Also, by using the Realm Skill Point cap system above, this enables us to allow your characters' RPs to persist from season to season. The following will carry over - character name, crafting skills, player herald stats (Solo kills, Mob kills, Relic takes, Keep takes, etc) and titles, unlockable reskins and effects, housing trophies, and PvE mounts. What if I don't want to lose my progress? In essence, your character is reset to level 1, but long term progression (non economic) carries over. To allow for that fresh new server feeling along with the possibility of new rulesets, the following will be reset upon a new season - Realm Skill Point cap, levels, gold, all items. We will be sure to announce at the beginning of each season what the expected timeline is and permanent rewards that will be acquired from participating. If players continue to play for 1+ year and the population does not drop to devastatingly low levels, the season will continue as normal. To be completely transparent, it is unknown even to us until later in the season, but it is largely controlled by the community. We have been diligently building out all the systems needed to support these different types of gameplay! Here are some common questions we anticipate regarding how we will implement seasons: Eden will offer multiple DAoC seasons all in one reliable, stable environment for your enjoyment and ease of play.īy offering a seasonal DAoC experience, it allows us to present alternative rulesets that may have different end-game objectives (Homeland Invasion/King assasination) or slightly less popular but highly requested (PvP Ruleset) rulesets, or even a chance to experience DAoC in an accelerated timeline (Progression Server with releasing expansion patches).

However, all of these freeshards come with complete wipes and can vary wildly in terms of stability. Whether it’s Uthgard, Phoenix, Celestius, or Atlas - we acknowledge all freeshard servers have a limited lifetime which is effectively a “season” of DAoC fun before ultimately decaying. That’s right, Eden will be the first and only DAoC server to ever introduce the concept of seasonal DAoC. This will also help us introduce another long term project which has never been tried before in DAoC - Seasons! Again, you will always earn your realm points when RvR’ing, only the spendable Realm Skill Points and +skills are capped. Also, the overall timeline will allow players to create alts, switch realms, or just try out new things without that feeling of falling behind in the RR category. Keep in mind, the RP rate is not increased on Eden and the first month of the server is generally leveling, crafting, templating, and overall getting ready for RvR. This initial 3L9 cap will give more time to the casual players who may not be able to play as much as the hardcore gamers at launch. The goal with this Realm Skill Point cap is to temporarily level the playing field.

(Disclaimer: The timeline is subject to change) To illustrate, below is a chart for the rough timeline of the Realm Skill Point caps. Any Realm Points earned beyond the cap will still count towards your overall realm rank, but the Realm Skill Points available to spend and the +skill will be limited to the current cap.

Every week after that, the cap will be increased by 200k. For the first month of the server, the Realm Skill Point cap will be 3L9 or 200k RPs. You will still earn your realm points, no matter what, but the maximum amount of Realm Skill Points you are able to spend will be limited based on the Realm Skill Point cap release schedule. The first system is Realm Skill Point caps. To that point, we will be introducing a few systems never tried before in DAoC: This is the feeling we want to preserve on Eden as many view it as the most enjoyable time of a server. You go to the Frontiers to conquer the enemy and there it is…the sweet scent of the fresh rr2.

You finally get level 50 and you’re geared out in your new RoGs, epic armor and makeshift template. Leveling up with the guild, just like the good old times.
