Countdown Thread!!!! - Phoenix Freeshard

3 days, 2 hours to go!!!!

And darnit....still can't decide on animist or mentalist!!!

Wed 9 Jan 2019 3:02 PM by Mac

I think yer timing is off a bit... It's 2 days and 20 hours from now. Noon CET on Saturday.

Here's a quick & Dirty Count down timer

Wed 9 Jan 2019 3:20 PM by astean

It could very well be off. I could have read wrong but I thought it launches at noon on Saturday eastern time. Which would be 11 a.m. Saturday morning where I live. In that case it would make it 3 days 1 hour and 40 minutes from now. But again I've only had one cup of coffee and that could very well be the biggest issue with all of this :-)

Wed 9 Jan 2019 3:22 PM by Anaethema

The game launches at noon CET.. central EUROPEAN time.

Which is 6am Eastern or 5am Central. Better set your alarm!!

Wed 9 Jan 2019 3:24 PM by astean

Yup, my bad:
"We are very excited to see you again and to welcome our new players on Saturday, January 12th, 2019 at 12pm CET (i.e. noon in Berlin, 6am New York, 3am San Francisco and 10pm in Sydney) when Phoenix will finally go live."

So it launches 5am where i live. So 2 days 19 hours ish.

Lol! I love this game but I love my sleep more!

Wed 9 Jan 2019 3:27 PM by Anaethema

<--- will have my alarm set for 4:30am so I can make coffee before the server goes live...

Hey how about adding a countdown timer to our home page?

Wed 9 Jan 2019 4:09 PM by Pedro

Yeah I counted wrong..thought it was 5pm Central, not 5am Central...I'll miss all morning and part of the afternoon

Oh well, a good game is like a good wine, you enjoy slowly and gets better with age

Wed 9 Jan 2019 4:27 PM by Sepplord

hey, at least you counted wrong in the "good" direction for this case...

it's starting earlier

Imagine the other way, siting down finally able to log in and then the server isn't there....and then you find out you have to wait ANOTHER SIX HOURS

Wed 9 Jan 2019 6:42 PM by Lairirian

Here is a link to two countdowns (bookmarkable).

https://www.epochconverter.com/countdown?q=1547290800

https://timestamp.online/countdown/1547290800

The server opens at 11am (GMT) on Saturday. Assuming that I have converted the time zone correctly. CET = GMT + 1 hour.

At 11am GMT, it will be noon in Berlin/CET.

Wed 9 Jan 2019 6:51 PM by Tyton

Alarm set for 5:50 a.m.

New DAoC server > an extra hour or two of sleep.

Got 4 of us with alarm set for 4am. Tried to sleep in but the rest didn’t want to.

Wed 9 Jan 2019 8:31 PM by Afuldan

Unless I can sneakily set an alarm and somehow not wake up the wife and kids, I won’t even be playing launch weekend I think.

Wed 9 Jan 2019 8:53 PM by randomeclipse

Just found out about Phoenix! Looking forward to Saturday.

One of my friends still plays Live and found out about it on there 👍.

Wed 9 Jan 2019 11:03 PM by Brokenstring

Man it's been quite a few months since I've played DAoC on that other server, but the nightmare grind it possessed has me so burnt out still I'm practically an ash pile from DAoC. Still looking forward to the new server launch, and I'll be signed on and playing some. Good job devs!

Thu 10 Jan 2019 1:40 AM by astean

Leveling is almost...fun. This comes from a pvp/rvr person. Gear drops are abundant. Add to that a merchant and vault you can carry on your pack and life is good! Don't worry, it's nothing like that other free shard.

damn now i know what i forgot to check out during stresstest.
Where do i get those portable versions? And how much do they cost? (is it a luxury good for later chars, or is it something to pick up early during levelling of the first char?)

Can anyone interact with them when i put them down? Or does everyone have to get their own mobile-NPC?

Thu 10 Jan 2019 9:51 AM by Anaethema

You can get them in the capital cities for something like 500g each and once placed on the ground anyone can interact with them.

Thu 10 Jan 2019 9:55 AM by Silentblade

well the small merchant only costs 50g and is enough for selling

Anyone can use your merchant when you pop it. So ONE pocket merchant per group works well.
The 50G version is a one time use merchant so... the first thing after popping one is to buy a new one from it! So, in essence you're never without merchant access.

Thu 10 Jan 2019 10:43 AM by Sepplord

Okay, thanks, so 50g per use...or 500g for the permanent one

that sounds really really awesome

Thu 10 Jan 2019 10:52 AM by Kaziera

Also you can buy Merchants from Merchants

For just a moment there I thought you said UTHRED almost killed my love for Daoc! Uthred is one of the good guys!

Yeah Uthgard and in special Blue is / was very important for DAoC Freeshardscene and i am very thankfull for him.
He developed DOL with others and without Blue, no Freeshards in current state imho.
But sadly the Uthgard staff invited wrong persons into the staff and made bad goals for their server.
Tajendi was the best and very impressing custom area so far i´ve ever seen.

All the stoneage patchdogmatic killed Uthgard and ofc, their arrogance and hybris.
A upcoming freeshard destroys Uth1 and another upcoming freeshard destroy Uthgard2 in short or give them a serious competition.
But people will prefer the original and fact is: Without Phoenix Uthgard would not changed their settings.
Phoenix is what Uthgard could be.
Phoenix stand for innovations, Uthgard stands for patchcopy.

Those who not learning from the history are forced to repeat.

Fri 11 Jan 2019 8:53 AM by relvinian

You need to have open communication with your players.

The customer may not always be right but they should always feel heard.

That being said, I feel that phoenix does listen, even to its more whiny players.

I'm looking forward to dying horribly in as many ways as possible and donating my rps in embarrassing ways soon.

Fri 11 Jan 2019 11:02 AM by Mac

WOOT! 24 hours to go!

Fri 11 Jan 2019 11:14 AM by Patron

RIP Tajendi, RIP AMG Hobbos in Emain, RIP Uthalis

Love DAoC forever!

Is that where the server is physically located, Denmark?

Fri 11 Jan 2019 3:29 PM by Patron

I´ve had a good time on Uthgard 1 till patchdownrubish but Uthgard 2 is no longer an option for me, thanks Phoenix!

But i am very thankfully what Blue did for the DAoC freeshardcommunity and the work, time and passion which we got from Uthgard-staff.
Even the Uthstaff is a bunch of retards in my humble opinion.

Play on

Fri 11 Jan 2019 7:24 PM by Inside

Uthgard has remained in the past, Pheonix looks to the future

The server is in Germany but I live in Denmark and I made the countdown so...

Denmark, Germany, France, Italy etc are all in same time zone.
