Mythic doing free DAoC addons News
PC News by Robert Purchese
Dark Age of Camelot is to get "Camelot Campaigns" rather than a content patch this year, according to our hairy correspondent, reporting live from a Mythic event in the US. The developer will introduce new content once every two weeks for up to six months.
Each new addition to the MMO will further the storyline, with subtle teasers having appeared already twice this month. The campaigns will remain playable after the six months are up too, and you can catch up at any point, playing through all the previous sections at your leisure.
Dragon's Revenge will be the first "Camelot Campaign", and introduces a scaley dragon with destruction on the mind to each of the three realms. Naturally it'll be up to you and your virtual pals to fight back against these beasts, as well as rectify the carnage the lizard leaves in its wake.
Mythic also blurbed that it will be releasing a Catacombs Pack for the game, which will feature the first four paid-for expansions. This is so that Cameloteers can catch up to the necessary levels, and get hold of the new race (the Minotaurs), when the Labyrinth of the Minotaurs expansion pack is released across Europe in February.
No idea what we're on about? Dark Age of Camelot is an MMO released way back in 2002. You choose to play in one of three realms - Albion (Britain), Midgard (Scandinavia) or Hibernia (Ireland) - and battle your rival factions through realm versus realm battles.

Is it just me, or does everything seem to revolve around MMORPGS these days??

Nope, its not just you.
Everyone wants a bit of the huge pile of cash that WoW is raking in, but they don't seem to understand that its making that much making cos its: 1. Really rather good 2. Very accessible 3. Very, very popular Without those three things from the offset, its unlikely any MMO would really take off. But with the amount of cash Blizzard are raking in, it looks to investors like its worth throwing a load of cash at some developers, just in case they manage to produce something good. Edit: Clarity and horrible spelling. Ugh.

Vanguard is very good actually, at least it is now, it wasn't at the start. Very soon it should be absolutely brilliant.

Not to mention that DAOC invented *cough* WoW's combat system. And indeed, that of most modern MMOs, take them or leave them..
Age of Conan looks like it might be the first MMO to do the right thing and ape DAOC's PvP.. even WAR doesn't seem to be doing that, and DAOC has yet to be beaten in the "persistent world PvP" regard (no, Guild Wars doesn't count). |
