Ok, first of all, DaoC, or any game for that matter is what you make of it
Except in the case of MMORPG's where it's what everyone makes of it. But, please, continue.
i completely disagree with the fact every class is the same
Good for you. I played DAoC for nearly a year and experimented with different classes and different realms. I didn't say every class was the same, I said they felt like photocopies of eachother. There really is a difference between those two statements, whether you're able to understand that or not.
you decided to do nothing but level
No, I didn't. Don't be a jackass. There just wasn't much else to do or accomplish. Once you've seen every place there is to see for your current level/character, completed the twenty quests you're limited to (and if you're lucky, tackled your epic), what's left? You find yourself in need of leveling up just so you'll have quests again and maybe be strong enough to survive exploring out a little bit further.
in no way does one class even come NEAR another class
Saying it makes it so!
, their in the same class only because their dividied between Spellcasting, Summoning, and Melee, but i digress, i NO way, whatsoever are they the same in any way
You're drooling all over your shirt. Next time when trying to make a point, try not to contradict yourself in the process. It's embarrasing for the rest of us.
you played it like a treadmill, and did nothing but level
There you go making stupid assumptions again.
if i understand correctly
I doubt this is a problem you often find yourself afflicted with.
...snip, more retarded assumptions.
experience the Battlefields, which are almost the core of the game
Not the only advertised core to the game, though. Part of the hype and marketing behind DAoC was that PvP (RvR) would be entirely optional. I found the RvR to be boring and dull, so excuse me for apparently not enjoying the only part of the game that Mythic can arguably be said to have followed through on.
the huge battles between extreme numbers of players and castle sieges.
...dropping framerates to a 2FPS slidehsow. Yawn.
you leveled to 20
There's your assumption again. Let me guess, you frequently go out in public with no pants on, don't you?
Btw, when i said cheapskates, i was mostly referring to the people in the USA, as they have enough to shell out 50 $ for freelancer, while for the same money, you get DAOC for 20 $, and get 3 months of play time
When I bought DAoC it was $50. But that doesn't matter, I still believe the price was not worth the gameplay provided. There simply is not enough gameplay, and at the end of the day if you stop paying you can nolonger play. Sometimes I like to put down a game for a month, sometimes even a year, and come back to it later. You can't really do that with MMORPG's. Once you put it down, it's gone. You'll have to start paying to play again, and you'll have to start from the ground up. To me that makes this gaming model a rip off and I'm not willing to join that sort of gaming model ever again.
their NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER over 13 bucks a month
A better cost evaluation is in order.
Doom: purchased for $20.
Played for two years as an active member of the mod community.
Total cost: $20
Now lets apply that to your precious DAoC.
DAoC: purchased for $20
Played for two years (no, I played it for a little less than one year, but lets see how much that would cost compared to Doom's $20 when played for the same duration)
$319
Yes, over $300 compared to $20. That's quite a difference.
and you get the kind of game quality and updates you can NEVER EVER EVER EVER get in a single-player/Multiplayer games.
Not true. Seriously.
and for the guy who said mythic support sucks, yeah, that was true, about...........oh.....a year ago, when it first launched they were completely disorganized
So they got their act together finally? Yay for them. Do I get a refund now? I'll go check my mailbox.
i just dont like the fact people can say that a certain genre sucks
Why does this bother you so much?
because, if you ignore every genre except certain favorite ones, youll miss many many many a great game, even games that may suck you in to new genres.
Oh, that's why it bothers you? Thanks for coming in and saving us from ourselves Sir Knight. No , it bothers you because you've gone and tied your Ego to a GAME (like many people here have tied their ego's to FL and wet their undies in rage anytime someone has a negative comment about it). This is a mistake. It's unhealthy. Why? Because at the end of the day DAoC is still a putrid pile of filth, which will undoubtedly lead to another spike in your blood pressure.
