From Camelot Herald:

Would you be interested in playing on a new Dark Age of Camelot server that does the following?

* Brings back the Old Frontiers territory
* Brings back the old Keeps, Relics, and related systems
* Does not include the following systems or components:
o Master levels
o Champion levels
o Artifacts
o Minotaur Relics
o Champion weapons
o Mythirians
* Focuses on the "classic" zone territories that existed prior to the expansion packs
* Focuses mainly on the class types that existed prior to the expansion packs
* No buffbots, but rather a universally available buffing option

Answers:
I am a current subscriber and would play on this new server type.
I am a former subscriber and would come back to play on this new server type.
I am a current subscriber and enjoy where I play. I don't need a new server type.
I have not played Dark Age of Camelot, but I may check it out for this new server type.
Maybe.
No thanks.

OMG. New Frontiers is what ruined DAOC for me. Took away my purpose in life, plus the new RA's hurt me as a shadowblade alot. If they do this in the near future...I will probably go back and play at least part time there until WAR comes out (or if some reason WAR flops, which I doubt)

So Go VOTE!

I like the idea. If it opened tomorrow, I could imagine actually starting over there. BUT... I'm afraid by the time it actually happens, Warhammer open beta will be ready to start.

What Gisli said. I spent a lot of time learning those frontiers. I bet I could still navigate them with my monitor turned off.

For me, ToA, NF and the new RAs added a bunch of new crap that detracted from the essence of what made the combat fun and shortened the duration of fights. I know a lot of people complained about standoffs at milegates, but I didn't mind those.

We didn't need more powerful RAs, more complex terrain, a larger pvp map, or more things to fight over. And all that was amplified by the already insane ToA artifacts and abilities.

Unless they really screw something up on the OF server, I will renew and play there until WAR is released.

I found some good videos on truveo of OF combat.

Blood & Wine video against us right after ToA launch ->

Another decent video from a hibbie perspective (server unknown)

If anyone knows of a better archive of old DAoC OF videos, let me know. I remember there used to be a ton of them for Percival.

The question I've had about it is what is meant by "focus" on the pre-expansion zones and classes. That they are not listed in the "removed" section implies they will still be there.
