RPGFan has a preview of DAoC: Darkness Rising, based on a Mythic event. Here's a snip:After Mr. Arneson's speech, Jeff Hickman, executive producer of Dark Age of Camelot, spoke about Darkness Rising, an expansion that takes place story-wise after the Darkness Falls dungeon. First, though, he talked about where Dark Age of Camelot stood in the world. The game launched in 2001, has seen five expansions, and has been translated into seven languages, including Korean, Japanese, and Spanish. He then went on to say that Darkness Rising was outside the box for an MMO expansion - it wasn't just 'new classes, new zones, new abilities', but a focus on story, mounts, and Champion Levels and Weapons. There's a rebellion in each of the realms, and it's up to the player to find out what's going down and to save the kingdom from rebellion. When we had a chance to speak with Jeff a little bit later, he went on to explain that some quests had portions where the player had to disguise himself as a rebel and speak out the words of a heretic - all in front of other players in their realm. |
