    Springtime is here again, and with the warmth and renewed bloom of the landscape an ancient menace returns!

    The deceptively cuddly Harbinger of Spring has found its way onto Ellan Vannin. The Kings of the Realms have placed a bounty on this beast for any who wish to drive the menace out of their lands and to collect the coveted Gem of the Harbinger!

    The Rites of Spring event will continue through Monday, April 4th.
     
    Visit the following to receive the Rites of Spring quest:

    Sir Yvain in Castle Sauvage or in the Frontiers
    Sinfjotli Sigmundarson in Svasud Faste or in the Frontiers
    Fionn mac Cumhaill in Druim LIgen or in the Frontiers

    Remember, the quest is battlegroup credit and also automatically given upon defeating the Harbinger of Spring so don’t worry if you forgot to grab it!

    Note: All characters will be able to obtain the Gem of the Harbinger and Bracelet of Springtime Folly, even if they got one last year! 

    Battleground players, don’t forget to speak with Lady Mirabelle in Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, or Druim Ligen in order to obtain the Egg Hunt quests!

    Additionally, this year marks the return of the Spring Egg Trophy quest. Simply complete any of the Egg Hunt battleground quests or the Rites of Spring quest to be eligible for and offered it.

    The Garden Nest and Flower Box trophies will spruce up any home’s garden!

    St. Patrick’s Day Event

    Are you feeling lucky?

    In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and running from now until Monday, March 21st, a brand new random-object-generated (ROG) reward awaits those that can complete the first annual ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ quest. One quest completion per character! 

    To get the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a consoling visit:

    Edmund in Cotswold’s tavern
    Bjorne in Mularn’s beer hall
    Silvadren in Mag Mell’s pub


     
    • As part of the quest, players will be shapeshifted into a realm-specific “leprechaun” but have ALL of their stats debuffed by 75%.
    • But fear not, leprechauns may be weak but they are also nigh impossible to catch: shapeshifted players will also have an unbreakable CC-immunity and speed buff for the duration of the shapeshift.  
    • Oh, and we hear the real leprechauns love hiding their treasure on the new RvR zone of Ellan Vannin. Enjoy some zany RvR through the weekend!
    • The ROG reward is a choice between a ring or a bracer similar to the Valentine’s Day event with some slight differences. These ROGs will only allow up to 5 slots for stats but will also have 1 of 6 possible /uses.

          
     

    For players of all level ranges, there are three pesky little tricksters who are hoping you’re not too lucky! A ‘charming’ reward will be bestowed upon those who have the cunning to out-wit:

    Killaghe in Albion
    Daighu in Midgard
    Iollarme in Hibernia

    The “Luck of a Leprechaun” quest can be obtained from the following:

    Sir Prescott in Cotswold
    Hrolf in Mularn
    Epona in Mag Mell

    Once again, the event will run until Monday, March 21st.

    A happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day to one and all, and we’ll see you in the Frontiers!

    Client Hot Fix

    A very quick Hot Fix note based on player feedback:

    • Spell effect icons now start blinking with 10 remaining seconds (as they did prior to 1.120) but will continue to display their duration on their tooltips down to 3 seconds at which point the duration text will change to “fading.”

    If already logged in, players will need to log out and run the patcher in order to see this change.

    Update 4:15 PM EST: The Pendragon server is back online! 

    The Pendragon test server will be coming down tomorrow, Tuesday March 8th, at 2PM EST / 7PM GMT for patch 1.120!

    Check out the patch notes below!

    Important Note:

    • We highly suggest separating out your normal game directory from your Pendragon game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.

      • ​If you do not do this, you may experience issues when patching back to live.

        • To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game’s directory and run the patcher again.

     
    For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!

    Origin Fraud Protection

    Created by

    |

    The Electronics Arts Origin store has made the following change to in order to better prevent fraud: it can now take up to 72 hours to receive a code from Origin on some purchases.

    This timeframe is dependant on the number of codes purchased at once as well as other variables. Most players should still receive their codes within 24 hours, however, it would be a good idea to order any new game time codes 72 hours prior to your account subscription ending if you wish to guarantee no subscription downtime.

    If, for some reason, a purchased code is not sent within 72 hours, please contact Origin’s support directly. 

    When contacting Origin, please only state the following: “I did not receive my code after making a purchase on the Origin store. My order# is #####.” Mentioning Dark Age of Camelot can sometimes result in being directed back to our support team, who unfortunately cannot assist with this issue, so be sure to only mention the above quote.

    We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work with Origin to streamline this process.
