FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Eddiemae Jukes (415) 777-4000 eddiemae@kohnkecomm.com Mythic Entertainment to Offer Account Splitting to Dark Age of Camelot Subscribers New Feature Will Allow Players to Separate Characters into Different Accounts FAIRFAX, VA – April
22, 2004 – Mythic Entertainment announced today that their
flagship massively multiplayer game Dark
Age of Camelot will be offering a new service to their subscribers
beginning on April 27th. Known to players as “account splitting,” it allows
players to transfer one or more characters from an existing account to a new
account. Because separate characters on one account cannot be played
simultaneously, households that share accounts often want to move a character
to a new account so the two characters can adventure together. “Roommates, spouses, and friends often
bring new players to the game by temporarily sharing accounts,” said Matt
Firor, Vice President of Development and Executive Producer at Mythic
Entertainment. “Up until now, these new players had no way to move their
characters from their friend’s account to a new account of their own. They
were forced to create a new character from scratch once they got their own
account. Now, with our new splitting feature, Camelot fans can move their characters to a new account and keep
playing the same character.” For a one-time fee of $40 per account
split, customers will be allowed to move up to four characters from an
established account to a brand new account, as long as the characters remain
on the same server. Standard subscription fees for the old and new accounts
will still apply. About
