The Shrouded Isles crush the competition
Mythic Entertainment has announced that Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles, its first expansion pack to the fastest growing online game of all time, was the top-selling online game for December 2002 and the 15th top selling PC game, according to NPD Techworld. Since its release in early December 2002, the game has sold over 111,000 copies, easily beating Electronic Arts' The Sims Online in the race for dominance of online gaming.
Shrouded Isles extends the story and enhances the action of Dark Age of Camelot with new character classes, new races, and three new continents, displayed in an all- new graphics engine, with the ultimate in visual effects. The expansion also features a revamped user-interface, and an all-new ambient music system that randomly constructs musical expressions based on the player’s location and time of day. Other graphical improvements in Shrouded Isles include almost one hundred new monster models and almost 400 hundred new weapon, armor, and shield graphics - but the additions in this expansion are more than skin deep. Shrouded Isles has many new quests, thousands of new monster encounters, and an innovative artificial intelligence system enabling monsters to behave and attack in deadly new ways.
