Well, now, I likes the EQ, as the EQ is better than the mud.

This weekend, my friend tim came over, and let me play a lil DAoC....

Well, now, I like the DAoC, as the DAoC is better than the EQ.

heres why:

1. My Paladin will not be a weenie
2. My backstabber will look like a backstabber and not what every warrior looks like but in black
3. you can solo
4. see three
5. it looks sexah

let the flames begin anew...

DAoC is superior to EQ in almost every way.

EQ is still more fun for some god forsaken reason.

1. by not a weenie, I meant not a weenie, his effectiveness will be used, but in its use...he will not be a weenie

2. the race for bsers is pretty exclusive, thus they all look like bsers, while in EQ you have a 7 foot tall barbarian pretending to be stealthy *rolls eyes* and who said I'd go with black? scarlet pimpernickel (pun intended) baby

3. better to have to group at 40 then to have to group at 15

4. see three

5. it looks sexah, this is an opinoin, I feel it looks sexah, you can't tell me I'm wrong, nya

My Beastlord solos. I can see him soloing until late 40's.

My warrior solos, slowly. I can see him solo to mid 30's, before it becomes horrificly slow.

My enchanter sol... wait, that was a dream.

Past level 30 or so, the game becomes terrible. RvR finally becomes fun, but there was only 1, yes 1, place to hutn worth any xp or loot at level 34. Spindehalla. I don't care if you and your l334 friends found a better place, I only found one. And, I'm a pretty casual MMORPG gamer, and it was hard to get a group for short enouygh time for me.

Warrior, massive.

Beastlord. None by me, being on a different server from Skaw. I did get some PSUs from Lash, but eventually, I'd have been able to buy my own by now.

Monks can solo up to L60 with a good weapon.

Necromancers can solo up to L60 with stacks of bonechips.

Druids can solo up to L60, naked.

If they can all survive the insane boredom.

Every class can solo to 60, under a set of different conditions. Enchanters can go to 60 off of extremely low Magic Resistant mobs, lots of them on Luclin.

The way I see it, DAoC is a lot more fun to actually play than EQ, but has (or had, last I checked) much less content. That's what killed it for me.

(that, and the inability to communicate with players in other realms)

It's the amount content and the drive to explore it that makes a game addictive.

let us learn from the lesson of verant mara.

Content is easier to apply than good gameplay

I could squeeze more content out of a blister then verant could counter with gameplay, both a comment on how easy content is to make, and how much better daoc is than eq

Oh I fully agree. Check out the title yo, I do think DAoC is better made than EQ, I'm just waiting for it to ripen a bit.

I believe I said before that all the new content in EQ is just more layers over a foundation that really wasn't that great to begin with. DAoC is a better foundation, I'm just waiting for the layers.

so how much content do you really need, personall, I'd rather group with 3 other people I know rl than be able to talk about some wizard who made this spell and did this

dark age offers more than eq, so why are you still eq's bitch eh eh?

you, me, tim, erik, one group baby, you will play, oh yes, you will play

Dude! I SO have DAoC already! All I need to do is reactivate the account

Thing is, I don't like being unable to jump in cities or anywhere that isn't flat on the ground, I don't like the lack of variety in mobs, I don't like the lack of variety in equipment, and I don't like how small the land area in each realm is.

Have they made any headway in these areas since I quit playing four months ago?

You can jump in cities now, they have some new models for a few of the monsters, if you think the land area is too small, then obviously you haven't done a whole lot of exploring, at least in Hibernia, as for the lack of variety in equipment, you'll just have to suffer

Not a whole hell of a lot of spells in DAoC either, come to think of it.

Sounds a great deal like a certain other game. Actually each class in DAoC has a much wider range of spells and abilities than was available in EQ, depending on class choices and how you spend your spec points. About the only thing EQ has that it lacks is summon item spells and ports, while on the other hand, it has horses for quicker, safer conyeyance for a pittance of cash...

I believe someone here stated it before. DAoC has what EQ lacks but lacks some of what EQ has.

In DAoC, each caster class, when spec'd 100% in a skill, gets 3 types of spells from that skill, and they just get upgrades as they go on.
