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.
