drop during leveling will all be decent. No more naked characters in the 20's.

They have buffed some of the terrible classes for each realm for RVR. Paladins have more spec points and their endurance line have it's range larger.


I will be rolling alb.

Do you know if Friars will be viable for RVR?

If so, I'm rolling Alb definitely.

I heard stealthers start with MoS perks? Pretty cool

I had fun on my Uthgard infiltrator. Was my introduction to the game, but it stop being fun the 50th time a Midgard sneak axed my face with 3 buddies. I really liked my friar, too.

They buffed the damage table for Friar's and added a grp heal proc in the healing tree. I'm guessing most will add more in rejuv if the heal proc is decent.

Hell yeah, I'm rolling friar then.

Might not make it into a cookie cutter 8man, but who knows maybe

Is all this info on their website?
