[23-09-2005] The Camelot Reporter
A lot of news this week ! We have news about version 1.78, Darkness Rising and about the new survey coming from the US not to mention a background piece announcing a huge event beginning as soon as today…
Coming up : the release of version 1.78
The testing progress has been satisfactory up until this point, so we can consider launching version 1.78 during the first fortnight of October. We will confirm this next week and you will be able to find the release notes for version 1.76, 1.77 and 1.78 the beginning of next week on the "Test Notes" web page.

Until now only available in English, the official Dark Age of Camelot video, directed by Mythic, is now available in all the languages. Discover it in English by downloading it with one of these links.

New stage in the Darkness Rising beta test
The release of Darkness Rising is coming, the testers are now more numerous and new elements are starting to come to light in the game whilst others are unveiled progressively. The graphics of all the mounts and Champion weapons just received their final touch and they now can be disclosed. Next week, we will show you exclusive original pictures. In the meantime, we'll show you a screenshot we took.
Mythic survey for a potential new server type
With the success of the "Classic" servers in the US, Mythic is considering new alternatives for Dark Age of Camelot and this week introduced a new poll to the American players, presenting new server types which could bring many changes to the game. We ask you to answer the same poll so that we can communicate the opinion of the European players to Mythic. This poll will be closed on Monday so answer quickly ! You can choose between five options :
· I do not wish to answer this question
· Homeland Invasion : Standard RvR rules, but you can invade enemy Realm's homelands for total server domination. New character stats track successful raids into the enemy homelands, after one realm is victorious.
· Battleground Server : PvE available only in the Classic lands, and there are no expansion zones. There are no Frontiers. Battlegrounds are accessible from Capital cities with increased RvR XP. Equipment is available for Bounty Point purchase.
· Evolution Server : All old classes removed. Instead, there would be eight redesigned and rebalanced classes per Realm, for a total of 24. This server would also feature a redesigned and rebalanced combat system (including a redesigned style system, slower combat pacing, different crowd control options, and a more forgiving spell/interrupt system), and other RvR tweaks.
· I do not want any new server types.
To access the survey, click on the Surveys button of the Community Website or on this link. And if you haven't done it yet, answer the survey about the European classic servers at the same time.
Roll of Honour inaccessibility
As you may have noticed, due to changes in xml parameters related to the latest patch versions, the Roll of Honour is no longer being updated. Other changes made in subsequent versions will bring us to once again revise all our data. Our current priority is to implement version 1.78, so, we will only update the whole interface after version 1.78 is live.
Activation of several artifacts
If you try to activate several artifacts at the same time, you have to be careful with one little thing if you want to benefit from all possible choices. In fact, you have to give an artifact and then the scrolls required by the Scholar for him to offer you the different possible options for this artifact. Once you have made your choice, you can then give him another artifact with its scrolls. If you ever give several artifacts before giving the scrolls, and if these artifacts exist in several versions, the Scholar might offer you only one choice.
