We had a lot of fun on the Devcast going over our plans for patch 1.121, 1.122, and beyond as well as throwing out several off-the-wall ideas for some of the classes to get your feedback on!
So much so, that we'll be doing a follow-up podcast at a soon-to-be announced time that will have taken into account your feedback and will announce our more finalized ideas for the classes!
If you missed this first one, tune in below!
In addition to the video, Carol, Lea, and Fugo have transcribed the devcast in English, German, and French for you to enjoy as well!

The Electronics Arts Origin store has made the following change to in order to better prevent fraud: it can now take up to 72 hours to receive a code from Origin on some purchases.
This timeframe is dependant on the number of codes purchased at once as well as other variables. Most players should still receive their codes within 24 hours, however, it would be a good idea to order any new game time codes 72 hours prior to your account subscription ending if you wish to guarantee no subscription downtime.
If, for some reason, a purchased code is not sent within 72 hours, please contact Origin's support directly.
When contacting Origin, please only state the following: "I did not receive my code after making a purchase on the Origin store. My order# is #####." Mentioning Dark Age of Camelot can sometimes result in being directed back to our support team, who unfortunately cannot assist with this issue, so be sure to only mention the above quote.
We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work with Origin to streamline this process.

The Midwinter celebration has finally come to an end and the RvR, experience, and crafting bonuses have returned to normal along with it. The traveling band of merchants have packed up their wares and moved on, promising to return one day. But fret not! For the following Hot Fix notes are now live!
-
The Buggane's Obelisk RvR objective in the center of Ellan Vannin has had the following changes made to it:
-
The Buggane's Obelisk and Obelisk Rubble have had their hitpoints significantly reduced so that small groups can destroy them in a reasonable amount of time.
-
The obelisk's buff, Buggane's Folly, will
no longer still persist through death and has had its duration increased from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
-
Finally, the RP, BP, and Coin buff now provides different bonuses based on the character's realm rank, as follows:
-
Realm Ranks 1L0 through 3L9 receive a 75% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
-
Realm Ranks 4L0 through 5L9 receive a 50% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
-
Realm Ranks 6L0 through 7L9 receive a 25% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
-
Realm Ranks 8L0 and up will receive the original 15% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
-
To receive the buff, destroy the obelisk rubble so that your realm's obelisk can be built. Then, simply right-click on the obelisk to receive the bonus!
-
(Gaheris-only) Manannan mac Lir's encounter inside the underground keep on Ellan Vannin should behave properly now.
