Amazon deal of the week

Best price I have seen on this game.
Gamespot review

This is from the review:
It's safe to say that this impressive online role-playing game marks the dawning of a new era in a gaming genre that has steadily gained prominence since Ultima Online made national headlines in 1997. Developed by the experienced but heretofore little-known Mythic Entertainment, Dark Age of Camelot squarely takes aim at other popular online role-playing games--namely, Sony and Verant's definitive EverQuest, Microsoft and Turbine's Asheron's Call, and Funcom's recent sci-fi-themed Anarchy Online--and, by and large, it blows them away ... Amazon deal of the week

UPDATE: 12/21/01 - THEY RAISED PRICE TO $29.99 - NO LONGER HOT.
I'll try to keep an eye on Amazon "Deal of the Week" for pc games. 19.99 was a great price.

This is a SUPER deal. I've been playing this game way too much.

I'm a Ranger lv15 and Bard Lv11 on the igraine server/hibernia.

Does this game require you to pay like 10 bucks a month like EQ and UO?

Thanks

 

[systemjockey]

yes Pinkpig, it is. It's about 12 dollars a month. I'm PISSED!!!! I just paid 39.99 for this game! That's 2 months worth of time. And yes, it is a really well developed and thought out game. I would say that this deal is smokin'

 

[sekser]

One month subscriptions, $12.95 per month.
Three month subscriptions, $11.95 ($35.85 total, charged in advance)
Six month subscriptions, $10.95 per month ($65.70 total, charged in advance)

and the first month is free when you install and setup your account.

i'm tempted.. its worth a buy just to try it out for a month. (sure gonna miss my eq though)

 

[cmsanto]

*bump*

Is this game pretty much the same as Everquest? I loved EQ, but after a while, there were too many players. Now, if I were to go back, it would be even harder to get back into the swing of things. Anyone else provide some info here? Thanks

Gamespy gave it RPG game of the year-

PC RPG Game of the Year: Dark Age of Camelot

Looks like this one is going to be fun ....

Does this not work under Windows 2000 or XP? I'm interested but Amazon's blurb only mentions 95/98/ME.

 

[sekser]

works fine for me.. running win 2000 pro sp2

10 bucks/month! That's steep. If I add all my "entertainment" costs for 2001, I'll start thinking of doing something better with my life, like getting a job or somethin'

That is steep. The first month is free however. I'll try it for a couple of months, the first free and then pay for another month or two if I still like it. Paying only twenty dollars for the basic game will not make me feel as if I'm loosing my shirt.

I go through pc games fairly quickly, only games that last are the on line shooters but even then I usually get bored with them after 2 to 3 months. Half-Life's Counterstrike mod lasted a good six-nine months, then the constant cheaters turned me off from the game.
Currently playing RTCW, the mulitplayer is fun, haven't really played the single player game yet.

I've never played EverCrack so this will be a new experience for me.

This game is an EQ killer for most people. Once this got installed, EQ came off my PC so fast.... And still going strong. Really a lot of fun.

Deal now WARM!

They raised the price to $29.99 which is still $10 off retail. But most B&M are 29.99 when on sale.

Still says deal of the week.

Maybe it was a pricing error?
