Launched in late 2001, ''Dark Age of Camelot'' is a long-running [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] from Mythic Entertainment.
The game presents three realms: Albion, a typical [[The Dung Ages]] representation of medieval England which is heavily steeped in Arthurian myth; Midgard, a frosty, fjord-y representation of Norse mythology populated by Vikings and trolls; and Hibernia, built on Irish folklore and legend.
The three realms war in [[Player Versus Player]] frontier areas, while each realm's home territory is dedicated to Player Versus Environment play.
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: This trope tends to get invoked when one realm's keeps and towers are taken away by the enemy realms. Reclaiming them largely depends on the morale of the realm's population, and losing all of them can be detrimental to many players' willingness to go out there. Since this is a three-way war, whose keeps are taken changes repeatedly.
* [[Cast
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Particularly from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opl77bP7vbY&feature=related one player] (video NSFW) who felt he was [[Memetic Mutation|wrongly deprived of his Cloudsong]].
* [[Critical Encumbrance Failure]]: Subverted slightly. As you get closer to your encumbrance capacity, you begin to move slower. Once you go past it however, you're unable to move until you lighten your load a little.
Line 24:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "YOU STOLE MY FUCKING CLOUDSONG!"
* [[Mithril]]
* [[Obvious Beta]]: The Hibernia realm was notoriously unfinished at the time of the game's release. Some of the dungeons weren't even open, most notably the Coruscating Mines. It took about a year and a half before all of the dungeons were opened and populated.
* [[Player Versus Player]]: Called Realm vs Realm in the context of DAoC, but very much the opposite of [[Player Versus Environment]].
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The Trials of Atlantis expansion introduced master levels that had a host of repercussions in the [[PvP]] side of things, some of which are so despised that there are "Classic"-flavoured servers.
** Many players consider this the point when the game began its decline.
* [[Zerg Rush]]: The classic Albion attack, although the other two realms use this tactic regularly as well.
