The primary goal of the Realm-specific Knights is to understand and articulate the challenges and issues facing their Realm. Secondary goals are to perform testing and otherwise collect data to help determine balance issues or bugs with the classes in their Realm. Realm-specific Knights are required to write Realm reports at intervals determined by the Knight Coordinator. Realm-specific Knights are encouraged to interact with the player base on various DAOC community forums, but are not required.
The primary goal of the Knights of the Realms is understand and articulate the challenges and issues facing players as a whole, regardless of ruleset type, realm, class, etc. The focus of this role is to identify sources of frustration for players at large, and to help the development team come up with possible solutions that require very little or no server-specific changes. The Knight should also act as advocates for players on their servers to ensure that any proposed changes to the game that may hinder their game-play or further diminish the immersion factor of DAOC are brought to the attention of the development team. The Knight-Generalists are required to write reports at intervals determined by the Knight Coordinator, and are encouraged to interact with the player base on various DAOC community forums.
