    Thid=Thidyanki, the level 20-24 battleground iirc. Really its just low-level RvR but it is totally awesome.

    DF=Darkness Falls I assume. Its a dungeon that all 3 realms can get access to, though only one at a time(whichever side owns the most keeps). I think they did a complete overhaul of it since last I played, but it was pretty badass even back then.

    I was just in Darkness Falls earlier tonight for a quest. But I just barely went in. I'll have to do some reading up on it.

    I never played this back in the day, and heard lots of good things about it, so I'm in. Aiserou the warrior, although I may experiment with other classes since I don't know anything about them. I'm currently lvl 7 and still in the tutorial zone, although I appear to have run out of quests, except for the escort the emissary thing, which I cannot do because he dies to fast.

    You guys also said that Midgaard is a melee realm, does that mean the hunter class is gimped? I loves me some bows.

    Lucky, I switched to playing Ashema, a Troll Shaman instead of Myrai.
    You might just want to pull information for the OP from the Guild screen.

    Also, DaoC trolls >>>> WoW trolls. I'm a hueg lump of stone so awesome

    yea aiserou the escort the emissary quest leads to more quests. there are enough qeusts to get you to lvl 11 easy. by the end you get a full suit of armor and a horse :D and severl magic weapons / shields depending on what you play.

    Thanks for the heads up. I rerolled as a hunter (Amblen) and I think he will be able to take the quest as he kills things ridiculously faster.

    Bah to Cox Cable I say, bah!

    So my cable internet was on the frizt last night. It came back to life right around 1030pm. Which is bedtime (considering I get up at 545am).

    But I did finish patching this morning, and actually got on for about 10sec to make sure it worked.

    No playing tonight though, as I'll be at a concert.

    And "back in the day" Darkness Falls was a crazy romp. Folks would fight over Keeps to open it, and then once open would rush to DF to kick the other Realm out.
    And Legion himself (boss in DF) is kind of cool.

    In case folks didn't know, there's a different sort of "currency" in DF (at least I think it's still there) in the form of different Seals dropped by mobs. Those Seals are turned into little imps to get armor and stuff.

    Along the same lines, there is Auralite in Catacombs. You get that from mobs, and turn it in for gear.

    Actually you were in that Demon place, completely different from DF. That Demon place looks like DF, but it's definitely nowhere close as awesome as DF.

    THEY TOOK OUT AMMO!
    WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME OF THIS!
    *rolls a Hunter*

    I loved playing my Hunter four years ago but the ammo thing always annoyed me...especially since I crafted most of my arrows.

    God I'm excited. Spears and Pets! I like my Bonedancer but the Hunter and I are old friends.

    The no amoo change is awesome. Pretty much every MMo that had a bow class screws them over with the added cost of ammo. To have to buy/make something to do your very basic damage dealing skills is BS. I understand if its for a powerful special ability.

    Good to hear that mythic fixed that, and gives me hope that Squig Herders in WAR might be even better than I thought.

    Ya'all almost make me want to get back into DAoC. I had a 50 non bot druid that was a master armorsmith back when you could only max one craft skill. I had a nightshade who rocked socks in Thid. It's a shame ya'all are playing Mid as I'm a Hibby at heart. Guess it's good that you guys didn't roll Hibs

    I'm willing to skip class so I can play DAoC earlier. That's so bad already... Luckily its an easy class and attendance isn't mandatory.

    I'm a Hib at heart as well but I'm playing as the dirty Mids because its better than not playing at all.

    I tried to play Hibs once. The neon ultra bright colors of Hib lands had me running back to Albion/Midgard.

    It's a good thing I'm away from home and bored right now. If my laptop will run this, A Dell Inspiron 1525, I am so in. I mostly played Albion back in the day, Friar and Reaver being my favs. It might be fun to see exactly what was happening on the other side of the tracks.

    Ok, I'll probably be in after the 8 hours it takes to download this.

    Wasnt Fancy Lads the old guild from.. Months and Months ago during the last rush? Pretty sure that was Midgard too cause I remember dieing on an island trying to get into a cave and running Catacombs insta dungeons on a Thane, Skald, Zerker and something else.

    Then I got on my Alb Necro and farmed things with my insta life tap and power tap, then put that money into Glowys for a Alb caster that one shotted mids in the face in Thid. Oh gods my face! IT BUUUUUURNS. Yes thats what they would say.

    I would like to add that I'm furious at the choice of Mid. I like playing hybrid fighter/healer classes, and Mid doesn't have one. Friars and Wardens ftw.

    I'd like to repeat that I'm furious.
