Try Eden (DAoC) this Christmas

[Encroaching Death]

New DAoC Emu Server just dropped. December 10th was launch date.

It currently has 2500 players (it's 2pm...)

You can level through PVE or PVP, your choice.

It's pretty sick. I'm liking it so far.

I'm playing an Animist and they really improved ground targeting, so even better.

Download and Install in 10 mins, login via your Discord account. Real easy.

Daoc is awesome. I played hard when that uthguard re-release happened. For some reason the clanky ui and slow moving characters bothered me. Perhaps I should give it another go and try this server out.

Nah, Pirates of the Burning Sea just launched their long-awaited Legacy server last weekend.

Everyone is on the Legacy server now which we've been waiting for for many years.

Looks like my gamer pals wanna try this out. So we all rolled on Albion. There are 4 of us and we are either gonna go...
1)paladin, friar, reaver, minstrel
Or pure casters
2)wizard, theurg, cabalist, sorc

It sucks because it likely means the end of our p99 gnome crew if they end up enjoying it.

Look at it as a vacation rather than as an end. Dark Age of Camelot is a lot of fun but it has notorious problems with player retention as a server matures. Get in early, enjoy it for awhile, there's no other MMO-RPG quite like it and what it does, it does very well. Usually it'll decline hard over time. If they take a break from P99, they might be back in six months or a year. P99 will wait.

Between your two groups I like the one with some melee a little better. Casters are true glass cannons in that game, they tend to die if something looks at them funny, especially early on before a player gets a good amount of realm rank. Plus minstrel speed and permasprint means you can pick and choose your battles much moreso than you can with caster speed. I'm not high on reavers (I'd like armsman or mercenary better) but a lot of these private servers tinker with class balance so maybe the rules here are different.

Can't go wrong with either, really.

#2 is probably more viable for a full 8 man cookie cutter group. Albion loves their Cabalists...

But #1 would make a great small man grp. Minstrels are godly and so are Reavers. My old Reaver could melt someone in about 3 seconds if I got behind them. The sucky thing about this server when compared to Celestuis is you have to twist your songs on "bard" classes. Can only have 2 songs running at the same time. Oh well.
