On the 27th April a new feature allowing characters to be moved to new accounts within Dark Age of Camelot will be made available. More details can be found in the press release below:

Press Release:

FAIRFAX, VA – April 22, 2004 – Mythic Entertainment announced today that their flagship massively multiplayer game “Dark Age of Camelot” will be offering a new service to their subscribers beginning on April 27th. Known to players as “account splitting,” it allows players to transfer one or more characters from an existing account to a new account. Because separate characters on one account cannot be played simultaneously, households that share accounts often want to move a character to a new account so the two characters can adventure together.

“Roommates, spouses, and friends often bring new players to the game by temporarily sharing accounts,” said Matt Firor, Vice President of Development and Executive Producer at Mythic Entertainment. “Up until now, these new players had no way to move their characters from their friend’s account to a new account of their own. They were forced to create a new character from scratch once they got their own account. Now, with our new splitting feature, Camelot fans can move their characters to a new account and keep playing the same character.”

For a one-time fee of $40 per account split, customers will be allowed to move up to four characters from an established account to a brand new account, as long as the characters remain on the same server. Standard subscription fees for the old and new accounts will still apply.

Interesting new approach to increase subscription levels again, but then it is a business they're running after all :)

Worth bearing in mind that this is Mythic's US based offering and might not be rolled out via GOA in Europe, although I would imagine that they will follow suit at some point.

traders will be happy to be able to trade chars, and not have to give up their passwds anymore. less hacked accounts, bumps up price a bit though.
