Where to begin?
Well I guess the beginning is best, so thats where I'll start.
I've been into fantasy and computer role-playing games for a long, long time and RPGs are generally my game of choice on any platform, but I was looking for something with a little more longevity, so I started looking into MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games). The first that sprang to mind was Ultima but I was very disappointed in the visual aspect, so I tried Everquest but couldn't get on with that either. Fortunately my brother-in-law was an avid Ultima Online player and he told me he had signed up to be a beta tester for the European version of DarkAge of Camelot (henceforth referred to as DaoC).
He kept me informed and the more he told me the more I wanted to play, so when it was released in the UK, I bought it immediately ...
Advantages: fantasy, consensual pvp Disadvantages: can get repetetive
DarkAge Of Camelot has been around quite a few years, and spawned a few free, and a few paying expansion packs.
Looked after by Mythic / GOA (depending on if you play on the UK or American servers) it suffers the same lack of support / general CSR presence of just about every MMORPG, but let's just ignore that for now.

Once you are proficient in it's use, you can easily play using only the keyboard - the only time you would ever need to reach for the mouse is to target a specific monster in a large group - other than that, walking, targeting and using your skills can be done purely with the keyboard.

Manufacturer's product description
This expansion, which is based on the theme of subterranean worlds, is a new enrichment for a fantastic world inspired by the Legends of the Round Table, Celtic and Scandinavian mythologies. Catacombs leads the players into the depths of Albion, Midgard and Hibernia to discover long forgotten areas and people threatened by a mysterious evil.As well as 15 new subterranean zones, the Catacombs expansion also brings a remarkable graphical overhaul. The designs of the characters have been completely renewed and players have the possibility to personalise their features in many new ways. Another customised dimension of Catacombs is the appearance of private areas called "Private Adventuring" which allow the players to venture alone or with a group through underground terrain exclusively generated for them each session.Besides all this, 5 new character classes appear and they are already eagerly awaited by players: the Valkyrie, the Bainshee, the Heretic, the Warlock and the Vampiir.Requires the original game, Dark Age of Camelot; the Trials of Atlantis and Shrouded Isles expansion packs; and a subscription. Only playable on-line.
