Dark Age of Camelot

Dark Age of Camelot is a 3D medieval fantasy MMORPG that revolves around the war between three realms at the end of King Arthur's rule: England's Albion, Scandinavia's Midgard and Ireland's Hibernia. The game was developed by Mythic Entertainment and released on October 10, 2001.

For the majority of players, the most interesting part of the game is realm vs. realm combat (RvR). On normal servers, players cannot harm other members of their realm. They can teleport to special arenas and fight players from other realms. Most of the DAoC population focuses on RvR, mainly because PvE (player versus environment, referring to any non-RvR related playing) is rather ordinary. There are two role-playing servers, which act as normal servers except you must follow proper role-playing guidelines, a player versus player server, in which everyone is free to attack anyone at any time, and a co-op server, in which there is no RvR.

Mythic has produced four expansions for DAoC:

• Shrouded Isles (November 12, 2002) - new classes, races and lands to explore
• Foundations (free, June 18, 2003) - player housing
• Trials of Atlantis (October 28, 2003) - new high level content
• New Frontiers (June 22, 2004) - revamp of RvR

A new expansion set to reach stores in early-mid 2005, Catacombs, was featured at 2004's E3. With this expansion, there will be new character skins, better graphics, and a large focus on PvE.
