DAoC Dev's are looking for a few good testers on the Pendragon server to try out the New User Journey mentioned in the 1.110 patch notes:

Pendragon is looking for devoted testers for the New User Journey introduced with version 1.110. While it is of course tempting to go straight into battle with the resources given, we want players to go start in the tutorial and give us feedback though the different levels and quests.

As a reward we will give away "Pendragon's Ring", a trinket with decent stats and a limited amount of full buff charges identical to those received from a Druid/Cleric/Shaman with a 25% bonus to stat enhancement . Any player who completes at least one hub of the New User Journey (and hopefully provide constructive feedback) will have a good chance to receive one of the rings for a character of their choice on the live servers. If you complete all five parts in one realm, you will have five chances to win one of the rings..

You knew it was coming, and today he is finally here! Hibernia's dragon, Cuuldurach, the Glimmer King is the latest piece of BioMythics Anniversary art to be released:

The third dragon to roam the skies in Dark Age of Camelot is Cuuldurach, the Glimmer King. Of course he is part of the 10th anniversary art of work, too.

We will release more pieces in the days to come. Make sure to keep an eye on the Herald.

At this time we anticipate that Pendragon will be back online no later than 6:00pm EDT (Midnight CEST).

DAoC's DJ Frazier posted a new Developer's Dairy, in it he shared some information on what we might be seeing in way of new armor and ways to obtain it in upcoming patch 1.110:

One of the biggest hurdles for trying to design a New User Journey is the radical power disparity that exists in our game between new users and existing players. Our current players have had the time to put together gear templates that set them head and shoulders above new players, and the gap is prohibitively big in some situations. For a new player who wanders into battlegrounds, especially ones like Thidranki or Molvik, they will often find themselves losing almost every fight they encounter, simply because they are playing against people who have had a chance to outfit themselves out in the best equipment they can find for their level range.
