A hot fix for Dark Age of Camelot

When it comes to MMORPGs, one of the facts of life is that everything in the virtual world is dynamic. We’re not only talking about “dynamic” in the sense of gameplay and player-to-game-engine interaction. We’re also talking about how the system itself changes time and time again (which is crucial in today’s development standards). Continuous updates are what makes a game survive and makes sure that the gamers are kept hooked on their “world”.

Missy Hatch has just released a changelog of some new changes that they’ve rolled out for Dark Age of Camelot. Thanks to all of the events that they’ve hosted recently and which you guys participated in, Mythic Entertainment was able to test some of the bugs and features so that they could tweak the system a bit.

It’s not a patch, mind you. There’s no need to download anything. They’ve upgraded their system with some minor but useful and effective fixes. Here’s the full update:

• All newly created Minotaurs should now properly start in the appropriate starter guild.
• The Labyrinth no longer provides a double bonus to Realm Points.
• The Realm guards stationed at the Labyrinth entrances should now attack Necromancer pets.
• The monsters in the entrance tunnels in the Labyrinth now con as neutral. The undead fallen adventurer monsters are now tied to the corresponding Realm entrance tunnels. Example: A Midgard undead monster in the Midgard tunnels will now show as friendly to Midgard characters and as aggressive to Albion and Hibernia.
• Emissary: Proof of Strength – Players on the Hibernian version of this quest will now be properly rewarded for completing it via the PvE method on servers other than Gaheris.
• The sell back value for the following items has been corrected: Sigil Enchanted Mail Hauberk, Sigil Ensorcelled Mail Hauberk, Rune Bound Starkakedja Hauberk, Rune Scribed Starkakedja Hauberk, Decorated Osnadurtha Hauberk, Spell Marked Osnadurtha Hauberk. Newly created items will sell back for the appropriate value. This update is not retro-active; items that are currently unable to be sold can be given to the Armorsmith Master in the Capital City for a refund.
• The sell back value for newly created Benthic Mauler Staves has been corrected. Items with the old sellback value can be given to the Fletchers Master in the Capital Cities for a refund.
• The Benthic Mauler Shod Staff will now correctly proc a cold debuff.
• Increased the aggro range of the Elite Guardians on Agramon Island.
