So far it has been amazing. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you've taken, I wish for this server to grow nicely with a happy and enjoyable community!

Yep, perfect launch even? 👍

Yep, the three of us had a great time yesterday and can't wait to continue xping today, thank you very much Uthred, Vivien, Schaf and all the others!

I agree. As someone who develops software and understand the pressure to get things to work and get them out on time. Yesterday was a testament to all the team involved in getting Pheonix running.

I'd say more but I want to get back on the server.

Server is great in pretty much every aspect.

It seems like the Phoenix staff has succeeded in what no one has really been able to achieve in over 15 years: to give the Classic DAoC community a true home again!

Thank you!

Agree !

Feels good to retrieve a real pleasure to play this game. And thank you for the brilliant features you've developed to make it even more interesting (calculated loots, craft, tasks and more !!)

You rock !

Amazing. Well done. My group of 4 was extremely skeptical following the last couple of classic server launches. But we were all very impressed with the experience you have created. You guys have really captured what made DAOC fun, and added great QoL that has virtually no negative affect.

The design decision to not focus on itemization and quest implementation, and instead focus on taking the base 1.65 patch level and balancing it, AND adding features such as ROG, realm tasks, etc... just well done is all I can say.

Dear Devs,

This should have 100 times the replies. I never thought I would experience old school DAoC again and you have nailed it. Me and some old buddies are having a blast reliving the past. So a sincere thank you to everyone that made this possible!

Chiming in! Had SO much fun last night revisiting old haunts and playing again. It's been a looong time, but still is a great game and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Thank you so much for your efforts and hard work!

Congratulations for such a smooth start. Well done

Was such a fun weekend—really great job by the Phoenix team. Bravo guys, you should be proud

Very smooth launch and start ; with intelligent changes and additions made in the spirit of the game.

Congratulations to all the team behind Phoenix !

Guys, you should set up an online piggy bank, so we could throw some money to cover your beers and cookies expanses.

For sure, looking very good so far! Leveling and crafting seem very solid, looking forward to frontier RvR.

Really gratifying to see so many bugs fixed and community suggestions taken seriously. Mythic/EA/Broadsword were never that responsive, and we all paid them a bunch of money over the years! :-)

Mon 14 Jan 2019 5:51 AM by Kaedius

Fantastic work! One of my favorite unexpectedly great changes was simply removing the base classes, as well as not treating respecs like they should be the hardest things to do in the game. Plenty of other QOL that just make the game far more accessible and fun. Look forward to all the great times to come!

Mon 14 Jan 2019 9:03 AM by Terrence

I agree, big thank you for the devs!

Fantastic start, great performance, the two times the server went down didn't really matter. So many changes make perfect sense, it's really balanced in a way classic Daoc never was. Classes make sense, group composition is more flexible, exp speed feels about right, there are much fewer unnecessary time sinks. Nobody has to ride to the spot for 10 minutes, you don't have to go back to town to train and get your skills...

I've only played a little bit yesterday but I'm looking forward to playing a lot over the coming months.

Amazing Stability even with hundreds in close proximity. /salute and a Big Thanks.

Mon 14 Jan 2019 11:14 AM by jg777

What a great staff, community, and server. Reliving the past almost two decades ago with a fantastic game brought back to the modern MMORPG era with some great QoL additions and hindsight class balancing. I’m having such a great time!

Mon 14 Jan 2019 1:58 PM by Hector

Server is excellent: stable, thousands of players, groups all over the place.
Very job well done on creating this server. I have a feeling Phoenix will last for years to come

Mon 14 Jan 2019 2:29 PM by Guetzli

Also a big thank you from me. Really impressive what you achieved!

Mon 14 Jan 2019 3:18 PM by Snoogy

Friggin awesome server look forward to many hours leveling my Ranger

Mon 14 Jan 2019 4:35 PM by wax66

Freaking. Amazing.

I've played a ton of MMOs, and that was a top-tier smooth launch.

And gawwwwd am I stoked to be playing DAoC again! I could hug you guys...

/salute!

I know the sayings about not being able to step into the same river twice and recapturing the past, but just passing that log in Ardee I choked up.

Thanks!

Mon 14 Jan 2019 5:13 PM by BisbyHoughton

Definitely one of the smoothest launches of a freeshard I have ever seen. Looking forward to spending a lot of time here.

Wed 16 Jan 2019 12:19 AM by Halcon

Thanks Devs! Way better loot and XP than at launch in 2001. I don't even think there was loot beyond gold past the Albion Barrows then...

Wed 16 Jan 2019 3:22 PM by PingGuy

I'm very impressed by this project. Lots of thanks for putting it together and running it so smoothly.

Wed 16 Jan 2019 3:32 PM by Duckman

Want to add my thanks and kudos on an amazingly smooth launch. Very stable and minimal issues. Active oversight by mods (hi again, Clockwork). An excellent experience all the way around.

Wed 16 Jan 2019 3:34 PM by Auberne

Thank you for all your hard work. This is a trip down memory lane for me and even though I still play live, this is just what I was looking for as a way to get back to the days when was unmarried and still had a 34 inch waist.

Wed 16 Jan 2019 6:57 PM by Brokenstring

Thanks Devs for the hard work and being open to community suggestions. Server has been pretty good so far in my experiences this week. Really appreciate all the work that goes into this.

My only minor gripe is I feel the XP is probably a touch too fast, but only due to the strength of the XP items. They really are a necessity for leveling (probably a touch on the OP side, imo), unless you want the leveling experience to feel closer to old classic (the XP tasks broken down by mob type was a good idea)! I'd rather the leveling be a touch fast than too slow though.

Thank you!

Thank you for flooding my nostalgia sensors once more

Fri 18 Jan 2019 2:49 PM by Mike504

Been a week now almost. I've only experienced one crash and seen tons of people every night, very active chats and lots of groups. This is as close to how the game felt the first time I played it as I could have hoped for. I really hope this momentum continues, I'm having a blast.

Sat 19 Jan 2019 11:38 AM by MadDog

I want to thanks devs too !

love you guys
