Take a journey into the snowy lands of Midgard with this beautiful, deep, and relaxing sound. Also added some photos I took of the old original booklet that came with DAoC so long ago.

Damn when i played this when i was a kid it was like MAGIC the music and the whole universe in this game felt better than reality for me. No Joke! :D Daoc will be always in my Heart as the best Mmorpg.
Uthgard
I know, it is long time ago since you posted this, but I feel the same thing. I played DAOC as a 30 yr old and was enthralled and thrilled by this game. Best MMORPG ever.
Same for me
u R getting old. it is called nostalgia.
@@RebelSouls Yup.. sadly i am getting 29 in november :(
My first MMO, I remember my level 10 Runemaster meeting some random person and he gave me 10 gold for a horse ticket, told me when to jump off, and we grind mobs for hours just running around killing stuff, with this music rolling. There was no Discord or Twitch streams those days. It was a chat box and your actions as a character within that game that defined the person you were. I miss that.
Some day a developer with some real sense of what an MMORPG truly is, perhaps even one who played Dark Age, will come forward and create something great. We're probably a good ten-years away from that, sadly.
@@russelladams9147 miss this game . it s the best MMo ive ever played: never found something like DAOC , always the best also after 20 years
My first too, i still remember beautifull ambience music of this. Brings so many memories. These days its just instant action, fast gratification mmo that all are missing the real social ascpets of earlier mmo.
Just one of the best games ever made
@@russelladams9147 if I were rich i would do it
I miss this so much. It was like, almost 20 yrs ago, that's insane... #nostalgiahitsdifferent
Best "waste" of 5 years of my life.
I see that point of view but to me the only thing that actually truly matters in life besides the necessities like food and water etc, is feeling good. If you felt good for a period of time regardless of if it was because of a game or something else it is never a "waste" of time.
Yes I have to agree with that my friend and funny thing was the game was not about the "loot"
Thanks for this. Best MMO in history.
Hey, thanks for posting the ambience of midguard, I sadly didn't get that part of the track when I was doing mine.
If anyone is curious, the first two minutes of this music can be found in Malmohus (in Midgard) and in Avalon City at night (Albion, SI "dungeon" zone).
I could cry.....this music, this game, so much magic. I love it!
Still after 12 years last time i played this and wont forget the atmosphere.
god i miss this game
+gravnaes Agree, no other game have that awsome feeling like daoc did.
+Meatsnack waiting (impatiently) :)
Haha I hear you but right around the corner now!
I miss the 2003 daoc. I miss grinding for hours and chatting with my group. Actually getting to know people in game. The feel of watching your toon hit 50, after months and months of xping. No mmo will ever replace it!
Are people still playing Uthgard? I miss this game and want to play again.
Played this game with my family for years, brings a sense of comfort to hear the music. Thank you.
same for me, brother and father. So much memories
My brothers and i played it.. sadly they all arent interested any more to try again
DAoC was one of those games (and you could broaden that to say one of those "things") where every aspect and element came together in a congruent, synergetic way to create a moving atmosphere. When each facet of something's creation compliments the others, they become exponentially stronger. Even though the graphics were simple by today's standards, something about them went perfectly with the pensive ambient music of the day and that wailing, droning siren-song ambient music that played at night. Somehow it captured the somber mood of contemplating your character's long road ahead in the game, especially if you were a casual, solo player. Will he get any good stuff in raids? Will he do good in RvR? etc. No other game has really captured that for me quite like DAoC did.
I was never able to wrap my head around the combat music and stuck with everquest.
@@Teheleri You missed out on the blood-curdling excitement of defending your realm against two others. Holding a castle for as long as you could with races and classes that were clearly different from your enemy's. EQ was very special for sure (incredible community), and a legendary MMORPG that got the ball rolling (not so much Ultima), but the Zek servers certainly lacked the concept of us vs them vs them. Killing one's own races and classes just seem so lackluster and common in today's games - or you get a 2 faction WoW clone that's poorly produced.
