2. Stealth and Visi level 1-50 events in the battlegrounds
This event will only take place on the weekend. We will start in the battlegrounds at level 1 and go right through to 50. We will go into different battlegrounds and run the quests/killing enemies/taking keeps in:

Eden Pop

Considering a come back after a decade or more out.

Is it worth it? How’s the population by realm? Would like to be in groups rather than solo and relive some of the good old days.

Tribal knowledge farming spots / strategies

I haven't started Edan but have been following it as I was an old school daoc player (2004-2010). I'm curious if all the old strategies and farming spots have been tested on Edan. We used to easily farm dragons on alb with a 9 person setup. Auto farming with macro'd flies setups. Plenty of hib dungeon spots. I get it's fast to level in BGs on Edan. But we used to be able to PL a new character to 50 in a day or two. Have all the old farming spots been better in Edan?

Albion EDEN: PvE Marathon on Saturday 16th November for level 40+

u/everyone ALBION: PvE Marathon on Saturday 16th November for level 40+

Hi all, I'll be leading a PvE Marathon on Saturday 16th November for all level 40+. If you can try and reach level 45+ that would be helpful so i can run through all the content such as pre-quest/mini's and Dragon/ MoH that are lvl 45+ encounters.

Time start: 15:00PM CET / 14:00PM UK / 9:00AM EST / 8:00AM CST / 6:00AM PST. (other times zones you'll need to check on google)!

The order I have in mind for raids but subject to change on the day:

Sidi raid

Summoners Hall

Master level 10

Summoners Hall

Pre-quest / Mini's / Goles

Summoners Hall

Medal of Honor / Avalon city

Springtime folly

CL 5 raid

Sidi raid

Summoners Hall

Master level 10

OTHER RAIDS:

If we have DARKNESS FALLS we will do it but it's not certain we will have it open so have to play it by ear on this one!

ML 9 Dungeon for skins.... Again play it be ear on if we really need it!

Other raids may be added but this is the order I possibly have planned! I will announce each time on here what raid I'm doing so you guys can jump in on the raids you need done!

Any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Hope to see you all there

Who did you used to play with but have lost contact with?

Back in the day, there really wasn't a great way to stay in contact with people after leaving the game (besides forums). Tell me about the person you used to be connected with that you have lost contact with!

Is Eden still the popular freeshard? How is the population?

I haven't played much DAOC since Uthgard went down 10 years ago. Moved across the country multiple times for work and raises. Long story.

Anyway, I'm completely out of the loop with freeshards. Last I checked Eden was the big server but they were wiping the server every 6 months?

Is Eden still where it's at? How do the server wipes work?

I don't have the patience to template over and over every 6 months.

Anyone remember Rizer GreenPeen? Bedevere server ?

Used to be a infiltrator named Rizer GreenPeen years and years ago. He was in the guild boogie knights with Soylentt,andro and company. Got banned when someone hacked my account and was using it to speed hack . I remember calling mythic entertainment trying to explain this to them after I finally retrieved my account and realized it had been banned forever. Miss the good Ole days I made a couple videos pwning peeps. Sure do wish I could go back in time and play him again.

So with so many games getting Remasters/Remakes these days...

What about EA remastering DAOC or possibly remaking it? DAOC is most deserving of any game of a remaster probably, and it's time that EA bring it back.

Realm invasions suck

Do not get me wrong, I appreciate all that the developers have done. I just do not see the fun in a disorganized mess of a realm invasion. I think it is not a bad idea, but more of an organic thing, make the border keeps takeable if relic gates are open or something, but not like this. It should not preeempt NF and all of the other mechanics of the game.

New Player Question

Hi All - new player here. Rolled on Eden (Alb, Britton Paladin - may change) I hear a lot about how Hyb that dominates EU time BGs. How does this work? Surely BGs are balanced in regards to player count? If I roll Alb am I screwed? Just some context here will be good

Would you play on a PVP server again ?

Maan, i just wanted to share that i would really love to play on a pvp server again like mordred (even tho i haven't really really played it back then 😂) but i really would love to see a competent team like Eden's try to give it a go. I think it would be amazing?

So i wonder why not any other dev teams like blackthorn or abyss try to give it a shot since, tbh there is no why anyone could go against Eden's cuz these guys made the game even better than it ever were, i mean to me personally although i hate Eden's server settings ( toa bonuses and other stuff ) they made the game so good that i played until i hit rank 11 five months ago before quitting. but again it would ONLY works for the other devs unless Eden's team decided to do their own pvp server 😆

Or just imagine implementing new QOL like connecting tge 3 realms or picking one realm and making every realm fights together (you cant play with other realms), honestly everything is possible....

What do you think 🤔

Share your thoughts.

Question about Blackthorn's end game self-buffs

Hi, I've kept my eye on Blackthorn a bit, and I'm certainly excited to see a classic server coming.

I just wondered if there is a plan for alchemy and charges, and basically self-buffing at level 50 in the frontiers?

I know this is a fickle topic, and a heated one. But it sets the tone of a huge part of the RvR scene, and I'm super curious how Blackthorn wants to approach it.

Miss the old days

I remember playing when there was 200 players in Camelot and all the major cities. It was truly a memory I’ll goto my grave with. Better than having kids or getting married 😂

First time playing in 15 years.

After such a long time i found the Eden server and i want to try that. But i barely remember anything about DAOC. I love to play Assassin/Rogue type classes in mmorpgs. Any recommendations?

And is there any good guides either websites or YouTube channels i should watch to start with DAOC? Such an old mmorpg is often not very new player friendly and have old menus etc.

Ty mates!

Breaking-eden-podcast

Arthuur and Tungstenman has released an Eden server oriented podcast mainly (atleast the first episode) from the perspective of Albion. Worth a listen!

Template Builder

I know there used to be a temp builder website for live, but has anyone made one for Eden. If not is there a good place to find temps for Eden?

DAOC logo for your desktop (Free 3D printable files)

Midgard, Albion and Hibernia are all represented, so you can choose your realm to print!

I'm working on getting depictions of Towers for each faction (making 3D models), to go on the end of the holder - it can stand alone, but is easily tipped over 😁

I will update the file on Makerworld when I have some towers to add.

https://makerworld.com/en/models/674890#profileId-602924

If you are in Denmark and wish for one of these for your desk, let me know.

Returning recommended?

Idk about anyone else in this community, but I was raised on DAoC. My parents had a 20 man guild that did everything together, and I'd hear them every night before I went to bed always having a blast. By 6 years old (2002) I had a few classes of every realm. By 9 I had a specific build for each pvp area from 25-29, 35-39, 45-49 and NF. At some point between 12-14 years old, my parents had a close friend in the guild pass away and the drive for everyone to play fell away. It wasn't until I was 21 years old taking care of my dad who had brain cancer that we came back and played for about 6 months before he got too sick to keep playing. Then, right after he passed away, they announced the launch of DAOC Unchained and proclaimed that the servers were shutting down for this game. Now, 4 years later I'm craving the pvp again so badly, and happened to Google the game and found this sub-reddit. So for a diehard original fan of this game, is it worth coming back to?

Telperion guard

I played at launch, and have played off and on over the years on live and free shards. My main was champ named maximusxi and played on gawaine. I am wondering if anyone from the old guild is still around. Lakeonn, Etainni, Pudwick, and a few others I cannot even get close to the spelling on their names. I have never played in an mmo with a group of people as great as they were.
