Pendragon Maintenance - 10/06

Pendragon server will be down for maintenance Thursday afternoon for brief maintenance:

We will be bringing the Pendragon Test Server offline for maintenance on Thursday, 10/06, at 1:30pm EDT (19:30 CEST). During this maintenance we will be implementing several bug fixes for issues discovered in version 1.110. At this time we anticipate that Pendragon will be back online no later than 6:00pm EDT (Midnight CEST).

Thank you for your support.

Dev Diary: 'Virtue & Tradition' by Talal Saad

Developer Talal Saad shared his memories of past DAoC adventrues and hinted at new ones to come in the latest entry to the Dev Diaries:

Passing through the Borderkeeps of Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste or Druim Ligen, I pause to remember the humble beginnings of our adventures in these lands. We conjure memories of slaying the menacing Skeletons wandering the fields around Prydwen Keep. We recall contending with Njessi, who patrols the waters near Gna Faste and we remember fondly the scores of Water Beetles we slew upon the shores of Lough Derg. Life in the realms has certainly changed since these, our first adventures. Together we have explored new lands, discovered strange and wonderful races and mastered powerful new professions.

Test Your Connectivity to Pendragon

BioMythic made some tweeks to their networking code for the Pendragon server and is looking for feedback on how those changes have impacted your connection to the server:

During the development of Camelot version 1.110, we have made changes to our networking code to lessen server lag. We’re interested in the effect these changes may have on connectivity, especially for players with high-latency client connections. If you have a high-latency connection (e.g. satellite, connect from a very remote location, etc.) please connect to our test server Pendragon and let us know if you notice any significant differences in connectivity as compared to playing on Live.

Thank you for your support.

Anniversary Art Work

Another installment in the 10th Anniversary Art has been released!

Joining the battle for Hibernia on the 10th anniversary work of art are a Celt Blademaster and a Firbolg Druid. Those of you trying to fit the different pieces together should now be able to place this one and the last one in the bigger picture. But why isn't the Druid healing?

Blademaster & Druid

We will release two more pieces before the anniversary on October 10th. Make sure to keep an eye on the Herald.
