Sanya Thomas Interview

Voodoo Extreme was able to ask several questions of Sanya Thomas, Mythic Entertainment's public relations person for the upcoming Dark Age of Camelot. Here's one of 'em:

    VooDoo Extreme -- What makes DAOC better / different than other mmorpg's?

    There's a level of customization here that I haven't seen before. You choose your stats, your height, your face, your hair color. You can dye your armor to suit your own tastes (it's not a trade skill, you buy dye and drop it on the item you want to color). If you'd rather not level and fight, you can sit in your town and do tradeskills all day. Fighters who regularly defend the borders and invade other realms gather "realm points." Once you've accumulated enough of these, you are eligible for such rewards as titles, special communication channels to facilitate large battles, player housing, battle flags, and for guilds, special insignia to display on your cloaks or shields. Our battle skills (magic and weaponry) are based on skill trees, not repetition, so every character can be just a little different.
