Good news for the Dark Age of Camelot fans: Mythic has decided to offer the fourth and fifth expansions for the game, Darkness Rising and Labyrinth of the Minotaur free of charge. Additionally, those who didn’t play Dark Age of Camelot yet can download a 14 day free trial from the official website. So it’s happy Friday today, huh?

“The Dark Age of Camelot community has thrived for nearly a decade and the game has helped transform the MMO landscape with the introduction of groundbreaking Realm vs. Realm gameplay,” said Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer of Mythic Entertainment. “We could not be more excited to offer all this entertainment to all current players and to those interested in returning to the game, as well as to those looking to experience the game for the first time.”

Those who are already having a subscription will receive the two DaoC expansions for free as an automatic update. In addition, seasoned veterans of Dark Age of Camelot can now return to Midgard, Hibernia and Albion and play free for a limited time. The Come Back To Camelot campaign allows former players with closed accounts for 90 days or more receive 10 days of game-time free when they update and reactivate their account. Now that’s what I call good measures for tough times! So just head on to the game’s official website and give it a try, at least while it’s free!
