DAOC is a realm based game Each server has 3 realms Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard.
If you are albion you are against the hibs and mids etc etc.
Paladins suck.
I play on bedevere Midgard have several 50's my main is a Hunter I prefer the stealth game.
DAOC is a awesome game was alot better before some of the expansions but hell they gotta make a buck to.
If you come to DAOC hit my email I will give you my characters names and I will help you out some if you are wanting to play on my realm that is.
DAOC sounds like the shit. It also has a very reasonable monthly fee if the $12.95/month I saw somewhere is correct. When I do start playing I will definitely hit up your email since I like the Midgard classes the best and it is always cool to know people who have played for a while. I think my first characters classes will be Thane, Shadowblade, and Hunter.
