 21 years! A truly exceptional milestone – and whether you’ve explored, experienced, and fought with us since launch, or joined the fray along the way, the Dark Age of Camelot team, past and present, are profoundly grateful to each and every one of you.
On November 1st, a Bag of Goodies will be offered to every level 50 character across the realms. This small gesture of our gratitude will contain many surprises to suit the variety of players that makes DAoC so special!
Join us in raising a goblet, mug, or chalice to 21 years of the magic of Dark Age of Camelot!
Cheers! Sláinte! Skål!
Please note: the Bag of Goodies is delayed until Nov 1st so nothing contained in it affects the King's RvR Tournament.
Thank you for everything and we hope you'll enjoy what we have in store!

Our new event starts now! Decide your path, but decide carefully. Not everything is as it seems!
Whisperings across the realms tell of strange deals being made. Deals which affect the power struggle between good and evil in our very frontiers. Players are urged to exercise caution when hunting around the far regions of the realms:
-
Caer Benowyc – and surroundings
-
Bledmeer Faste – and surroundings
-
Dun Crauchon – and surroundings
-
The entirety of Ellan Vannin
Strangely, these regions seem to sit on crossroads. Surely that is nothing more than chance?