Dark Age had 20+ classes and races and three separate realms. The PvE side of those realms developed the game lore and mythology - recognizable mythology from Dark Ages Europe (something Camelot Unchained has ZERO clue about). The realm vs realm vs realm aspect of the title made that sense of belonging important. You wanted to fight for Ireland, or Midgard (Danish./Scandinavian realm), or for the memory of King Arthur.
No game has accomplished so much meaning.
@@russelladams9147 Everquest had the faction war servers for a while, sadly they never came to fruition and were later transferred into zek.
They always have a special place in my memory.
The different factions warring each other were split up into:
Humans (Humans, Barbarians, Erudites)
Elves (Wood Elf, Half Elf, High Elf)
Shorties (Halflings, Dwarves, Gnomes)
Evil (Dark Elf, Toll, Ogre, Iksar)
Nothing like rolling a gnome chanter the first day, leveling to 4, grabbing the high elf illusion spell and causing mayhem in the greater faydark newbie zone.
Sense of belonging... ever played Darkfall?
@@Teheleri darkfall was really kinda crappy tbh. the only thing EQ had that would come close to DAoC was Rallos Zek server
@@schlomoshekelstein908 The early days of Darkfall were amazing, they slowly turned it into carebear land with each and every patch.
People always say that your first MMORPG is the lens you focus all others through. I have a lot of love for UO and EQ, but DAOC was a king in its day. WoW would come along shortly after, but DAOC holds some of my favorite PvP moments and the music was not only incredible for the time, but still holds up. Dwarf healer for life.
This Music gives me chills.. i loved this game SO MUCH! So sad almost nobody plays it any more :(
Thanks for the heals, brother.
Hibernian Druid here! Love the music. Miss the game.
There really isnt anything that has lived up to what daoc had going. Pvp in wow was fun, but it wasnt Daoc. I had friends and family that i played with, between 5 to 10 of us almost everyday *replaced tv* And when our frontiers were attacked, we answered the call. Attacking and defending castles, Or hear Albs / Hibs are going for relic and the entirety of midgard grouping up and working together. Was amazing. :Brixx - Cave Shaman of Klan Battlehammer, Iseult server.
@@jonrankin3949 Djoardinn. Dwarf Runemaster of Klan Battlehammer, Iseult server. Hail brother!
I spent hours and hours playing this game through college. It was some of the best times of my life, I really miss all of those good times. The music is so amazing.
oh god, this hits me right in the feels :(
Just wanted to say thanks for this, its a really great nostalgic and relaxing hour of music to have on in the background while I work on my computer.
This was my first real MMORPG played this game for a long time with my wife as well. Awesome community and players.
Wish they would revamp the game engine and UI and release it. Funny thing it wasnt so much about the eye candy but the game play and the community. Hearing the music brings so many good memories and a sense of calmness love it.
Fun fact: this was the first ever randomly generated digital music in a game. It’s unique every time you hear it in game.
Best mmorpg ever, awesome PvP mechanic awesome craft mechanic, awesome big big world,awesome...wait i can do this all day long.
Depressing that this never got a round two - as in Dark Age of Camelot II. Updated graphics and UI with the same concepts in place would have been amazing. I know folks will point to Camelot Unchained, but the races look mostly silly, as in Crowfall silly, Bainshee throws her head at folks? Really?
Anyway - a graphically realistic medieval mmorpg where separate races and flags defend a realm vs a realm vs a realm. Each realm having its own continent to level and RPG in...to evolve and grow in. RvR victory mattering to every member of that realm.
This is unheard of in today's industry. Shameful to say the least.
+Flavius Quintori I have high hopes for Camelot Unchained!
Same, brother.
+Flavius Quintori nothing will be like DAOC sadly. I been looking through a lot of games, i am not sure Camelot Unchained will bring back those old goos times, but one can only hope. I think like you, in today's industry i can't understand how the concept of this game wasn't brought back again. 3 realms with their own each class/races, the RvR system was awesome, leveling in each realm was awesome, the people playing in there. Miss a lot the good old times.
