  • Summary: In Darkness Rising, an evil uprising threatens the land and the mightiest heroes in the Realms are called into service. For the first time in Dark Age of Camelot, players will be able to earn the right to be called a Champion of the Realm. Players become Champions by exploring new zones and revisiting altered lands while investigating the mysterious uprising to discover its sinister underpinnings. By performing this service for their Realm, players achieve new levels of advancement and gain the ability to wield class-specific Champion Weapons. Darkness Rising also introduces majestic player-controlled horses and other more fantastic steeds which can be ridden into conflict in the war between the Realms. [Mythic Entertainment] Expand

  1. Darkness Rising brings a lot of new features to a great MMORPG.
  2. It's not quite a massive revival of the game and won't topple World of Warcraft from its impervious throne, but it does add a lot more content to a game bursting at the seams with things to do.
  3. The genius here is how well the expansion integrates with the regular game. [Jan 2005, p.85]

    Crummy distribution. As usual Mythic did everything wrong again! Should have had a retail expansion for those who dont want to spend 5 days d/l'ing. Expand
