DAOC is what made me quit Everquest, well that and Luclin. Classic DAOC was a ton of fun.
Uthgard is good but some of it is woefully incomplete. Bonedancers are still barely implemented, necromancers I'm not sure are implemented at all, spiritmancer pets are incomplete, savage hand to hand is bugged, and many many mobs are generic melee mobs lacking any abilities or spells they're supposed to have which is annoying if you played a charm class like sorcerer on live and try to replicate what you did back then. On the plus side, on Uthgard you can charm mobs that weren't charmable on live...
Those are just the problems I remember, and some might be fixed by now. I'm not sure why the server is as incomplete as it is. Project 1999 puts it to shame in terms of completeness and replicating the classic game.
There was also (and still may be) this very annoying "8v8 only" culture on the server. DAOC is about realm vs realm, taking keeps, taking relics, taking back Darkness Falls etc. but for some reason a lot of people were only interested in meaningless 8v8 and woe be to anyone who dared interfere or join in.
