While arrows filling the sky is a common occurance on the battlefields in Albion, Hibernia and Midgard, today begins that time of year when not all arrows are enemy fire. There will be some love in the air, mixing in with the well known sounds of clashing armies.
The Valentine's Day event starts today, February 8th and will run until Wednesday, February 22nd.

Have you readied your weapons, wisdom, magic and video editing tools? Our first DAoC video contest starts today.
And the topic is: “The 3 Realms of Dark Age of Camelot”.
Give us an introduction to what these realms stand for and what makes yours so special. Pick one side and explain why someone should choose Albion, Hibernia or Midgard over the others. Why are the bucket heads, the tree huggers or the stinkers your hated enemies? Let this video inspire you and have fun with it. Go and be creative, and let the other realms know who’s best! There will be one winner for each Realm.

MMORPG.com used the holiday break to conduct an interview with Stuart Zissu, Producer for Dark Age of Camelot, reviewing the past ten years of successful RvR.
"Why does the three realm break down in Dark Age of Camelot work so well? How come we have not seen it replicated as much in MMOs as it probably should have been?
There are many reasons why the three realm system works, but I think the biggest is the self-balancing. When one realm gets too far ahead, it's only a matter of time before the other two realms knock them down a notch. This allows for an ever changing and engaging RvR gamespace and reduces the feeling of hopelessness that can occur with a 2 sided conflict. With only 2 sides, if one gets too far ahead, it is tough for the underdogs to make a comeback.
As to why we haven't seen three realm RvR more, I think that is because of the difficulty that is inherent with it. It is a lot of hard work to balance a game for two sides, let alone three. Even after 10 years, we are still tweaking things here and there."

Happy New Year and see you in the frontiers!
