a little bit late i enter this tread but ok my opinion,Xest wrote: Essentially, I do not beleive anyone who works a realistic week which is by far the majority of players can't realistically compete in DAoC anymore. .
i work between 50-60 hours a week, have two kids a wife, play daoc 2-3 nights a week.
Alex is now RR5 (its a good rank atm in prydwen) nearly fully ToA'd(missing still C Bracer) and some MP boots and some scrolls for an other arti, im ML8 (till Nov 2004)
Alex is realy competitive in RVR solo and in a group im doing quite well.
Yes thats my only lvl 50 char here(i have some others in lower levels), but i have a goal bringing one char as far as its fun,
the problem is some people think they have to get a RR5 char fully equipped in 3 week's-->if you will try this you will (only 24/7players not) fail
and btw i have another guildy wich works same ammount of time (if not more) and is RR6
