Summary: WARNING - Please Read
Review: Fantastic MMORPG. For those of you who don't know that means Massively Multiuser Online Roleplaying Game. And yes it is online. There's no single player version of the game. A lot of people get confused by that.The basic concept is that you pick a server on which to play (typically the best is to choose a server that is low population at around 5:30 - 6pm EST. You'll see what i mean once you go through the account setup). After you pick the server you pick your realm: Albion - The Camelot in DAoC. This realm is based on Arthurian Legend and a lot of the class based 'epic' quests deal with the rising forces of Morgana LeFay and the like. Midagard - Norse legend here. The hulking Trolls, the bulky Norse, and the vertically challenged kobold are teamed up in defense of this realm. Hybernia - More of the 'Fairy Legend' somewhat celtic in nature I suppose. Here you have the Elves, Humans and Halflings (called Lurikreen) fighting to defend the realm. Each realm has its strengths and weaknesses for example Midgaard has the better Fighter Classes, Albion the better Healing classes and Hybernia the better Wizardly classes. As you work you're way up in level they have dungeons and mini 'RvR' (realm vs. realm) areas to play around in. RvR is fun in that you encounter people's characters from other realms (i.e. you're a Midgardian fighting Hybernians and Albionians). The game is rich with quests and encounters and I've found it to be much more friendly than Everquest (the other players are nicer). Excellent game if you like or would like to try the true on-line gaming experience. Also, in comparison to EverQuest, this game caters to everyone from the powergamer to the 1-2 time a week player. I often find logging on with only 15 minutes to play just as fulfilling as when I have 15 hours =)

Summary: A truly extraordinary game!
Review: To those of you who enjoy the fantasy rpg's this is a must! disclaimer: In case you didn't already know, this is not a stand alonge game, like Warcraft III or Diablo II, instead you must pay a monthly fee to play ([$-$]/mo)for it is on-line only. The visuals are amazing! With this expansion, SI, you get the improved graphics engine that shows shadowing effects, reflection's in water, amazing sunsets, enhanced spell effects, etc. The gameplay is just as before, with DAOC, however now the menu system has been upgraded and has become a bit more friendly. Additionally you get a few more new races for a player character, and two more classes per realm. You can play this game SOLO if you wish, or you can, as most do, group up with other players to explore this new realm. I've played this game for about a year now, and I am still enjoying it :-)

Summary: Unbelievable graphics, great game!
Review: The graphics in the game are unbelievable, you feel totally immersed in the environment around you and it doesn't look cartoon'ish like all other mmorg's we've seen. The graphics are second to none, no one has even come close to this quality. Customer service is excellent, within the hour I have received replies via e-mail and was able to resolve a frustrating problem over the phone a few times immediately...way to go!! Having played all the other big name competition games out there I lean towards DAoC as my #1 pick.
After level 50 it is endgame in every sense and yes you do grow bored quickly at 50. However, re-rolling another one of the awesome character class/races is addictive and a new game all over again especially if you choose a new realm/server or try the pvp server. So an expansion with even more new character choices to be made and new lands to explore is an awesome addition to an already great game. Only negative thing that really bothers me about this game is the necessity to group for efficient experience in character leveling, solo is impossible for most classes and impossible for all from level 45-50. I really hated spending over an hour just trying to put a good group together or not being accepted by a group when playing a not so "group friendly" character. You learn to deal with it, but I would rather have more options to play solo when I feel like it or don't have much time.

Summary: i have played this game for about 1 year now
Review: I have had the privlage to play many online games. ( I.E. EQ,UO,diablo I & II) By far DAOC (as all of us Dark Age Of Cametot players like to call it) has been the funnest and yet simplest online RPG I have come across. Your camera angle is completly under your conTROLL you can go from 1st person to a 90 degree angle above head view at the touch of a button, to make it evev better you can zoom in and out and angle it up and down as well. Movement can be proformed with both mouse and arrow keys its up to you which you like better. As for graphics... its no mario brother game for the game cube... But it sure is close. Like most online games DAOC tends to update/add stuff to the game about every 2 weeks so after you buy the game look forward to many megs of patches to download. and many more to come as they add new items, spells, monsters, quests, and even new abilities. Game play is also another plus you can set the keyboard any way you want. (I.E. If you want jump to be the [space] u can make it that way) move ment is smoth and very detailed with a desent frame rate.(the better system you have deturmens the quality of frame rate) Charactor progression at the early lvls ( 0 -20 ) is rather easy and after 20 it becomes slower and more chalenging. In each of the 3 realms there are many monsters to fight and certain places to find them. Monsters are also color coded in lettering in a little box that comtains your health, endurance,mana,exp.,and the health bar of who or what u hav targeted. colors represent the amount of lvl diffrence the monster / player is from you: in order gray as super low green,blue,yellow (your lvl), orange, red,and purple(you will die if you attack it) If all that isn't enough... for all you ICQ, AIM, IRC (u get my point) the chating system is far above all online games. You set a friends list up so you know who in your realm is online and even set up private chats betwenn you and up to 50 of you buddies. there is also a guild system which has its own chat as well as guild officers chat. aliances can be made between guilds and an aliance chat is formed. you form groups of 2-8 people and a group chat is formed. Not to metion the brodcast chat system in towns so you may ask other players for directions and sell your goodies. and last but not least there is main chat that people in a certin area can hear. its not as complicated as it sounds... but i will tell you it is easier than ICQ. So to say the least this is a must buy for people of all ages. It will become your Life, your world, your family, and your Fun. oh yea this is a review for the expansion... like this game could get better... they are uptating the graphics engine! as well as new aeras of the world to explore and new classes and races to chose from.

Summary: New content for a solid, fun game
Review: ...The bottom line is that DAoC is a fun, stable game and if you enjoy fantasy MMOGs then you should definately check it out. Shrouded Isles has a new version of the graphics engine which is a lot faster and simply stunning: even simple things like the leaves on trees, running water, and "real" shadows greatly improve the immersive quality of the visuals. There's also going to be new races, classes and monsters as well as new areas to explore...For current players, the expansion is a must; for new players, it should make joining the DAoC community even more enticing.

Summary: This Game Rocks
Review: I Thought I might try to write a more descriptive review then some of these others. The game deserves it. First of all this game does rock. There are 3 diverse realms, or countries you can call your home. Once you've chosen that, you can choose between many variety of races, and professeions. You fight monsters in the typical 'hack and slash' manner to gain levels and new skills, but you can also go on quests for such experience. Thats nothing uncommon to a game like this. What sets this one apart is RvR. Realm versus realm combat. Each of the 3 realms group together with fellow guildmates, and friends alike, to go on massive (iv'e seen 200 live people in a raid or more) raids to try to besiege and take realm keeps. These are keeps in a designated area known as the Frintieer, or no mans land. Here you fight epic sized battles with sometimes as many as 200 people on each side, or on all 3 sides, fighting over controll of keeps. There are also relics that can be taken from these keeps giving bonuses to the whole realm that owns them so long as they do. When you make a kill in RvR you dont gain experience, or loose it when you die; but you gain 'realm points'. When these are enough, you gain a realm rank which gives you points to spend on special "realm skills" which generally are really cool. These skills make it a benifit to participate in RvR, but no one would be required to do it. Unlike other games where you have 1v1 (or 3v1 as I've seen)PvP style, that quickly gets old when you cant turn it back off until some timmer wears down.... Over all this game really does a great job, it will be interesting to see how the expansion changes this already exellent game.
