There’s a whole lot to digest in this month’s Dark Age of Camelot producer’s letter, but perhaps the most significant is the move by Broadsword to introduce a microtransaction system into the game some time this spring.
Initially, the cash microtransactions will be used for cosmetic appearances, although the devs said that it will be expanded to include other, non-pay-to-win options: “Once this system is in place and working smoothly, we’ll be able to work on the much-requested quality-of-life features like race, gender, and name respecs as well as potentially account to account character transfers!”
The team admitted that it may have pushed out game changes “too far, too quickly” last year and promised to revisit those this year. Other early 2017 projects include nerfing pet classes, retuning several hybrid classes, launching a new PvE campaign next month, and getting out the new forums and website by this summer.
