To learn how to use a sword, one must first master when to use a sword.

 DAoC still has the best RvR system out there, even better than WAR (although WAR is awesome, do not get me wrong). Mythic knows what they are doing, and the definitely know when they do something wrong, and they learn from it. Personally, I would love to see a "DAoC 2" in terms of it having similar mechanics as the original DAoC. The feel of DAoC is one which I have always loved and no other game could give me, and they did not try to mimic it with WAR, because they were not trying to make a DAoC 2. 

What about a Golden Age of Camelot game? It would be a prequel, taking place in the time when Arthur was still alive. Still three realms fighting eachother on even ground, but this would be Albion's golden age. The Hibernian nation would be rising to power, the nordic tribes coming together to form Midgard. Similar maps, simlar mechanics- but it would still be a whole new game.

Before WOW, there were MMORPG''s. After WOW there were online solo single RPG''s.

Whether a prequel or simply a vast reworking of the same game and a relaunch, either would work for me.

I do think that with Arthur gone, the players step onto center stage, rather than being wannabe squires were Arthur alive and his great knights still assembled.

DAOC was a great game.

I totally agree.  DAoC rocks.  I've said it for a couple of years now.  Mythic should just update the graphics and make the UI a little more use friendly (no forcing of slash commands to do things) and just re-release the greatest pvp game of all time.  I guess they could always change the setting, perhaps to some other medievil-type theme.  Although, I do love the lore they had in the game with Camelot and the storyline quests.  I'm not sure you could do it with any other story as well, but they are Mythic, they can do it!  Maybe something as far back as roman times

Yep, i agree, DAOC was a wonderful game. I think tthe Golden Age of Camelot would be a wonderful idea. Just a massive reworking of all the badass shit.

Oh $OEs invovlved?
No thx then

DAOC was my favorite all time I went back to it three times after checking other games. It just got tired as all games do. I think when they were offered the chance to rework WAR and send it out  they hopped on it as a table to work out there next DAOC. But I could be wrong. They could really go in any direction with it. I see mythic as far ahead seeing. I don't think war really worked as well as something that was stricktly built by and for them. I look forward to whatever is next.

Nice thought but there is just not enough people who would play. DAOC and WAR have no numbers playing.

"The Dark Age of Camelot game is only the first in a series of products that we intend to do based on the Arthurian legends," Jacobs concluded, "This is only the beginning."

The BBC has been running a series call Merlin (with a young Merlin and Arthur) where Uther Pendragon is king. It has been an impressive series. So I would like to see a pre-quel to DAoC, it would really work well I think.
