It must work, otherwise they wouldn't have an update 14 day trial to
Catacombs option surely? That would be very silly of Mythic indeed
when their whole motivation is to get folks into Catacombs through the
14 day trial as quickly and easily as possible.

I'm guessing so, yes.

Aye. Boxed versions of MMORPGs will soon be history anyway I think.

Err, I told....Nah I won't say it.

You are welcome. One thing you will find in DAoC is the community is
generally mature and friendly. More so by far than most games. This is
one reason folks keep playing DAoC, especially adults. The jackasses
don't get far in this game and soon learn to modify their attitude or
else quit. In four years of playing DAoC I think I have put about
maybe four or five people on my ignore list and that just cannot be
said for most other MMORPGs I have played, apart from Eve Online which
also has a very mature community.
And one last thing. Welcome to Dark Age of Camelot!
BB.
