I'm excited to present something completely new today - a web comic by hushicho of Hushicho Pro Studio (WARNING: Some of the site NSFW). The comic is titled "Wight Castle", and follows the adventures of Hushicho (an Elven Eldritch) and Hawkeye L. Narasumas (a Highlander Paladin) on Gaheris.

Every Friday a new issue will be posted to http://www.classesofcamelot.com/comic/ - the very first issue is up right now.

I've also added a blog-style comment box on the comic page, so please share your thoughts!

For the past couple years, the folks of MMO Portal have released an MMO calendar - each month featuring a different game, with art sent by the developers. DAoC isn't featured on this year's calendar, but Mythic is represented by WAR, and it's now for sale. The price is $12.95 (plus $4 shipping within the U.S.).

Every calendar you purchase will enter you in a drawing to win prizes sent in by the developers of the games featured - you could even win a spot in a beta.

But best of all, as always, all proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

So to get yours, go to mmocalendar.com.

Mark sent me an email letting me know that though Physical Defense was removed from archers, it was still listed as one of their realm abilities here - that's been fixed, and archers are now correctly PD-less. Thanks Mark!

As posted on the Herald, DAoC has just recently had its seventh anniversary. To celebrate, the Royal Accountant in each realm is giving away a special item - a lucky rabbit's foot which summons a white rabbit.



Although you cannot see its teeth in the picture, I think we can assume that they are both sharp and pointy.

The rabbit will be available for only a limited time, so get it now!

In a post on the Herald, Mythic announced that starting today they would be charging sales tax on DAoC subscriptions. (They've since said that it will not happen today.) There's a brief FAQ in the first post, though it doesn't say much - such as who exactly will be taxed, or how much, except that if you don't live in the US or Canada this won't apply to you.

This is not unique to DAoC - some other MMOs, such as WoW and UO, already charge sales tax. (Presumably WAR will have it as well sometime soon.) But it's unfortunate that Mythic is increasing the cost of DAoC for some players, given the state of the game (and for that matter, the world).

My host has informed me that the way the site creates connections to the database is not allowing them to be closed, which is causing the database (and thus the site) to slow down. I've changed the way the connections work, which I hope will fix the problem - but whether it does or not, there's a small chance it will cause weirdness on any of the pages that make a database call (which is, well, all of them).

If you notice anything unusual, particularly MySQL errors of any kind, please let me know ASAP so I can try to fix them.
