Agree with alot of what you said, DAOC was my first mmo so I am a bit biased in favor of someone making DAOC2!
Been said many times before, the key to meaningful PvP was the three realms, taking keeps had meaning, relic raids were incredible(lag could be annoying sometimes).
If all you want is 3 faction PvP then no worries guys, it's coming soon.
World V World PvP
World vs World, WvW, World PvP or Casual PvP, is a mode of Player versus Player combat which takes place in the Mists. Worlds, or servers, are randomly matched up against two other worlds. Those match-ups will be rotated every week to match worlds against those of similar strength. The combat is open and features many objectives and roles which players can do; "players may decide to fight alone against a supply caravan, join a single group and capture a mine or create a large alliance to assault one of the numerous fortress that could give an advantage in the zone." The battle is on a large scale, where hundreds of people can fight on each side in week-long battles.
Each opposing world starts out with castles, mercenary camps, mines, lumber mills and villages. Separating the starting zones are neutral zones controlled by no one, also containing fortresses, mines, and villages.
The resources gained from mines and lumber mills are used to rebuild walls, create siege engines, and generally defend the team's fortress.
These territories and control points will confer benefits to the world that controls them; "maybe everyone gets increased energy regeneration or healing rate or enhanced loot drop rate." Players can gain experience and level their character in World PvP. Guilds will be able to take and hold keeps.
Players are free to come and go from the battle as they please and there is no limit to the number of players entering. Players enter with a character of any level and use skills they have available to that character. Characters can enter as a sidekick which will allow them to play as a higher level character.
World PvP is intended as a casual form of PvP, designed to be a more relaxed bridging point between PvE and the tactics and pressure of structured PvP. It is hoped that players of any level or PvP experience can participate and be useful.
Three years ago! Unfortuantely we got Warhammer Online instead. I have a bad feeling that Mythic will not be making any more new games in the future.
I am afraid that you are right. EA labeled Mythic as a failure and fired most people, then they made Biowares boss chief over the remaining people.
The sad thing is that DaoC 2 would have done a lot better than WAR, if nothing else do Mythic know the IP better than any other people while they had no clue about Warhammer, I bet few if any people ever played the Warhammer RPG or tabletop, at best they might have tried Bloodbowl.
I don't see EA letting mythic get any mney for a new game, DaoC 2s only chance would be if Jacobs started a new company and bought the IP from EA, and that chance is slim to nun.
The current staff at Mythic has been lobotomized.Look at what they ended up with with WAR and how they screwed DAOC up in its later years.It certainly wouldn't be Mythic who could do it.(BTW I played DAOC on and off for 6 years and my wife still plays).I'm hoping GW2 or some other game fills this void no other game has been able to fill.
1. There are no realms with unique races or classes. The bad guys will be just like you. Nothing "special" about your side.
2. Your enemy will rotate every few weeks. You will not develop any notoriety with the enemy.. nor get to know/respect/hate them. In DAoC I KNEW who the enemy leaders were.I learned how they would act/react... we waged a war that carried on for years.
3. Instanced E-Sport battlegrounds as opposed to the persistent ones from DAoC
So I will agree that GW2 is the only game on the horizon that I see having a chance to fill the DAoC void... it's going to have a pretty hard time measuring up. We will see.

Midgard was by far the best Realm!:-)
I'd like to see a DAoC 2 but I have a feeling it wouldn't be quite the success people would think.
DAoC was the first MMO I extensively played, but I never made it to 50 on any char.

I would like to see a true DAOC 2. And they need to bring back the FFA server. The DAOC FFA servers were the greatest MMO experience possible.
Look What I Did - melodic mathcore band from Nashville, TN, see music videos from new record Atlas Drugged
DAoC 2 your time was.....

The problem with GW2 is three-fold:
1. There are no realms with unique races or classes. The bad guys will be just like you. Nothing "special" about your side.
2. Your enemy will rotate every few weeks. You will not develop any notoriety with the enemy.. nor get to know/respect/hate them. In DAoC I KNEW who the enemy leaders were.I learned how they would act/react... we waged a war that carried on for years.
3. Instanced E-Sport battlegrounds as opposed to the persistent ones from DAoC
So I will agree that GW2 is the only game on the horizon that I see having a chance to fill the DAoC void... it's going to have a pretty hard time measuring up. We will see.
