16th Anniversary Come Back to Camelot Campaign
Sixteen Years! Dark Age of Camelot has been a wonderful home, escape, playground, refuge, and of course, battlefield since day one on October 10th, 2001. We’re celebrating fifteen glorious years with all of you - including many who've been with us from the start.
So raise your glass, mouse, or keyboard to this venerable game we love and remember the friends you’ve made, enemies you’ve conquered, battles you’ve waged, and fun you’ve had over the years. Here’s to those fond memories and to making new ones for the next sixteen years and beyond!

In addition, Patch 1.124 introduces character movement improvements, fixes tooltip/delve crashes, and adds in better item-stacking mechanics! We were also happy to release our complete Item Database over the summer with information on all of the loot you could want!

DAoC Swag
Be sure to check out the official DAoC store for all your real-life DAoC loot! If you can imagine it, it probably has your favorite knot or realm logo on it! These make perfect gifts with the holidays only a few short months away!
Upcoming Changes
Website Revamp
Our second stab at a website revamp is making great progress! Enjoy the behind-the-scenes rough draft and see where we are headed!
Race, Gender, Name Respecs
These will allow players to change their race, name, and/or gender at a cost of Mithril (MTX) currency! We also have plans to introduce account to account and Ywain intra-server transfers later next year. Race, Gender, and Name respecs are due out early next year!
Keep Difficulty and RvR Improvements
Keeps and specifically keep doors, walls, guards, and Lords will be getting a massive overhaul and improvement in terms of difficulty. Keeps will once again be the epic undertakings they should be in the Frontier!
Each keep within a realm will have unique guards and lord room encounters! Keep door and wall difficulty will scale from outer to the inner keep and keeps further into a realm will also be harder to capture than those close to enemy lines! Patch 1.125 launches with these keep changes and other RvR improvements early next year!
