Happy to be back playing DAoC after about 12 or so years. I played Mordred PvP server back in the day for 5+ years (classic through Catacombs). I missed this game so much I bought a gaming laptop to play it again. Nothing competes with how much fun DAoC combat is. Looking forward to levelling up and seeing everyone in RvR!

I wouldn't. The game is not what you think. Sure it'll be nostalgic for first 2-3 months. THe design choices on this server and the people running have killed any progress on this server.

Welcome, you come at a bad time i must say, Phoenix is not really daoc, not what daoc truly was. It has always been about equal gear and buffs to all in pvp, phoenix was nice in the beginning, but bad decision making has lead it to where it is now.
Daoc was not just about 8 mans, everyone wanted a bite of the cake, stealther groups used buffbots to create groups and guilds of only stealthers to compete with 8 mans, as a scout in the early days my job was to interupt support classes only while the rest took the group down, i lost count on how many groups we took down as Deadly Shadows on Prydwen.
3-4 man waited in the bushes and trees and when the 8 man was busy we used our highly experienced sorcerer to mezz while the rest assist trained the group to death, it was not adding as groups called it back then, just good tactics. There's no such thing as adding in warfare.
having played daoc for nearly two decades i have been a part of every aspect and all of them had their place in daoc, even ranged stealthers which most groups despise.
You don't have this on Phoenix because the devs here mostly cater to 8 man groups, many free shards has done this over the years, it usually ends up being a few groups running around in new frontier because everyone else left, that's not daoc.
With the classic server coming live is going to be your best bet for old frontier and equal buffs and gear to all, which has always been a core mechanic of daoc.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna be out of line.
I see a lot of people talking about a new "official" server like back then. But what do we know about it? Is there a date or something ?

Wonderful words. Maybe a bit too harsh but they explain quite well the situation here. Yesterday evening we inced an Alb FG near Mid poc, they kited us for a while and a FG hib inced from behind. They sandwiched us, of course, and when we were all dead they just.... DISENGAGED and Hibs went away.
What is this? Is this Daoc? Not at all. This is some kind of childish game "we want to play this way", and then they come whining when they get zerged because, you know, Daoc is an arena game made only by 8vs8

all your fault for not belonging in their circle
they could have had an 8vs8 fight with you but since you don't belong to the circle you get shat on
that's their honor code

It's players like these with their elite 8v8 circles who ruin the gameplay for everyone.
This type of bullshit just shouldn't be allowed.
