Mythic Entertainment, developer and publisher of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game, "Dark Age of Camelot," today announced that "Dark Age of Camelot: New rontiers" has gone live. A free downloadable expansion for all current subscribers, "New Frontiers" reinvents the games Realm versus Realm (RvR) combat system, Mythics own unique take on player vs. player or PvP play. New Frontiers makes heroic battles accessible to subscribers of all levels and abilities, deepens the tactical options
and strategies of battle, diversifies styles of warfare and establishes a new and expanded rewards system for Realm versus Realm combat.
Dark Age of Camelots RvR system was recognized as a unique addition to the MMORPG genre by players and reviewers alike upon the games original release in October 2001. Mythic continues to expand this unique system as part of its ongoing efforts to offer new challenges to the games subscribers. During RvR combat, player characters from the games three different Realms engage in life and death struggles across
numerous battlegrounds, keeps, and throughout expansive frontier areas.
In developing New Frontiers, Mythic has taken the unusual step of focusing almost all of its resources on enhancing Dark Age of Camelot's RvR system as a free expansion instead of committing most resources to retail expansion development. As part of the foundation of the design of New Frontiers, Mythic invited comments and feedback from the people that know the game best: the players of Dark Age of Camelot themselves. Frequent communication of design philosophy, goals, special features, and a long Open Beta program allowed Mythic to work closely with the community to create New Frontiers.
