QUALITY OF LIFE: Astaa: Some sort of currency that you can use to buy items, once you have encounter credit. Could even boil it down to BPs, so you can earn them via PVP or PVE, depending on what you want. Cosmetic reskinning, either using BPs …

I have to say that I do not know, or are prepared to guess, but I do hope it will be the announcement of a new a Dark Age of Camelot server that will attract my interest. The announcement regarding the server rulesest (or tweaks to certain rulesets)…

Now there are 4 theories presented in this post: 1. That Broadsword have researched the possibility and not found it economically viable. 2. That Broadsword have not researched the possibility to any large extent but deemed such an endeavor …

@Shoke if you read what LordGriffon included in the costs you will see that the annual salary for 10 GMs was included, so the need for free workforce is not needed. I just asked Broadsword if they indeed are prohibited to recruit volunteer GMs as wa…
