BioWare-Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot is like a grizzled veteran soldier trapped deep behind enemy lines with nothing more than a bayonet and a can of rations -- no matter how bleak or hopeless things get, the old cuss just refuses to die. Incidentally, how weird is it to mention BioWare in a Dark Age of Camelot post? Anyway, I digress.
Today marks the latest update to the long-running realm vs. realm MMORPG, and version 1.107 brings a few noteworthy changes to the endless fray. Chief among them is a class balance tweak that allows Savages to train the Realm Ability Charge. The powers-that-be have also lightened up on the stiff penalties for not paying your rent, as player housing contents will now be repossessed (as opposed to destroyed) when you fail to pay the landlord on time. Finally, Mythic has switched the realm timer back on, and it will now take five minutes to swap realms on the same cluster.

I think my DAoC housing rent expired about six years ago.

Gotta love this game, it just goes on and on. Perish the thought, they might even release an expansion again in the future or completely reinvent it to modern standards.

DAoC was my first MMO, and what a joyride it was in the early days. Even though I still play it every now and then (call it nostalgia if you will), it saddens me to see it stuck in maintenance mode like this.

If it went free-to-play I'd return. If only to see how much of a surge we could get for RvR.

I would absolutely play if it was free and had a shop to purchase things. I have tried to go back and play but so much has changed that it is very confusing for new players. I think F2P would be a very smart move.

I hate to see this game doing so badly. I loved the story of the game, having the three realms and all the different races/classes. I would love to see an improved game with the same factions.
