We can’t let Valentine’s Day slip by without mentioning at least one more event, this one in one of the most classic MMORPGs our genre’s got.
Dark Age of Camelot is indeed alive and kicking, and it’s running a short multi-pronged Valentine’s Day event through February 18th. Most notably, players are commanded to take on the Golden Lovers – that is, two golden world bosses, Solerila and Solabas, in exchange for rare drops as well as quest loot accessible to all three realms. The finale quest allows players to collect the Love’s Shield item, which honestly looks way too nice to be in a game this old, but we’re not complaining.
Other quests include performing tasks for Russel the imp, the level 45 mission called Keeping Company, and even some throwbacks:
“Valentine’s Traditions: These quests will offer three old style quests which were part of the original Dark Age of Camelot Valentine’s Day content. Players will be able to complete the quest up to eight times, which is based on the number of times the original quest has been offered. Players will be rewarded with a Hearts Cloak, Heart-Shaped Box, experience, and coin. Visit Rumdor in Mag Mell, Hrolf in Mularn, or Sir Prescott in Camelot Hills to begin the quest!”
