    The current era uses DX9c,  since DX10 don't adds nothing and most people use XP anyway.

     

    Also, I would play a DAoC with current GUI standards, but I doubt it much that this thing will be upgraded.

    While I've heard nothing official about a new expansion for DAoC,

    does indicate it would make sense for any future DAoC content to carry the Bioware label.

    If true might be worth revisiting the game.

    So right, they should have updated the GUI when they updated the graphic engine years ago. This would actually bring me back to DAoC.

    MMO = community. Without movement to rebuild the community it would be a waste of time. All the pretty eye candy, GUI and 3D upgrades couldn't help a game that is a shell of it's former self. Only thing that can is organized community support and consistant and sustained player population.

    They don't make expansions for games that barely have 4k users online during peak. Furthermore, DAoC couldn't upgrade to DX10. Let this once great game rest in peace.

    If only this were true...

    Sorry for bumping this, but DAoC was my 2nd love (right after EQ), and I would love to see something like this.  Not that it *really* needs it in my opinion.. I'm coming back to DAoC anyway.

    I levelled a 50 necro pre-ToA and stopped playing after buying that expansion.

    To be perfectly honest, I didn't leave for the reason most left at that time.. I actually went back to EverQuest at that point.. Really had nothing to do with DAoC.  I chose the wrong character to level to 50 first imho.  Necro should have been the *last* one I capped.

    Anyway.. DAoC is an amazing game that really deserves the status of WoW.. It's just that it's not an easy game (comparatively) and may seem clunky to some people.  If you can play it for a few days however, you will realize that's not the case.

    Ahh.. call me a fanboi, i don't care.  DAoC is an amazing game and I keep wondering why it took me so long to come back.
