Hello everyone, my name is Moondragon (new luri ranger) I just wanted to say that I am new to the server (I was happy to find a "classic" way of playing DAOC. I logged in last night and was just amazed at how much I missed this game.

Just a bit about myself--I've played DAOC from launch and left shortly after ToA and NF were introduced. I played a Hunter on Bors called "Somebodyelse". I went back to Mythic DAOC when the "classic" servers were announced and played a Ranger called "Lictor", which I enjoyed a lot more than my Hunter.

I've been cruising VN forums about if/when Origins would ever be launched by Mythic and came across posts indicating that a shard was running classic DAOC, whcih led me to google and finally here.

I do have a few questions and I hope a few of you would be so kind to respond...I know some may sound dumb but I've only been on the shard for about 3-hours so far and it has been a really long time since I've played DAOC.

1) Archery--is it the "old" way where you really shoot a bow or the "new" way where archery is like casting spells? I
2) Do rangers autotrain bow skill like they used to? Also, is pathfinding a skill line (like it was back in the day) or are those skills combined into archery. Just need to know for character building purposes.
3) To what degree is the classic shard? Or yet, which expansions are missing on this server? Is ToA truly missing? Are the frontiers the "old" frontiers or the new frontiers?

Anyway, those are my first 3 questions. I'll be leveling and maybe I can bump into the low-level alts and get to know you guys/gals.
