 Applications for joining our Knight program or participating on our internal boards are once again open!
Before filling out the application, here are some descriptions of each position:
Knight of the Roundtable
-
Knights are a volunteer position that receives a comped account and involves signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement as they are generally the first to know about upcoming development plans.
-
Primarily, Knights will be expected to lead scheduled in-game events, host Q&As, create written or video guides, stream, and generally interface with the community in a positive, organizer role.
-
Secondarily, Knights are also expected to participate in internal forum discussions, bring game-related issues to developer attention, help test new changes on the Pendragon test-server, and to act in a mature, constructive manner whenever interfacing (within their capacity as a Knight) with each other, development, or the community.
-
Knights are required to be active and interact with the community in and out of DAoC.

Internal Forum members are a volunteers that generally contribute to and provide feedback to the developmental direction of the game.
-
Members are expected to be constructive and interact with each other in a positive manner, even when disagreements occur.
