pryd/exc is a sunken ship.
Classic is the only thing keeping euro daoc alive atm & it will prob keep those numbers for sometime so i wouldnt hold ya breath thinking peeps will return to the ToA servers anytime soon, US classic still has over 3k peeps on it prime time, but the ToA clusters in US are also still 10x more lively than euro.
do a /who <insert lvl number here!> & it always returns with names so finding xp grps = easy, even when not prime time in US. Funny thing is people on US say its not as buzy as it was since classic!, yet theres still over 3k on ToA servers to :-) ...mid alone (which is the under populated realm) has about 600+ prime time :-)
cant remember the last time hib/pryd had 600+ \o/
Also US jus had the ToA patch which makes scrolls/artis alot easier
...people are farming scrolls that were once rare (such as RS/MT etc) & they getting 2 or 3 of em within 1/2 an hour
....So finally ToA is not a thing to put me off making new chars anymore!
May sound like im going on a bit about US, but ive been on us over 1 month now & im 100% happy with the way its ran compared to euro, little downtime/always buzy & it actually feels like an mmorpg! Only thing im not happy about, is i didnt leave euro long ago to go US tbh.
As said, GoA have sunk there own ship with the amount of f00ks over the past...no matter whos fault it was, it was upto GoA to sort it pronto & it never was, even now people still waiting from the DB fook up, this alone says it all.
One thing i have learnt though, is i will never touch any other mmorpg which has the GoA stamp on it, because they have no clue how to run one properly.
bops
