While many MMO studios wait until January to release their year preview letters (and the lazy ones put it off until Ash Wednesday), Dark Age of Camelot is getting on top of next year’s to do list by laying out its plans for 2018. For starters? A free-to-play version for next fall, because go big or go home.
“We’re thrilled to announce a new way for players to experience Dark Age of Camelot’s iconic realm vs realm warfare for free with Dark Age of Camelot: Endless Conquest,” Broadsword wrote. “The Endless Conquest will be a new account type that allows players to enjoy Dark Age of Camelot through level 50 (and beyond) for free, without a paid subscription, forever. Endless Conquest players will be able to level all the way to 50 on a limited selection of classes, participate fully in RvR, and earn Master Levels, Champion Levels, and Realm Rank — to a point.”
That’s only the beginning of the team’s plans. Broadsword is working on an alternative ruleset server, the new website, new forums, improving the RvR experience, a marketing push to grow the game, more keep-based objectives, additional hotbar options, and increased studio communication (including a monthly dev livestream).
