Product Description

Product Description
King Arthur's death brought Camelot into a dark age of 3-tier divisiveness where struggles for power were commonplace with violent means and outcomes. Experience the most intense massively multiplayer role-playing action ever created. Face off against thousands of real-life opponents and join the multitudes locked in combat on the battlefields of Dark Age of Camelot. Lay siege to castles, invade neighboring Realms, and reclaim ancient relics to gain glory for your homeland. The world is yours for the taking!
Dark Age of Camelot celebrates its fifth anniversary with the release of Labyrinth of the Minotaur, the new expansion for the epic fantasy massively-multiplayer online role-playing game. This is the seventh expansion for Camelot and it introduces a hulking new player race, a unique new player class, a massive new dungeon, and an exciting new Realm vs. Realm (RvR) game play experience.
The ancient race of Minotaur has returned to the lands of Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia to reclaim powerful but corrupt relics hidden long ago by their ancestors. Lust for these relics once brought about the downfall of the powerful Minotaur kingdom and their evil influence now threatens the kingdoms of Man.
Only the mightiest of heroes will be called in the service of their king to aid the Minotaur with their quest. They will venture deep beneath the former Minotaur capital on the island of Agramon to explore the maze-like Labyrinth, a dungeon whose size knows no equal. New Levels - Champion Levels 6-10. Five additional Champion Levels allow players to expand their powers, abilities, and item slots. Requires the original Dark Age of Camelot and Darkness Rising expansion to play

5.0 out of 5 stars A former passion, March 9, 2007

By	Hoyt "Hoyt" (McMurray, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I currently play WoW, but this game used to be my life. It was TERRIBLY fun. Almost too fun. I haven't played it for sometime but assuming its still relatively populated I HIGHLY recommend it for any MMO player who is looking to escape WoW for a little bit. Thinkin about buying it again myself(uninstalled it from my computer years ago and lost my account information.. :( ) but probably wont. To the guy below me... I'm not one to toss around insults but wow. IT SAYS ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX!!! ADDITIONAL FEES REQUIRED! Can you not read?? It's not the clerks responsibility to inform you of such things when they are clearly stated on the front of the box. And it will just make you look stupid to come up on amazon and gripe about it. All of us are aware of such fees. I'm surprised they approved your review. For all of those who don't know... YES you have to pay extra for this game but its WORTH IT!! Great game.

Set in the era right after King Arthur's rule... you pick a country, albion, hibernia, or Midgard. Each one is representative of a real life middle age country. You fight as a soldier in the army of each one of these countries against actual players who picked the other countries(known in the game as "realms").

Incredibly fun and will provide MANY hours of gameplay at least 500. Pick it up. 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Darkage Of Camelot, December 4, 2006

By	Jeffery A. Read "Gamer X" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is game by far is one of the best ones out there today . Because first off the game has been around for a good while now , and alot of the major issues are out of the way . There are alot of things to cover on the dvd packs everything onto one little dvd disk compared to alot of cds. The realm vs realm is a cool feature to the game , there are battelgrounds and the new frontiers where players from all 3 realms can attack towers, keeps and claim them for there realm . You also earn realm points from killing other players from the different realms and those points allow you to get new skills for your character . Each realm also has relics that you can snatch and place back on your realms side that will give everyone in your realm bonus skills. There is even siege items that can be used to take down walls,towers, and even doors. There is also pve normal world of just killing thing's . The pve in this game is verry easy to handle in groups or solo . There are so many classes for players to select from on each realm . One of the cool class'es in the game is called the animist . The animist can summon a plant type creature that will attack anything , as also you can summon other plants that attacks anything in the area of it without being told . This class comes in verry handy when defending things for your realm , in the battelgrounds you can rack up alot of realm points with it. The battelgrounds in this game are split in level ranges kinda like a little taste to what the new frontier areas are like or in short big boy rvr.
In a honest gamer's view and someone who has played this game for a good while . Darkage Of Camelot is a verry good choice for your online gaming & The player base is verry cool as well helpful to others . If your looking for a good time check out this game ! Happy Hunting !

4.0 out of 5 stars Back after a 3 year hiatis, July 1, 2007

By	Keith R. Leblanc - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

It's been a good 3+ years since i left DaOC. Since that time i've played EQ, EQII, Vanguard and a few other Online MMO's. First, it was great to see they still had my 44 Cabalist intact. After a call to Mythic customer service to get my login info i was able to get my Cabby out of mothballs and begin play.

The game looks very beautiful now. With the new graphic engines (i stopped playing just after Shrouded Isles) it looks like an entirely new game.
Servers are now placed into Clusters. Most likely due to the decline in player base over the years. On a good night, i see about 300 people on Morgan. It's funny how you can remember things even after not playing for all those years. I was able to hoof it to Darkness Falls and play a few hours before a few Mids wiped me and my Sim out. That's what i missed most about DaOC. The adrenaline rush of being attacked at any moment from another human player. And with no death penalties in XP you just run back over. It was just fun to be back in the game again.
What concerns me is the low volume of players still playing. How long can and will Mythic go with 11,000 players playing worldwide? When some games like WoW have millions playing can Mythic survive as the numbers continue to decline? I guess time will tell. That was my biggest concern. Coming back to a fun game only to have it shut down because there's no enough cost-effectivness in keeping the servers going for so few people. I just hope it doesn't happen.
