About “Dark Age of Camelot”
“Dark Age of Camelot” is a next generation
massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (“MMORPG”), and features
state-of-the-art 3D graphics with 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, “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. With an industry-leading customer support program, “Dark Age of Camelot”
continues to grow and expand worldwide and has proven to be an enduring success.
