Inside the Grab Bag's Studio

Posted by Community | 2014 May 16 17:23 -0400 GMT

My noble friends and realm mates:

Sir Grabford Bagsworth here with a special treat for you! This week’s Grab Bag will be an interview with a most popular, sophisticated, and impressive gentleman.  ME!  I’ve locked myself in a tower, the table is set, I look dashing, the wine is flowing, and I will be conversing with a mirror.

I had best begin – Carol is attempting to siege down the door and yelling something about me being "intoxicated" and "crazy".

‘Sorry Carol, maybe if you spent less time stalking players and more time leveling Bruiser you wouldn’t have had your Grab Bag stolen!’

Ahem. Pardon the interruption. Click the ‘More’ link to read my interview!

Hotfixes!

Posted by Community | 2014 May 06 19:28 -0400 GMT

The following changes have been hotfixed on live servers (click the ‘More’ link for full notes!):

Porting Changes

  • The Portal Ceremony on the PvE side of Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, and Druim Ligen has been removed.
  • The Portal Ceremony in the Frontiers will now teleport players to their Realm’s Portal Keep every 10 seconds.
  • The Portal Ceremony timer is now increased by 60s for every keep lost by the home realm. This means if a home realm loses the center keep and both coastal keeps, the ceremony will be 3:10 minutes.
  • A Realm must own their center island keep (Caer Boldiam, Glenlock Faste, and Dun nGed) in order to port to any captured keeps in enemy Realms.

Welcome to the New - New Frontiers!!

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the next step in the evolutions of Dark Age of Camelot's Frontiers!

As you make your way onto the server and into the various areas in the game that have undergone recent changes, please remember a few important things:

  • The Portal Ceremony is now active on the PvE side of the Primary Borderkeeps (Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, and Druim Ligen). Standing on the Portal Pad will get you teleported to your Realm's Portal Keep - so if you do not intend to teleport, please be mindful of where you stand!
