Friends and Realm Mates,
23 years ago today, in the town of Fairfax in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA - Dark Age of Camelot was introduced to the world by a collective of talented and like-minded people. At that time, DAoC was a bit of a rarity – MMOs hadn’t really made their mark on the gaming landscape, so I believe it’s fair to say that nobody could have predicted what the remarkable course and impact of this game would be.
If in 2001, someone were to have told the team at Mythic Entertainment that the three realms would still be at war in 2024, they might have been dubious but (and this I know for a fact) extremely proud. Broadsword is home to several members of the original Dark Age of Camelot development and launch team – and for me, even after 18 years, I still relish their stories, share in their reminiscence, and revel at rare bits of arcane knowledge.
It's a joy and a privilege to have the opportunity to continue to serve DAoC and its community of players, and as we approach the end of 2024 and head into the new year, we are excited to continue to bring you content that stays true to the heart of this game we love so much.
Faithfully yours,
Eldariian
Our 23rd anniversary begins with realm bonuses on both Ywain and Gaheris. Following on from those we'll have Anniversary Gifts for all your level 50 toons, and Traveling Merchants will make a spooky return. We'll also be starting two events later this month: one new event and, of course, the other our Halloween event! Look out for a new special Halloween MTX item coming soon!
Later in October we'll have Patch 1.129 covering some class balance changes along with some world and game updates. Keep an eye out for those Pendragon notes coming soon!
