Shadowbane Beta and Yet More Delays
Wolfpack and UbiSoft finally announced the start of the Shadowbane closed beta on the 17th. They also had a big preview of SB in Austin about a week prior to that. Both good signs, but unfortunately Vosx also went on record saying that SB won't be released until after TC hits #1 in realm points. At least I think he said that. I could barely understand him because my leprechaun has been blabbering all day about the government spies in the apartment across the hall. News of the latest condition for SB launch sent many TC members into an unbridled rage, resulting in over 100k rp's yesterday. Now, TC is firmly in the #2 spot for both Hibbies and the server overall, but I'm sure once with hit #1, Wolfpack will come up with another excuse. Whatever happens with SB, I've been asked to pass on an a message to TC. He says . . . "kill, kill, kill".
A Little Payoff for all the Level'n
Last night, Arkon became the first TC member to hit 50th level, with Bizanich and Vires not far behind. Great job guys! pl me, k? In addition, The Cabal has crept up to 3rd amongst Hibernian guilds for realm points, 5th on the MLF server overall. If you glance at our last news post, you can see that's quite a leap in a short time. The majority of RvR battles take place right around the Albion Milegate in Emain Macha. I'm usually stealthed in odd places, but I managed to take some screenshots showing the masses of troops that clash out there in the frontier. For those still in the level struggle to get to 40th and up, hang in there, imo its worth it. After having a few long nights consisting of constant adrenalized, bloody warfare, I'm finding it hard to get back to level'n again. I just need to be sniped by red and orange archers a few more times...
Climbin' the Charts
It seems our guild has shown its usual sense of holiday cheer. Our brothers and sisters have killed enough of the enemy over this past holiday week to pull us up to 6th place on the Hibernia side of things, and 16th on the MLF server overall. The reality is that only a handful of TC members are even making all those realms points. The bulk of our troops are still working their way up to the 40's. Scary.
Links to Dark Age of Camelot Information
I've added some links to the left menu that contain very useful information about Camelot. Banshee has created two Camelot Item Databases, one for weapons and one for armor. They still need some of work, but currently list most of the world's magic items. Many Cabal members are now into their high 30's and low 40's, and we've been able to finally mix it up with the enemy out in the frontiers. This release is into its 3rd month, and still has its imbalances, but few players have been disappointed by the PvP aspect of DAOC.
The Cabal Formed on Morgan Le Fay
Obsinius could only stare in sad embarassment as members of The Cabal displayed their joy in our newly founded Camelot guild . . . by dancing poorly. As of this past Saturday, TC went ahead and officially formed a guild on the DAOC server, Morgan Le Fay. After experiencing this release for its first couple of months, and evaluating whether or not they have an enjoyable PvP system, we've decide to make it our home. Members of TC will be leveling as fast as possible so that we can join in the frontier wars with our friendly Hibernian guilds, Fight With Honor and House of Sagacious. If you check the HoS webpage, you can catch a nice glimpse of the fun involved with beseiging and conquering enemy keeps.
We openly invite our old friends from UO:LS, UO:SP and Everquest to join us on MLF. Camelot is a MMORPG that makes it much easier for low levels players to be powerlevel'd up by their friends then EQ did, and with no corpse recovery, no item/gold looting and no experience loss on PvP death, it is much more accomodating for continual PvP warfare. The taking and defending of territory also gives some measure of victory to battles beyond the "haha, I killed you f3wl" limitation of previous MMORPGs. Check our members page to see who is playing on MLF, and if you're interested in starting up with us there, drop a message to Katrinaa, Obsinius or myself. Some of our Nameless Clan friends are already building up with us on MLF, and we're gathering new faces along the way. It's been a fun time for TC in Camelot.
How Many Corpses Can Fit in One Screenshot?
That's what Anduan and the TC players on MLF are trying to figure out. All reports out of Hibernia indicate that DAOC is going to be alot funner than EQ both in the PVE & PvP aspects. Anduan and Vires have a bet to see who can pack the most kills into a 1024x728 pixel area. If Vires wins, Anduan has to say "Shadowbane is better" while standing in front of Punisher. If Anduan wins, Vires has to actually grow an inch. Short people, hmph.
Morgan La Fey Server, Hibernia Realm
That's where the majority of TC players are as part of the House of Sagacious guild, allied with the FWH guild, Fight With Honor. Anduan has the ability to add you to the guild there, so don't message the HoS folks and say "I'm Anduan's buddy, add me", cause they won't. Just message Anduan and he can do it from anywhere. Some TC are experimenting with the other realms on different servers (I'm one of them), but mainly its MLF.
