A Friar's tale... [ 2 Comments ]
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
I proudly present to you this story entitled For the Soul of a Woman written by Ranorian! Enjoy!

> As dawn rose over the Southern Black Mountains of Albion, the red-tinged rays crept over the great bridge leading from Camelot and Ludlow to the barely civilized northern lands of Albion. But the bridge was not silent as it usually was in this early hour. Two men stood facing each other across the bridge, stationed at either side. On the northern side a small bluish creature calmly gazed across, a long whip with vicious spikes strung along it was slung easily at his side.

Updated Character Builder - Charplan v1.5.6
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
Tired of not having any good (ok, updated) character builders to figure out how you want to spec your toons? Affek spotted this rather snazzy character builder from hell which you can download from Sourceforge.
I downloaded and tried it myself, it's pretty nice.

Courtships Dance returns! [ Comment ]
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
After a short summer break, our regular column schedule is back on it's feet! So here's the seventh installment of Courtships Dance by Miss Saeraphyna!

> Melann nodded from the wall top as three groups headed out the front gate towards the Albion encampment. Ggranger and Humanmullet patrolled the wall top along with Wynntr and Cinir. Ssnark carefully closed the gate and shot the bolt home after the last person had exited the keep. The firbolg warden quickly mounted the stairs to join the rest of the defenders. Eager eyes watched the departing groups wishing that they could be a part of the attack.

Grab Bag Evasions
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
In this week's action-packed Grab Bag Sanya tries to explain how evade actually works (I always thought it was based on dex/quick, the level of evade, and the to-hit bonus of your attacker), the tower in Bri Leith, to-hit modifiers for styles, confuse spells in rvr, timers in /use and /use 2, cleric smite healing, trophy hunting and tougher than usual monsters in POC.

A couple of hot fixes for a Friday afternoon.

> Just two:
> - The Dexterity version of the Crown of Zahur should be able to level off any monster or player kill.

Thane Gone Wild in Albion Housing [ 55 Comments ]

Was it worth the five-day ban? After watching this video of a thane getting inside the Albion housing zone on the Killibury Cluster, I think it was. The movie runs for 3:51 and features a funky Wham soundtrack. Thanks Darkmoonprincess.

Player Spotlight featuring Tuneses [ Comment ]
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
The Dark Age of Camelot Vault would like to introduce its newest feature, spotlighting the guilds and players of Dark Age of Camelot. Our next interview comes from a player currently in Midgard on the Gareth server. Telling us about herself is Tuneses!

> GENERAL PLAYER QUESTIONS
> Camelot Vault: Any real life info? Age, profession, location?
> Tuneses: 26,F, Tech Support, newly emigrated from Canada to Pennsylvania, USA; and I like long walks on the Beach.
> CV: When did you start playing DAOC?
> Tuneses: I got the game for Christmas 2001.
> TAILORED PLAYER QUESTIONS
> CV: Why do you personally still play DAOC after all these years?
> Tuneses: Couple of reasons. Main reason is that it's something both my husband and I enjoy a lot. Why DAOC specifically? I think there is so much to do with 3 realms and it seems to stay fresh. The PvP system is the best out there at the moment, and there is nothing more fun then killing players. I will be trying out Warhammer and that would be the only game to make me leave DAOC.

Here are a few screenshots of Tuneses ingame.

Click here to read the rest of the interview
The Dark Age of Camelot Vault now has a guild and player spotlight section! Each week, we will spotlight a different guild or player with a short questionnaire. While we will provide you with the interview questions, we will gladly accept any information that you wish to provide. This includes your website, screenshots, stories, major achievements/events you have been involved in, etc. If you or your guild are interested in being interviewed, send Laighean a PM!

CS Needs YOU [ 11 Comments ]
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
If you've always wanted to work at Mythic, here's your chance!

> If you want to be a game artist, you need to have studied art. Ditto programming. But if you want to be a world builder and work your way up to designer, the best way in is to start in customer service and impress everyone with how smart, creative, and hardworking you are. We're about to have another round of promotions from the CS pool, but we can't promote those deserving men and women until their replacements are trained. That replacement could be you... and it could be you moving to building and design in 2007. So apply, already: http://www.mythicentertainment.com/jobs/csreps7-30-04.html

Matt Firor Leaves Mythic [ 141 Comments ]
Print News | Mail News | Category: Columns
Broken Toys (the blog of the artist formerly known as Lum the Mad) is reporting that long-time Dark Age of Camelot Producer and Vice President of Mythic Matt Firor is no longer with the company:

> TASS is authorized to announce that Matt Firor is no longer with EA Mythic. He headed up the development of DAOC as its producer through launch, first expansion, and thereafter.
> When I mention the good people that I left behind at Mythic, Firor was on that list. He was very much involved in the nuts and bolts of game development, and had a very realistic attitude towards what was possible and fun.
> Firor on the stress of balancing a live game: “Everybody that wants their character to be more powerful, raise their hands! (gleefully waves arms in air)”

It looks like he'll be starting up his own studio.
