I'm really tempted to come back. I played original DF from 2008 till it closed and only a month of DFUW.
I'm getting an average of 205ms when I ping the server. I get about 240-260 when I play ESO, which does cause some problems. But you can get used to it even if it sucks.
Any Aussies or anyone playing from Asia with 200+ ping?

Last time I played with an Aussie clan and a lot of guys used polearms because of extended reach to compensate for the lag.
Any advice about race and weapon to use for RoA with lag? I think archery is tougher.
I play from Sweden with 120 and it's definitely doable. Can't compare Darkfall's 120ms with CSGO 120ms, because that game is unplayable with above 100 ping.
Thinking also about alfar -- small hit box and good for magic, but also short reach.
I'm not sure how exactly the racials will work out in RoA compare to original DF, but I've watched a couple of vids on it and it seems like they are working on making all the races viable.
About CS, well like others said before, you can't really compare them... I guess if the rpg could carry more ammo and reload faster you could rock with it there also with 300+ ping

But which one you quit?? You are aware that RoA is a new release just one week old? Doubt that you played this before...

I feel pretty crap in combat and I found that there is a huge difference between R0 and R40 weapons (of course). I forgot about all that stuff, so I'm actually re-learning the game. I need to get on crafting pretty quick. I'm still in a wait-and-see mode regarding ping. If I decide to keep playing, I will start looking for a clan.
But I'm having fun in good old Agon. I missed it. It looks a bit dated, but the world is huge and I love knowing I can build a boat and go off exploring wherever I want. Of all games, this one gives me the greatest sense of adventure.
on the official forums, there is also a thread for new player expierience, since you forgot everything, your feedback may be helpful there as well...
i played already a bit in beta so it wasn't that new for me and i had to to refresh my memories, but so many things changed and improved... and about adventures... yes its the only game that gives you this feeling, i guess beside the environment, a major aspect may be the risk to die
I discovered my first portal, but didn't try it yet, need to do it though, to learn were it will lead me to
