Dark Age of Camelot

« I can't remember the last time I had so much fun just playing. At times I truly felt like a little kid completely immersed in a fantastic game of let's pretend. At my age that feeling doesn't come around to often but when it does you sure savor it. »

« If you want to keep a semblance of a normal life, do not buy this game. It will suck you in and refuse to let go, then you’ll end up with the same stench and bloodshot eyes that I have. »

« I strongly recommend this game. It is the best, most enjoyable and most addictive game I have seen in 19 years. »

« I've been sucked in by the splendor that is Dark Age Of Camelot. I've had nothing but good times since I started playing. Servers have been stable and the NetImmerse engine has withstood the steadily increasing flow of new players without a hitch. »

« The fact is, as an online role-playing game, Dark Age of Camelot surpasses any such game to date and promises to remain the finest in its class for a long time. »

« One of the best MMORPGs on the market. It has depth of play, dynamic interplayer action, solid graphics and terrific sound. »

« Most certainly the online role-playing game of the hour and quite possibly the year. »

« The gameplay’s the thing, though, and in Dark Age it’s the best I’ve yet experienced in an online RPG. [Feb 2002, p.77] »

« Its has been 22 years and still no other game came close, its just a masterpiece. The only down side, its just too complicated to casual players »

« I have so many great memories of this game. Soloing, grinding, dungeons, PVP, and climbing the castle walls. Only game I ever had a second account to have a cleric auto follow me around. I saw some people are still playing. Tempting. »

« I have played on and off since 2002 and back then this game was one of the best MMO ever created. When EA acquired this game it started to go downhill. The population started to decline, patches started to become sparser and sparser with content in them as well. Now under the guidance of broadsword, we are lucky to get an update a quarter with a few things that are well thought. Many of the updates now are for the elite small man group. as well as the last few updates tend to favor 2 of the 3 realms. I would not recommend this game to anyone at this point. I keep coming back due to the die-hards friends that still play this game, NOT THE GAME itself. »

« This was the greatest RvR MMORPG ever made. I only hope that one day another game is made that brings back the same spirit of this classic but with modern day graphics. Wouldn't that be nice. »

« Very fun and addicting MMORPG. I actually had to put the game down to focus on RL. Had great times playing on my Midgard warrior. One of the few MMORPGs to deliver the three faction warfare system. The game had a huge population in the early years. The crafted system was ok. Not easy to get used to at first, but immensely valuable once you learned a crafting trade. It could also have been more meaningful and take less time to achieve Legendary status. While RVR was extremely fun, classes have remained unbalanced for the most part, especially since the inception of TOA. There's either no log in timer now, or a very short one enabling realm hoppers to easily bounce back and forth between realms. Players use this to earn more rps on their toons when one realm holds the advantage therefore destroying all meaning of realm loyalty. I fear the most recent changes to the frontiers may finish the game off as it was already suffering from a dwindling population. Many of my friends have quit, retired, or have gone to other games. »

« Best MMO ever. WoW is not even close to this. Best PvP, RvR, crafting, outstanding PvE, Quests. The devs started to ruin it at the end unfortunately; making gear obsolete, totally destroying ToA, and complicating with too many gear items etc. Still, if the servers had population I would consider returning. »

« Oh DAOC, if i could go back in time and enjoy you again I would. You were everything an MMO and PVP MMO should be if you can merge in the Public Quests and other small advances we have made. Damn you Mythic and Damn you EABioware. Warhammer could have been so good as DAOC2. Q.Q »

« DAoC is the greatest MMORPG i grew up playing this game from the age of 11 back in 2002 till now. the graphics for one yes it compared to newer games that have come out its dull to few but it was the realistic of the graphics that made it feel real, the storie line the charcters the classes all schyronized well with the historical time this game was based off of. not to mention the RvR no game out there can compare to camelot in PvP combat running around with 50+ taking towers/castles/relics fighting one realm and all of a sudden the 3rd realm comes in and interferes and its a total chaos but fun you could also solo if u knew your way around the map, even the PvE was great you could group together and raid farm or just solo quests or kill to gain experiance in daoc u didnt have to do quests to level u could just run around and kill and honestly gain more xp from that thats something you dont see in these newer games and its kind of dragging to just do quest after quest. now threw the years ive tried other games like WoW WAR hammer rift but ive always came back to daoc and i would still play if it had a population to enjoy the game with like it used to be. and people who've played this game know what im talking about. but hands down not only was this the best MMORPG ive ever played. It is a game that sets the standards for how a MMORPG should be. with that being said i hope the camelot unchained will bring a success in rebirthing this gameplay type. »
