Dark Age of Camelot…

…that’s a name I have not heard of in a long time…

…I didn’t even know the game still existed…

Yeah, I played it for a while between stopping EQ1 and starting WoW when that released. Fun game at the time, but the expansions took a lot away from the experience as they naturally muddled the idea behind it.

Still, an important stepping stone in the progression of MMORPGs, in particular to mass PvP.

And even today there are no other games that do PvP as well as DAoC did. I am playing guild wars 2 and that is as close an experience as I have found in any newer mmo.

My thoughts, exactly. I still have the original game in the box . World of WarCrack captured me for a few years. I still remember the beauty of the world as I ran or rode horse between cities. The pine forests with snow falling was amazing.

I lost interest because I’m a solitary gamer and you really need to be a guild member to enjoy it. That leads to mandatory raids at 2 am, etc., which I just can’t handle.

cries in theurgist

I’ve never found another class that replicates the theurgist. I miss my pocket army.
