DESCRIPTION
Online gamers enter a realm of familiar fantasy adventure in Mythic Entertainment's Dark Age of Camelot, in which they are invited to assume the roles of heroes and villains in the style of classic Arthurian legends. As in the critically acclaimed Asheron's Call and the enduringly popular EverQuest, players design worthy characters to represent them as they enter a virtual 3D world ruled by swords and sorcery and populated by the avatars of hundreds of other gamers from around the world.
In addition to knights and knaves of King Arthur's Albion, players can also choose to become powerful Celt mystics of Hibernia or ruthless Viking warriors of Midgard. Each of these three realms offers a distinct flavor to its characters' history and motivations. Though a variety of class and skill combinations are available to characters from each of these three realms, the hero's homeland is an integral part of gameplay that will influence development throughout the course of the game.
The realms of Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard each have certain relics that are a source of great power and which need to be protected at all costs. This common goal defined by nationality adds a new aspect of strategy to persistent world online gaming. In choosing a home realm the player in effect joins a team, as countrymen are automatically allies and foreigners are instant enemies that may be attacked on sight. As players become more and more powerful, they may plot raids or even wage wars in the name of protecting their relics and capturing those of the enemy. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“This game was the first MMO I played and it was by far the most exciting and enjoyable experience of any MMO. While it is a bit dated now, it established itself as the premier PvP MMO on the market.”

“Best PvP/RvR MMO ever. Ruined, imo, by Trials of Atlantis. Never recovered from combination of poor/slow class balance and the debacles of ToA. WE NEED DAOC2 to save us from MMO PvP tedium!”

“Well, I tried this oldie but goodie over the weekend on a trial basis. On the down side, the graphics are kinda clunky, cutting edge for its release time, but today a bit dated. The UI isnt exactly inuitive but once you get the hang of it, it isnt too bad. If your coming into this blind and new, DO ALL OF THE TUTORIAL QUESTS!!!! It makes life easier for you I promise. Questing waypoints can be a little confusing, but it isnt impossible, just takes a little effort on the player's part.
On the good side, leveling is decent, not too fast, not ungodly slow. Gear from quests are actually useful for a bit before they get worn unlike alot of other MMOs. I havent figured out the crafting system yet. You can get your first mount by lv 10. I love the RVR system, its pretty damned cool in my opinion. Te hisorical/mythical backgrounds are pretty fun. I havent seen any RP at all but then I think that the setting was more a vehicle to the RVR PVP than anything. There are a ton of classes to choose from. For the most part they seem pretty balanced though I havent seen the high end yet so I wont call that confirmed. I havent figured out the crafting yet but Ill get there. Anyways, a fresh change and I like it so far. Im looking forward to seeing the player housing etc. I think that will be of interest as well.”
