Mythic Entertainment will continue to bill your credit card!

This is just to serve as a warning to those of you who create an account for Dark Age of Camelot. You will be given two choices: 1. Renew for one month @12.95 2. Renew for three months for a reduced price. Well, I opted for the first method and wrongly figured that I would be billed for just a month at a time. Nope! Mythic Entertainment will continue to bill you month after month which I discovered after-the-fact on my credit statement. I had to call their Virginia office to cancel and they are not pleasant to deal with.

My rating is based on the amount of money this game ended up costing me versus the level of enjoyment the game provided. Game enjoyment minus amount of $$ spent = 1 star

No thanks

Not a fun game at all. I have 4 level 50 maxed out toons. I have played this game for about 1 year. It is all now being hacked out by cheaters. Therefore I would pass on this game. Enemy players now have the ablity to heal themselves as much as they want. Really makes it sad, a once fun game to play , turns out to be a hack. Oh and if you do get the game and have any issues, have fun! Customer service lacks big time!!!!! I came up missing a really nice staff, 6 days later they got back to me , only to say, sorry we cant do anything. Also if somone on this amazon review says its a great game, maybe thats because they have a few to sell ya!!!! They dont want ya to know the real deal!!!

DAoC Troubles

This game was just outstanding, up to there Trials of Atlants. ToA, changed all formats of the game. You now need not only just a level 50 but the ToA to just survive in this game. If you are looking for the great reviews of the game of DAoC, they are gone.
Anyone starting out new will have the worst time in leveling because all that have level 50 char's do /level 20, so the new person on the block is for the most part out. If some one gets this with out ToA, you will not have the fun that was once there in this game. Over all i will now give this a 1 star from a 5 from 1 year ago and the reason being that anyone that starts now will have a long time too go be compairable to some level 40's. If you think you would like to try the game you will have to get ToA and spend the time to get a level 50 and then try to get there newer stuff in ToA too event survive. Its a sad day for Mythic on New Additions

Huh? This games graphics seem 2000 years old!!!

I don't understand who likes this game? The graphics are VERY ancient. There also is no adventure to this game. The only thing you do is level, and level, and level. The adventure tasks that your trainer gives you have about 30 words in them, that's all. 30 words that's all, thats the big adventure in this game? To show that your in a city, there are 4 or 5 stones around in a circle, thats it. I think a high school student could of done a much better job. By the way I only played Midgard, I don't know about the other realms.
But don't take my word for it, you can download and play for free. Just check out the graphics, and redundant music, its embarrassing. Go to the co. main website download the game and play for free if you really want to see BAD.

Mythic should have a couple servers without TOA

Before TOA I would give this game a 4.5 star rating, after TOA released I will give it 0.5 stars. It would be nice if Mythic added a couple non TOA servers. I have five level 50 characters that I will not play much longer after my account expires. Since TOA released, the winner in RVR is not the best fighters, the winner is who has the most TOA artifacts. IMO took all the fun away from RvR. I would not suggest buying this game.

Overated

This game is overated! Some of these online websites that review games are so biased toward games. The games that focus mainly on hack and slash seem always to score much higher than the games that actually have some depth. I have tried a few Online Games and I have come to the conclusion Ultima Online is by far the best there is. EVE and WWII Online are also very good online games. This game really annoys me in many ways. I think this game is for younger audiences. Everything seems too childish in this game to me just like Everquest. The penalty for dying is not very harsh. Item insurance I think is a dumb idea. When a character dies they SHOULD lose everything. Characters in DAOC automatically gain spells as they level. That really spoils the game. It is a lot more interesting when you have to buy spells and it cost regeants(special ingredients needed to cast a spell) to cast spells. I am sick of experience based RPG games. Ultima Online made leveling a lot more interesting when it did away entirely with the experience system and instead made a skill based system. In my opinion this is more practical. The Player vs. Player system in DAOC I think is one of the worst I have seen. Ultima Online's Siege Perilous shard is still by far the best for Player vs. Player combat. Eve online and WWII online also have excellent Player vs. player combat systems. The crafting/trade skills are still limited compared to what characters can do in Ultima Online. Ultima Online still has the best economy system in my opinion. Ultima Online has a much more broad list of professions characters can persue than in DAOC. UO's treasure hunting & theif profession is unmatched. Although DAOC doesn't lock players into a profession as much as Everquest, it is not nearly as flexible as Ultima Online. In Ultima Online if a grandmaster fighter decides he wants to be a mage or a barb, or anyting else he can do so. Characters never really have to start over from scratch in Ultima Online if they don't like their profession. DAOC its flexible up to level 5, big deal thats only a day of work at most.

this game was great until toa was released

now it's just a bad eq clone riddled with timesinks 9hr mob spawns fighting for camps etc..

pvp used to be really good. you had a feeling that if you won/lost a fight, it was because you outplayed or were outplayed. now winning losing is just a function of whoever subjected themselves to the largest number of timesinks.

So so.

I just want to say b4 I get started that I tried this game after enjoying World of Warcraft for a week or so. What does this mean? It means its like trying a biscuit after eating a pizza and giving a comparison...there is none.

The only reason I even downloaded this game was because I was waiting to get World of Warcraft after its open beta ended and needed something to hold me over. I read up on other mmorpgs out there and saw that this one was very close to WoW. It was...but it was much more boring.

To start, the camera movements were horrible, I couldn't even look behind me without stopping and turning around...this is rediculous when being chased by an enemy and not knowing when its safe to stop running. Moving from side to side(strafing) is slow as hell, to the point you dont even use it most of the time. Leveling is probably the worst thing about this game. You find yourself spending up to 3 or 4 hours a session beating on all sorts of wierd things trying to gain experience points. Masssssivvvveeee unbalanced issues with the character. For example: the fighter(warrior type) is stinged out so bad. He has no chance whatsoever against a caster. I started as a fighter and got to level 9 in about 2 days. When I made a caster I did it in a few hours.

To give the game some credit, it does have a helllll of a lot of stuff to do, you probably wont even do a quarter of the things you can do in this game b4 you are sick of it, but its still there. I was able to play World of Warcraft for 10 days straight. Every waking hour was spent playing or thinking about it. And when the beta was over it left me feeling like I just stopped doing a drug. I felt soooo bored with everything, and still do, which is why im here right now writing this review. The game is PURE masterpiece...its crack. You will be hooked for life, especially if you liked warcraft.

Oh enough of this...buy World of Warcraft, its 20x better...problem is wait a month or two because theres so many people playing it right now that its causing server problems...major ones.
