Dark Age of Camelot for Windows

Pros: Glorified new instant message
Cons: It sucks like a Hoovah!

Dark Age of Camelot has got to be one of the biggest wastes of time I have ever encountered in the computer gaming world. I played it just a little bit longer than I did the original Outpost (by Sierra) game. I have a few friends who had just started...

Pros: Lots of things done right.
Cons: Too many things also done wrong.

Where to start with this game? It seemed to have a lot of promise when I first started playing it. Lots of nice things that were handled so well made it a lot of fun to play despite some of the problems. But the more I played the more the problems...

Pros: Good graphics, good control configuration, great atmosphere.
Cons: Weak sound at times, main cities can be laggy.

To be perfectly honest... I'm not fond of RPGs. I'm what some consider a brainless FPS player through and through. I like seeing things blow up when I hit a button, running around mindlessly jamming down whatever key fires my strongest weapon....

Pros: Improved graphics, one new race two new classes per realm, new continent to explore.
Cons: A decent expansion, but a bit overpriced, no free play-time.

Mythic released The Shrouded Isles to build on the success of Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC), arguably the most successful Massively Multi-Player On line Game (MMPOG). If you are not familiar with Dark Age of Camelot, feel free to check my Epinion at

Pros: 3 realms with very different classes, structured pvp conflict, visually appealing, good soundtrack
Cons: time sink, limited content, hard to learn what you will need later on your own

I was one of the masses who bought this game on release, and I'm one of the few from that era that is still playing. Dark Age of Camelot had and still has tons of potential to blow everyone else out of the water in the MMORPG market. The game has some...

Pros: Fun, expansive game world, endless interactions, roleplay with people from all over the world
Cons: Occasional disconnects, uneven patching, annoying people

I am an old school gamer. From my early years when I could be found navigating a theif thru the dark alleys of a D&D game to present day when my computer costs more than some cars I have revelled in the ability to escape my cares and woes in the fantasy...

Pros: Complex social context, limitless challenge fighting monsters, or other players
Cons: Monthly subscription, can be addictive

I find it really tough to review something as large and subjective as a Massively Multi-Player Online Game (MMPOG). The amount of content and potential in a game like this dwarfs almost every other game and genre out there.

I’ve played a...

Pros: Excellent character customization, huge worlds, trade skills, 3 different realms
Cons: Unbalanced classes, SLOW level gains after level 20-25, point and kill gets boring

My Experience
When I first purchased the Dark Age of Camelot, I rushed home to create an account. It only took about ten minutes from the start of installation until I was standing in a huge new fantasy world! Of course, I had a credit card...

Pros: Good graphics, lots of choices for characters.
Cons: Gets boring...really boring.

First off allow me to apologize for the title, you have no idea how hard it is not to do that. Anyway, on with the game.

I was in beta for this game, and it had alot of promise. A ton of classes to be, three realms, lots of races, lots of...

Pros: Nice scenery, decent farming/hunting for lvl 45+
Cons: Bad storyline, lots of unreachable content for casual gamers, still really a beta release

A little harsh in the title, but pretty true all in all. The newly released expansion for DAoC, named Trials of Atlantis introduces an entirely new continent to the Camelot world, that of the mythical Atlantis. Here you will find riches beyond your ...

Pros: Huge game world, decently priced, many different places to play/servers to join, good graphics
Cons: monthly subscription rate, can lag sometimes depending on your connection

This is the first game of this type that I have decided to try. What attracted me to it was the possibility of playing in a HUGE game world populated by thousands of people, lots of races and classes to choose from, an interesting take on player verses...

Pros: Realm Versus Realm Combat, Classes and Races spanning 3 realms, new PvP servers
Cons: Leveling slows after 30, some unbalanced classes

First and foremost, DAoC is going to be compared to Everquest, so let's get that out of the way. DAoC is better looking, better playing, and simply more fun than EQ. No more corpse-runs! Designated bind-stones, where binding is as simple as typing /bind...

Pros: Variety of skills, roles, and races.
Cons: Some of the classes are a little too powerful and others have serious limitations.

Dark Age of Camelot is a great game that allows its residents to play any role they desire: merchant / manufacturer, soldier / mercenary, or explorer. With numerous races and more being added all the time in expansion packs, the possibilities are mind ...

Pros: Great graphics
Cons: Slow and addicting

Just like EQ, DAOC is a game where you will only have alot of fun if you put alot of time and effort into it. This is most definately not a game for casual players. I bought DAOC for the RVR aspect since it sounded very interesting. However, unless your ...

Pros: RVR and PVP
Cons: bad story flow, game is in late stages

I would have loved to have made it to the end of the game which is level 50, but sadly I can only rate this game up to level 48 where I finally just left out of frustrations. I played this game two years ago, I played on the Albion side as a Paladin ...
