Everyone will be blown away by the new character and monster models. It looks like a whole new game,” said Mark Jacobs, president and CEO of Mythic Entertainment. “Instanced dungeons have been a mainstay of MMORPGs for many years, and before that in some standalone games and early MUDs. Our 'Private Adventuring' areas present Catacombs players with enough challenges to keep them exploring this subterranean realm of new dungeons and underground cities for a long time to come, ensuring a "freshness" to the game that is difficult to maintain in many MMORPGs. And, as if that’s not enough, there are also the five new character classes which bring new strategic elements and story to the game.” For more information on Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs, please visit http://catacombs.darkageofcamelot.com/ . About Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs Catacombs is the third retail expansion pack for Dark Age of Camelot. It features a vast new underground environment of friendly cities and dangerous dark dungeons. Many of the new adventuring areas are “instanced’ and can be explored privately by single groups and solo players. Five new player classes make their debut in Catacombs: the Heretic in Albion; the Warlock and Valkyrie in Midgard; and the Vampiir and Bainshee in Hibernia. The first new addition a player will notice in Catacombs will undoubtedly be the major art upgrade to player character models. This all-new set of player character models includes features such as detailed facial features and morphs, hairstyles, skin tones, and more stunning looks for armors and clothing. This upgrade applies to all character models, not just the new player classes. Catacombs is aimed at players of all levels and experience. Content will be provided for characters of the lowest levels up through the most experienced.
