About “Trials of Atlantis(TM)”
“Trials of Atlantis,” the 3rd expansion to
“Dark Age of Camelot,” opens a whole new world as players discover the secrets
of the famed lost civilization of Atlantis. Foreseeing the demise of their
society, the ancient people of Atlantis, possessors of extremely powerful
magical lore, built a series of trials into the ruins of their once great
culture. Players can take on the nine trials and unlock new mysterious powers
while mastering the perilous ocean and confronting terrifying monsters.
“Trials of Atlantis” is designed to challenge
high-level players by introducing a Master Level advancement system. As a player
moves sequentially through each of the nine trials, they will achieve a
corresponding Master Level. With each Master Level, players gain new Atlantean
Master Abilities, each with its own unique capabilities and skills. Emphasizing
group play, the trials are designed to be tackled by groups of players. Players
are able to travel by boat, explore islands within the ruins, swim to submerged
dungeons, and battle new creatures in underwater caves. Additionally, “Trials of
Atlantis” features three new races, dozens of original monsters, as well as
quests to discover and treasures to reclaim.

About “Dark Age of Camelot(R)”
Celebrating its four year anniversary, “Dark Age
of Camelot” is a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (“MMORPG”)
featuring Realm vs. Realm(TM) 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. The sixth expansion
pack for the game, “Darkness Rising(TM),” was released on October 11th and is
available via a new integrated digital distribution system and as part of the
new “Dark Age of Camelot: Epic Edition.”
