The most superbly developed game for the new MMORPG Era which set the trend for Realm versus Realm (RvR) gameplay.
Dark Age of Camelot is a world during the Celtic and Scottish era that simply put, is straight from the Arthurian Lore. Mythic Entertainment definitely made sure that the Lore fit with the RPG aspect from the tip of the Snowdonia Mountain Peaks to the bottom of Darkness Falls. As I ventured through Dark Age of Camelot as an Albion Human and then onward as a Hibernian Celt, the world mystified me with intense excitement, but that was just the beginning ...
Once I became familiar and comfortable with all areas, I tread deep into the outskirts of the Battlegrounds and became addicted to the ever-so-fast-paced player versus player (pvp) / realm versus realm (rvr) settings. It was the most active place to be in all of Camelot, Hibernia, and Midgaurd, not to mention the most fun place of any MMORPG of its time.
I would recommend Dark Age of Camelot to every gamer so s/he can feel the glory of being in such a Legendary game and feel the lore which will carry over into many more MMORPGs to come.
Though the lands of Dark Age have become quiet and the battlegrounds dormant since the rise of the new MMORPGs, Dark Age of Camelot is still a favorite of mine, for it was the first online game that made sense to me and had a reason to come back again and again. Every now and then I return to these lands and savor the moments of being an Arthurian Legend!
