DAoC Preview

RPGDot has the latest Dark Age of Camelot preview, based upon impressions of the game’s beta test currently running. Along with the preview, there are also four new screenshots. Here’s a taste:

Another major complaint in MMORPG’s is death penalty. In DaoC, it is dealed with in a new way: The most important fact is that equipment never gets lost – so there’s no more unprotected trips to dangerous places where one died. Until one reaches level five, there is no death penalty, but after that, players lose experience and get a constitution penalty. This can be recovered praying at the character’s grave built at the death place or paying an NPC healer for a restoration service. It is very interesting, that players can be resurrected by clerics without any penalty, making them very valuable.
