On cue, Mythic released the news. But it’s more than just the return of the Choppa and the unveiling of the new Slayer. They’ve also announced a Darkness Falls type zone/dungeon, something the old DAoC community has been clamouring for.
Looking back at what the community has asked for since release, it’s a pretty interesting story. Almost everything we’ve asked for has been introduced. From class balancing, client/server improvements, to server performance and now soon zone domination, Slayer class and the spiritual successor to Darkness Falls. And all within a handful of months of launch, in the midst of a world recession, a WoW expansion and unprecedented competition in the MMO space. I’m rather stunned, actually.
A thought that has occurred to me, and popped up in the community as well, is why not enable an XP lock option that would let us prevent our character from levelling past a Tier. Many, if not most, WAR players right now who enjoy the ORvR have taken an interesting stand. They’ve rerolled and are staying within the lower tiers as long possible.
So I’m re-re-rerolling. This is something completely new to me. Previously I was never big into alts or rerolls. I’d make a character, level it to the cap ASAP, and begin work on the gearing process. Potentially looking at a new char months down the line.
A few things I’d love to see as a Witch Elf this year. Granted I’m still relatively noobish to this class so much of it may be without merit. But that’s why I have a blog. To post unbiased, raving random demands.
