Every mechanic is made to feed the beast that is Realm vs. I’ve already said this, but I have to say it again. Camelot Unchained hearkens back to those glorious days when Dark Ages of Camelot was the place to be for brutal PvP. Anyway, Mark Jacobs and City State Entertainment need a cool $2 million to jump start a counter-revolutionary MMO. –Ravious Posted on Author Ravious Categories Dark Age of Camelot 10 Comments on Alas, Camelot Camelot Unchained Kickstarter I’ll be looking forward to their future developments. It’s going to be 2 years until Camelot Unchained is going to make those kinds of waves again, and it might be 4-5 before there is any noticeable ripple effect in the world of MMO development. I am glad that it was a success, but whether it was or not, now it is back to silence. However, it is really hard to back an indulgent cause while not being interested in the luxury product. Camelot Unchained’s kickstart will make it a smidge easier for any MMO developer to get funding. The developers of Storybricks replied that had the right idea (perhaps wrong words?). I tend to agree that the article was filled with too much hyperbole while ignoring plenty of non-AAA MMOs that have thrived (e.g., all of ’s site). One article at had fellow blogger Spinks up in arms. (Okay, so significant effort sometimes has to be put in to understanding a Jarmusch film too, but at least you only lose an hour or two.)

I did keep the fold-out maps/keyboard controls for AC and DAoC.
I don’t even buy physical disks for my games these days.) (There are still game guides for sale in this internet era, my my. My copy of WarCraft III came with guide books, those can go. Planescape Torment, I somehow have still never played that.
I have Bioware’s 2002 Neverwinter Nights, complete in the original box with the 200+ page manual and cloth map. I am still debating some old single player games. I am right now going through old CDs, boxes, and manuals. I keep looking at old things and papers and thinking, “This must have been precious once.” I spent a couple hours digging through an old hard drive for anything worth salvaging. I have been gradually cleaning out my basement, where boxes and files can sit quietly for years.
