![]() ![]() The following steps walk you through the process of adding a user and database using MariaDB. The following sections outline the process of preparing your machine to develop, build, and run an OpenDAoC server: IMPORTANT: Check the Environment Requirements section first as you will not be able to complete certain sections without the proper resources or privileges. These configurations may be likewise performed and a local server run on macOS, with some minor alterations-though you'll need either a Windows or an emulation setup to run the DAoC client. Instructions currently exist regarding setups for both Ubuntu and Windows operating systems. New players can get 2 weeks so why not try it and find me in game.The following instructions should act as a guide for properly setting up a development environment to fetch and push file changes with GitHub as well as build and run a DAoC server successfully. I look forward to trying all aspects of the game. Back in the day I spent most of the time with PvE. I was never much into the PvP or PvR aspects of the game. I have several pure melee characters, along with a fine array of magic users. I am woefully forgetful of how to play all of my toons. I need to find a good source of tactics, strategy, and hints. I am really going to enjoy all the zones again. I remember older places but not much about them. I also started in a new realm with a few new guys just to play the game from a different perspective. Upon my return I found most of my old characters. MMO companies with RMT don’t stay in business from free players. Its like the gambler who says he never spends more than 50 bucks or the guy who says he wins all the time - Vegas was not built on winners. I have never found a player that strictly played for free in those RMT worlds - they say they do, but on closer examination they always have the glitzy adds. I would rather pay $15 a month (really 50 cents a day to play) then constantly be wooed and cajoled into spending more. I simple revel in the old school fantasy rpg fun of Dark Ages of Camelot. Some graphics appear to have been updated, but even so its still at least 6 years old in graphics. The game can be clunky at times, often I notice when turning my character that it stutters. Some older games just have such horrible controls and graphics, they are not worth even trying again. It is no Guild Wars by any means, but its not unplayable. The graphics still hold up well after all these years. Well then, go have it it all these other horrible fantasy melee games. When confronted with their outlandish prizes (always paid for) they get hot under the collar, yelping that they should be able to play any way they want and have their fantasy as they choose. Players today seem drawn to this candy-coated shit. Hooray! There is also no stupid list of themed cosmetic crap to spoil the world - no ugly pink unicorns, no over sized penguin mercenaries, no ridiculous pets, etc… Games such as Everquest I & II, World of Warcraft, and other games have been destroyed in my opinion by all this glitzy trash. As far as I can tell there is no real money transactions or micro transactions in the game. ![]() New players get 2 week to try it out but then it is $15 a month to play. As I said, I was flummoxed when I discovered the game was still in operation. I think I may have played a few weeks over the years when I would get a free month but it has been at least five years since I seriously even looked at the game. The last time I played was in the Summer of 2003. You can freely move between the twelve shards so it is no longer an issue to debate what server you are going to join. There is also essentially one server now, Ywain. No doubt some of these are dual or even tri-boxed. I looked around on the web and found some statistics, with a general figure of 2000 active accounts. To my surprise the game is still active and there is a respected number of players. I thought the sun had set on this game, like so many other classic fantasy MMOs. I did not even think Dark Ages of Camelot was still in operation. In gaming terms, that is a millennium of time. Last night I resubscribed to a game that I hadn’t played in more than twelve years.
