Preview of DAoC

GameSpot, the site with more full-featured previews than any other on the web (game previews that is…), switched it on again today for a nice beefy 2 pager soaked in screenshot goodness of the MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. It mostly covers the recently opened Midgard Realm and the 3rd phase of the beta where they implemented an iteration of their PvP gameplay. Have a look at this effortless eloquence:

Now that Dark Age of Camelot has entered its third phase of beta testing, the developers have already implemented measures to help encourage players to explore new areas, instead of “camping”–that is, staying in one place, fighting a set of monsters, and then waiting for them to respawn. In addition, the current build of the game features new monster artificial intelligence that generally makes fighting them much more challenging and interesting than simply drawing a single one out, fighting it, and moving on to the next one.
