Offline DAoC 0.34 "Claude Takeover II", classic classes only

The same complete game as v0.34b, with no custom class: only the original Classic + Shrouded Isles classes, for you and the bots. The helper downloads the shared game parts from the v0.34b release and switches this copy to the classic class list.

How to install

  1. Turn on the Windows feature .NET Framework 3.5 (how).
  2. Download DOWNLOAD-AND-PLAY-v0.34.cmd and Get-OfflineDAoC.ps1 from this page into the same new, empty folder.
  3. Double-click the .cmd file. It downloads the game (about 5 GB, checked part by part) into a new playable-v0.34 folder, and never overwrites an existing game.
  4. Open that folder and run START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd → START SERVER → wait for RUNNING → ENTER REALM.

Your own local account is created the first time. The world starts empty; create bots from each realm's card in the launcher, which shows VERSION 0.34.
You need a 64-bit Windows PC with an AVX2 CPU, 16 GB RAM (recommended) and about 20 GB of free space.

Coming from 0.33 or an older version? Run IMPORT PROGRESS FROM OLD OFFLINE DAOC.cmd in the new folder to bring over your account, characters, items, money, houses and bots. Your old folder is not changed. A save with Sluaghbinder characters belongs in v0.34b instead. Transfer guide.

What's new in 0.34

  • Bounty Masters: normal, hard (about +6 levels) and very hard (about +12) bounties, with 5–20 kills and bigger XP and gear rewards for the harder ones.

Overview: RELEASE-0.34.md. Every change: CHANGELOG.md. Verification: RELEASE VERIFICATION.txt.

Darkness Falls stays beta: raid AI isn't implemented, and the hardest encounters are left out of bot goals. Older releases (v0.3–v0.33b) remain available, and each keeps its source on its own branch and tag.