IzHaN it really is baffling that developers are so locked on selling fluff and calling it a working title.
Age of Conan, was a great example of this. Beautifully rendered, fantastic musical score...and I immediately went to their "culture" server - that name alone was a warning if their inability. They split the factions along racial lines....but there were toofew races...and didn't have the sense to separate classes.
Server died - of course.
I think Dark Age was a gem and is something no one is willing to emulate - 44 classes and 24 races - three realms of 1-50 with their own epic dungeons ...battle zones that were persistent - a not so large as to lose people mile-gate system and castles to capture...Darkness Falls, 3 realm pvp dungeon for further epic experiences. The dragons...the elite mobs...events...sigh.
What probably needs to happen is Daoc needs to be bought....freed of EA's grasp
and then shelved.
Then, the owners can rebuild the title exactly and upgrade graphics and UI. There it is.
Anyone?
Midgard forever my Friends. I did my Duty for Midgard in 2002-2004 ... then WoW absorbed me... I will never forget my first Steps in MMO's ... thanks DaoC
Someday, someone with wealth will buy Dark Age of Camelot from Broadsword, will revamp it into an Unreal Engine 4 driven mmorpg, will pick a viable post 1.65 pre TOA patchset, and just let it run for 99 cents a month - just to say it's a sub game.
Someday.
If I ever win the lottery, that would happen so fast....
Check out the free server, Eden. Very active in 2024. Old school vibes, No OP artifact gear unbalancing RVR, you can get skins of artifacts. There are tons of players in all 3 realms. There are several good balances and quality of life improvements. Mid on the Kay sever was my DAOC home. Now I feel at home again on Eden.
And if you don't like New Frontiers, there will be a server soon, he is call " BlackThorn", OF, Classic Modded, really interesting. They have a Website.
This was my childhood.. I remember when they implementet ambiance music, before that the only music was when you entered a town/city.. :)
It hurts
DOAC music kept my playing way beyond the expiration date-I just go to zones like Lyn Barfog (best music) and just sit. LOL silly I know but at the time was so calming. Thank you for posting! After listening-this IS the LYN BARFOG music as well. Did a lot of power-leveling there!
Sunsets and sunrises next to water sources... Trials of Atlantis were beautiful in a sense too. I still prefer to think these early games are our(as humans) first attempts to become Gods: creating worlds, rules for them and welcoming others to see if they would stay and if worlds would work and evolve over time. Fun fact, looks like a single human/God is not capable of thinking about every rule that is needed to make a complete world, you start with an idea and welcome other Gods: musicians, architects, poets, etc...
"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here"
I never played it but a similar game (Regnum Online) and I set this to the standard site I open when i open RUclips so this video gets a click every single time i open YT. Also I'll have fast access to very calming music instantly.
Now I can do my HomeWork.
Thx!
omg i loved this game sooo much
so beautiful...
Asmr for sleep, doit FOTM people
Lot of memories here thanks bro.
this is so good
So much nostalgia... :(
same here :(
i would give everything to re-live the time this came out and the years that followed. No one who never played that game will understand what this game gave to the players...
Me too my friend, me too :)
Good old memories.
Played when I was 13, probably one of the greatest thing in my sad life at this age. Thanks Mythic
Does anybody have the Hibernia version of this? I've been looking high and low for the ambient music in-game and I've only found, like, weird soundtracks that weren't even in the game.
@Kettlehewer check Merkwuerdichliebe channel, he did this for hib, alb and even atlantis
I first played DAOC at 10 yrs old.
My aunt and uncle played this, ever quest, second life, sims, and quite a few others.
We named my first character Big-D
He was a troll.
Played again at 16 for a couple of weeks.
I miss this game and wish I had the time and money to get and play through this whole game.
