There's a crafter-only class because there won't be any loot drops from monsters or NPCs, nor will there be tokens dropped or accrued with which you can buy equipment. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. There will be tanks, there will be healers, there will be DPS and there will be a hybrid. This is a rock, paper, scissors approach. Jacobs is pursuing a "new vision" that he said is "very different".Įach realm will have its own unique set of five classes at launch. The races available in each won't be stereotypes with pointy ears or relentlessly chivalrous knights. Like DAOC, Camelot Unchained has three warring factions: Arthurians (England), Vikings (Scandinavians) and the Tuatha Dé Danann (Ireland). Mark Jacobs isn't interested in mass appeal - he wants experienced MMO players and RPG players. There's no filler, no boxes that needed to be ticked to appease a publisher pumping millions upon millions of dollars into the game. It's that RVR core that Camelot Unchained is built upon. DAOC: fighters of Albion (Arthurian England) wait to be ported to the contested area of Midgard (Viking land).
In other words, RVR meant massive, organised PVP with keeps and forts and siege weaponry. Stealing those relics was the aim of the game. They lived in separate lands, spoke in separate languages and owned powerful magical relics that were housed in guarded keeps in their own contested areas. Players belonged to one of three realms/factions that were at war. He's also separately raised another $1 million for the game.Ĭamelot Unchained is the purist successor to Dark Age of Camelot, an MMO that coined the term RVR - realm versus realm - combat. If it succeeds, Mark Jacobs, the boss of Camelot Unchained developer City State Entertainment - and the man who led development of Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer Online - will donate $2 million of his own money. It's got one of the loftiest goals I've seen - $2 million - and it looks like it's on course for success. Can MMOs?Ĭamelot Unchained is off to a bright start, having raised ~$585,000 since it launched at 5pm (UK) yesterday. Nostalgic single-player games with modest budgets have prospered on Kickstarter.
