I am 'one of those' people who played DAoC as you may have gathered by the topic title, I really only started following this game when I discovered Matt Firor and "a number of the development staff" were working on ESO and it had a 3 faction RvR system with effectively Emain. Shamefully I have not really played the previous games in the series all that much and in my opinion this games developing is really being followed by two main groups, those who love the Elder Scrolls series and those who wants this game to emulate DAoC RvR end-game (hopefully classic).

I think this is fantastic - harnessing a huge fan base while delivering a RvR/PvP/AvA system based on one of the most enjoyable systems i've ever had the pleasure of playing. It stands to create a long standing and highly enjoyable game, rich in story and lore while delivering a sustainable and long running end-game. DAoC had end game but never really any lore, story or PvE - its two birds with one stone in my book.

With the team already on the case building a 3-faction RvR system with Realm reward system there are a few things I would really like them to basically strip out and implement from DAoC:

• Realm Abilities - this system replaces the necessity of gear reliant PvP which effectively made WoW awful (along with the game not being built for PvP)
  
  • Purge, MoC/MoP etc, IP, Charge and all that good stuff
• Face/Follow/Assist commands
  
• Elements of chain based combat strings - evade/block unlocks
  
• Guard/Protect abilities in RvR - assist your healers in battle and protect them
  
• Strong CC abilities and counters - PROPER Mez!

The one thing that I am not sure if i should be concerned or excited about is the ability for people to have true customization over their spec and there not be true 'classes' - will this be the end of the healer/Tank/MeleeDPS/Caster group? Or will it make pure-build group make ups more powerful... we will have to wait and see.

I'm also really excited about the possibility of Darkness Falls being remake inside the game, a PvP dungeon!
