I guess it might be for some, but I want hibernia to be for hibernians and the other 2 realms to be for their own kind. Thats what I like about daoc :) I dont like pvp cos of realm mixing either. (I wonder if next step will be me starting to yell in german and tell the hibs 'one realm, one frontier, one leader!' cos I realized that I sound abit nazi when I reason like this :P)

what people like me fail to understand is, whats the point of getting all the good gear and lvling up if you cant destroy enemy players at the end of it?
anyway, im sure ive had this argument before. The quests in daoc are a bit 2 dimensional. go collect 10- worm fangs, or go and obliterate some name mod which dosent have any different abilites than normal mobs. Fair enough, i can see your point that you can access all areas which is pretty nifty, but there is no real combat apart from with mobs, which dosent require any skill at all.

That's exactly how I feel. I mean, I wouldnt mind a game without RvR/PvP - but to make that any interesting at all they really need to change the PvE part to make it more exciting. Don't get me wrong, I like the PvE part of daoc too but it's just that to make the PvE part fun you need to have a goal (to get ready for RvR atm or harvest items for your RvR chars) and not just reach ML10/LVL50 and then continue PvE without gaining anything..

There are still frontier zones and keep takes - the keeps are full of higher level mobs that test your skills. Not been on one yet because they are mainly for 40+ toons. You get realm points from these keep fights but you also get 1 realm skill point per level from level 20 upwards.

I appreciate this type of play is not for everyone, but it is a different approach to the normal one, and is a nice alternative for people like me who aren't that good at, or committed to RvR.
