MJ should never have taken over that role and should have focused on the game.īut it also failed for completely unavoidable reasons. But that didn't last more than three years or so. CSE originally had great communication with the community. I also think not replacing the CM was a mistake. That's where the trust was burnt beyond repair. Anything bigger than 300v300v300 sounds like a completely unfun cluster fuck anyways and older titles like daoc and Warhammer even did okay in that department.ĭiverting time and energy to Ragnarok was also a huge part of it imho. I personally don't know why we needed thousands of people on screen at once. Making their own engine was definitely part of it. I think it's time to accept that this game will never release. Hundreds of games have started development and launched in the time it's taken CS Games to get to this point with CU. There's no Alpha in sight, no estimated release date, no hands-on previews or showcases, and no reason to believe the game isn't still in pre-production. What's your opinion on why Camelot Unchained ultimately failed? Do you think the decision to create an entirely new engine for the game doomed it from the beginning? Do you think the long development cycle is because of CS Games' inability to create a game that can live up to a fraction of their fanbase's expectations?Īlso, what are your thoughts on Final Stand: Ragnarök's sudden announcement and incredible flop?įor those still hoping that Camelot Unchained will release in their lifetime, why? It's been years since we've seen any semblance of gameplay. In my opinion, I think Mark Jacobs reached for the stars, failed to reach half that distance, and has been struggling to keep climbing, despite the years and years that have passed with little progress. I don't think the CS Games planned for things to go this way, but they're clearly to blame for this game's disastrous life. If you dare to explore, know this: even after death, a player's soul can haunt and hunt other adventurers.I think we can all agree that this game is a massive failure that might never see the light of day. It is a truly twisted place, a dark abyss that lives and breathes evil. While dungeon raids are not part of your daily ritual, you can fall deep into The Depths™, a creation from the mind of studio co-founder Mark Jacobs, which draws inspiration from the mythos of H.R. You will see your choices change your fate.Ĭamelot Unchained is not just about the battle between three Realms it is a world filled with rich lore, ancient yet written anew. Everything you need to succeed in Camelot Unchained requires skill and effort, not an open wallet. Camelot Unchained never tries to monetize you, never slows down, and won't be “free-to-play.” We respect your commitment to a subscription-based game in return, you won't see thinly-veiled grabs for more money. Our RvR game puts the power of choice in your hands. Drawing on ancient folklore from Arthur to Yggdrasil, the world is alive with strange creatures and stranger folk to meet but your story rarely includes treasure simply found by the roadside. You must win your Realm's trust, and earn the right to wield a mighty blade by equally mighty deeds. You must consult a master craftsman, who can create items as powerful as the harsh RvR world demands. There are no real-world money shops for your hero to take the easy path. In Camelot Unchained, a player-driven economy of shops and bazaars brings you into the immersive world. You live on, to rebuild and reconquer what remains.

All the world was almost wiped out when the Veilstorms tore across the land, changing and breaking it apart. Your epic story does not require you to raid a dungeon day after day, hoping the right item will drop if you kill enough bosses: your story begins with survival. Fight other players for resources or land, carefully coordinate attacks and sieges with your Realm, and write your tale in letters of fire for the tomes of history. Gain power through using abilities instead of grinding experience points, and become mighty through great skill.

Every adventure becomes a part of the story, raising your Realm's power and influence through combat or crafting.

Whether you choose the noble Arthurians, the mysterious Tuatha Dé Danann, or the fierce Vikings, every battle changes you. This is the story of how you became a legend. This is the story of how you chose one of the three Realms and carved your name in the blood of your enemies.

Camelot unchained.
