About Dark Age of Camelot®
Dark Age of Camelot is a next generation massively-multiplayer
online role-playing game (“MMORPG”), and features Realm vs. Realm™
combat, Mythic’s unique take on Player vs. Player action, multiple
class and race combinations, a robust trade skill system, and the
most comprehensive player Guild system in any MMORPG. The world of
Dark Age of Camelot features three Realms at war – Midgard, Hibernia
and Albion. Based on the mythologies of Viking-era Scandinavia,
ancient Ireland, and Arthurian Britain, respectively, the
once-peaceful Realms began to battle after the death of King Arthur.
Players quest, fight monsters, form guilds and eventually gain
enough power to defend their Realm from enemies. Since its release
in October 2001, Dark Age of Camelot has received critical acclaim,
including Online Game of the Year by Computer Games Magazine and
Computer Gaming World, and PC Game of the Year by USA Today and
MSNBC. Dark Age of Camelot continues to grow and expand worldwide
and has proven to be an enduring success.
