Unless they make a daoc 2 revert back to a 'tactics and skill' rather than an 'items and templates' game then I doubt i will generate much interest in it tbh. I lost most of my love for the game when it changed from 'what spell/style' shall i use to what ability shall i use on my axe? The one that prevents every other attack hitting or the one that improves my damage by 50% and reduces his by 50% thus garunteeing I will kill him? hmm' type game.
Mythic seem to be concentrating on trying to take some of WoW's market but tbh WoW does the WoW type game so well that I can't ever see them (or anyone) pulling it off. They should stick to what they're known for and do RvR based games.
Personally i would be more excited about a Ultima online 2 game, as i don't really trust mythic anymore.
They should imo release Origins as a new game, with an advertizing campaign like WAR. And the voice in the trailer, goes sort of like:
"Now everyone has a chance to find out what was so great about Dark Age of Camelot. Without having to struggle to compete with the old players armed to their teeth with their, for a newcomer, almost unachievable abilities and supreme equipment. Now everyone start from scratch, everyone, even you, will be given the chance to reach the top.
Set back to the times of the Old Frontier, the mythical battlefield from the elders' memories. Where it all happened when Dark Age of Camelot was at the peak of it's heights. You will get to experience, what everyone's been talking about when referring to the greatest RvR play of all mmorpgs. For those who missed it the last time, now is your chance!"
I still don't understand why goa opened the Spanish&Italian servers as im guessing a bit portion of those players originally played on the uk servers? i just don't think that its a good move in the game.
Lets laugh a bit for the making of those servers:
Hahahhahahahah! hehe ha hoho hi hah
I daoc2 would be great! And this time, advertise!
Aslong as they don't try copy WoW, I can't stand playing mmorpgs that has a leveling system based on crappy quests.
Let it be like daoc was, full groups leveling, and meetpoints like Spindelhalla, Nisse etc. NOT quests: Go kill 3 bears, then loads of xp. Then everyone will just go solo, and the game will be boring like all other games with that setup.

DAoC 2 is the only way we'll ever get back to what we want tbh. I don't see the fascination with Origins/OF etc. NF was alright, just needed perma i-RvR (which they fixed too late with Labby - good idea too late). Classic servers fixed all the big problems with post-TOA DaoC and was the best time I had in game both on the EU and US in terms of RvR. The guild on all servers was amazing but ofc we were at our best on Excal
Origins... eeking the most cash out of people where they can. Get to work on DAoC 2 fuckers! Everything else is just weak even their latest effort, Warhammer
