It's nice to dream though, isn't it?

Landroval was my server from the days of Open Beta, and I have to agree that there's really no comparison when it comes to server-wide maturity and helpfulness. Even the PvP community, which is where I spent most of my time, was top-notch.

No server will ever be perfect, but Landroval is something special.

Fellow Galahadian Mid here, I well remember The Knightwatch and was fortunate enough to group with them a number of times in their 8-mans because they were short a Skald. Some of the best bunch of guys I've ever run with.

I feel like I've been wandering the MMO-scape for years ever since the release of ToA, trying to find the next DAoC. It seemed the perfect mesh of PvE and PvP, back before anybody really made a distinction. There was just as much realm pride in taking down the dragon as capturing a relic or kicking the Albs out of DF. It truly felt as though your realm was at war from the very beginning of the game, even though you couldn't really PvP until much later. Perhaps BECAUSE you couldn't PvP until much later, we all went out to the frontier as early and as much as possible just dreaming of the day in which we could assist our realm in the fight.

A second DAoC, bringing back the 3 realms and the frontiers and the ridiculous CC that allowed a well-organized group of 8 or 16 to take down a zerg of 40+ if they got the jump on them, would be amazing. However, that game also had a certain magic to it (maybe its just the aggregate nostalgia factor after 7 years) that would be hard to bring back. The market has changed, the community has changed, and frankly, I think it's safe to say Mythic broke too many hearts with WAR.
