It adds a sense of foundation beyond the game's internal lore. I appreciate how DAoC draws on druid mythology as well as other ancient mythologies. As an Enchanter I can summon citizens of the “Underhill” to assist me in battle, and employ the magic of the Sun, Moon, and enchanting powers. I chose the pointy eared elf (because I am also beautiful, tall, and thin), hoping to use my ears as daggers in an emergency situation. Following my friends advice I chose a race that could play as an Enchanter, meaning either an Elf or a Lurikeen. 2001 was a time before sliders and Black Desert Online, so players settled for a menagerie made up of pre-designated faces and hair colors. Although there is a huge selection of races and classes to choose from-21 races and 45 classes across the three realms-character customization is rather limited. As someone with no experience until now I heeded their advice.Ĭharacter creation is fairly simple, in line with other MMORPGs of the time period. From what I had been told Enchanters are overpowered-or at least they were ten years ago when friends of mine played. Mainly, I chose Hibernia, not just because it exemplifies my own heritage as a Celt, but to play as an Enchanter. I chose Hibernia, peoples attuned to nature and the conservation movement-races willing to chain themselves to Redwoods and spit in the face of land developers. Starting off, you elect to play as one of three factions-Albion, Hibernia, or Midgard, each corresponding to Arthur's kingdom, Norse lands, or Celtic legends respectively.
