Dark Age of Camelot: The Game

Dark Age of Camelot is a next generation
MMORPG and features 3D-accelerated graphics with multiple class and race
combinations, Player vs. Player and Player vs. Environment action, a robust
trade skill system, and the most comprehensive player Guild system in any MMORPG.
Dark Age of Camelot takes place after the death of King Arthur, and breaks new
ground for online play with three realms in conflict – realms that used to be
peaceful and united under Arthur’s rule. The players assume a character from one
of the three realms: Midgard, Hibernia, or Albion. Each realm is based on the
mythologies of Viking-era Scandinavia, ancient Ireland, and Arthurian Britain,
respectively. Since its release it has been acclaimed by reviewers including:
Gamespot 9.1 out of 10, naming it Multiplayer Role Playing Game of the Year and
one of the top ten PC games of 2001; Computer Games 93 out of 100; USA Today