My first MMO on my first self built computer back in 2001. Such amazing LAN party memories with this game....
my God i wish Uthgard 2.0 didn't die so fast. It was the last hope of this game, i thoroughly enjoyed it while it was populated, and it was literally like playing for the first time again back in '01. :( come back DAoC
This game was so great, back in the day. This music is so calming and magical. I could just sit in a nice comfortable chair with a few cold beers and a pack of smokes, on a cool sunny 60 degree day. And dift off, remembering all the fun times I had in this game. And the people I meet during my journeys in this game.
I remember starting this as a 13 year old in 2003. I rolled onto a PVP server because I loved betraying people in RS and ganking them for their stuff lol.
In contrast I picked to be a kobold seer and ended up being ganked over and over after hitting level 10 or so in Fort Atla. I would always keep rerolling my character to get pvp immunity and grouping in Nisse's Lair to make friends before the ganks would come lol, sometimes we'd explore and get ganked together.
Man, MMO's were so nostalgic for me then.
GREAT Memories!!!! Played since Beta, 3 Accounts Over 3 realms All Full, inspired me to Write a Book About My Characters "The Christensen Women of Migard"
Cette musique me manquait... Merci pour tout daoc, je te dois énormément de choses....
Tout pareil, le mythe reste entier !
Dommage qu'il n'y a plus de serveur FR, ah Brocéliande........
Tu peux toujours venir sur le serveur privé Uthgard, ils en sont à la version 1.65 Daoc Classic/SI . Il y a a peu près 3k de joueurs par soirs et 1k en attentes de jouer ... ça se bouscule !
DAoC Vets...are the best gamers.
Can you make more of these videos with a long runtime!???
My first MMO, I had 12 years old... I loved and i love this game... I want return to play but i not find italian community and now are only rvr... All pve content are desert.. I loved the pve content of this games... The music.... I love daoc ❤️
MY favorite MMO of all time cept WoW .. I loved this MMO this was the game the got me into MMOs
Who else is still listening in 2022
any chance of uploading some ambient music from some of the other realms/areas?
Dark Age of Camelot is the only game that will make me cry even if i only hear its Name
A piece of my life! So much nostalgia...
Would love to tell you all about my Hunter on the Kay server.
Not my first mmo but by far one of my favorite....memories tied to the music
Mi manca DAOC, è stato il mio primo MMORPG, un gioco RVR senza eguali, nessuno è riuscito a fare fino ad ora un MMORPG di questa qualità, che ricordi che porto con me
started playing it the day it came out and was hooked for 1.5 years, was on Midgard, kobold runemaster lvl 50, skald thane lvl 50 and rich like a mofo, than i sold it on ebay for $1300 bwhahaha, good times :)
still have the game and poster in mint condition
This game has a lot of cherished memories. Midgard all the way. I remember being a kid and purchasing a horse, and trying to get some one area to the best before dark so the guards would help protect me haha 😂😂
this game needs a re-release
please add more daoc music videos! I love to listen to focus at work!
Midgard Palomides /salute
나에게는 최고의 mmorpg 이보다 더 재밌는 게임은 죽을때 까지 없을듯...그립다.
thank you for this!
hey, can you help me by the Daoc Sounds a Little?
camelot unchained. daoc was a great game. a visionary title.
Kobold was like 2 balls and stun in conclusion down :)
So long ago.
Man i really miss this game and its old creators
Bliss
okay who the fuck disliked this?
Damn I miss that game so much
this is so good
nice
This is not Daoc music?
wtf? i played this game alot, this is not the music!
embarrassing guys?
you think this guitarr sounds was in the original..? lol
its just click bait pleaese dont ruin my game...
It is.
this is the ambient music introduced with SI not long after vanilla
SI was not for these cities... these citites have their own music themes. for those who dont know, SI is Shrouded Isles, and it it was an expansion. has nothing to do with these beautiful starter cities.@@Cymricus
Not long after? what you talking about...@@Cymricus
I met my boyfriend in Daoc back in 2004 (now he's married and has 2 kids)
miss this a lot
