The game was developed by Mythic Entertainment and released on October 10, 2001.

DAoC offers two styles of gaming for players: Player vs Environment (PvE) and Player vs Player (PvP)—in the case of DAoC PvP is often referred to as Realm vs Realm (RvR) as the majority of player on player combat focuses on groups of players from the same realm (Albion, Midgard, Hibernia) combating players from the other two.

PvE usually appeals to those players who enjoy a slower and more immersive playing session. It is also the only way to obtain new equipment without buying it or crafting it. PvE can occur in any "zone" (playable region) in the DAoC virtual world as there are roaming beasts scattered everywhere; on land, in water and in dungeons.

PvP is usually restricted to PvP areas or zones; battlegrounds, New Frontiers and some dungeons. PvP will offer some money, but not as much as PvE and will not offer any items. However, you do receive Realm Points (RPs) for killing other players. Earn enough RPs and you will earn a new Realm Rank (RR) which will offer new skills to the player.

Essentially, a player creates a character and battles, or "hunts" computer controlled animals, monsters and non-player characters (NPCs), completes quests and tasks and battles other players to earn experience and money. Gain enough experience and the character will gain a new "level" offering new skills and abilities, and in some cases, access to new areas of the game. Currently, the maximum level attainable is level 50. However, later expansions to the game offer additional "parallel" levels that when completed, will make available unique skills and abilities. Such as "Master Levels" from the Trials of Atlantis (ToA) expansion, or "Champion levels" from the Darkness Rising (DR) expansion.

Realms

Dark Age of Camelot offers players a choice of three realms to choose from, based on specific tidbits of folklore, fact, and legend.

Albion is based on old Arthurian legend, with such notable real-world places as Hadrians Wall, and many places based on real English locations (much like Stonehenge). The races are mostly human and have origins in and around old Britain. Hibernia is based on Irish folklore and legend. The races include fairy-types, with lurikeen, sylvans, and elves, and classes that are more nature-based. Midgard is based on Norse legend, with races such as dwarves and trolls, and classes based on worshippers of the old Norse gods of Odin, Thor, Loki, and the like.

Classes

The classes in the game are:

Albion: Armsman, Cabalist, Cleric, Friar, Heretic (Catacombs), Infiltrator, Mauler (Labyrinth of the Minotaur), Mercenary, Minstrel, Necromancer (Shrouded Isles), Paladin, Reaver (Shrouded Isles), Scout, Sorcerer, Theurgist, Wizard.
