FAIRFAX, VA – August 18, 2003 Mythic Entertainment, developer and publisher of the award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game Dark Age of Camelot, is proud to announce that since the release of their recent expansion, Dark Age of Camelot: Foundations, players have erected more than 20,000 homes.

 

Foundations, a free expansion that allows player and guild owned housing in the world of Dark Age of Camelot, now boasts a burgeoning real estate economy that exceeds the actual number of homes purchased in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. combined in the month of June (Source: DataQuick, District of Columbia’s Office of Tax and Revenue).

 

“With 20,000 pieces of property sold in less than six weeks, Camelot players have flocked to purchase their very own houses,” said Walter Yarbrough, Content Producer for Mythic Entertainment. “From minstrel to mystic, the housing system of Foundations provides everyone the opportunity to own and furnish a very functional home, where commerce and comfort mix.”
