Camelot Unchained just won the most prestigious of all Massively OP's end-of-the-year awards - the one for "Longest MMO Newsletter"!

Other games will have to comfort themselves trying to win in some minor categories, such as "GotY" or "Most Anticipated".

I am looking forward to this game as an old DAOC-junkie. I love the classes and how they have different classes for the different realms.

I am worried though that the game won´t be fun in the long run since it is PVP only. In DAOC all I did was PVPing in a gank group when I hit max level. When that got too tedious I start working on an alt. But in Warhammer I noticed that I needed my PVE-fix as well. Especially when one realm was too dominant as it was on our server. The enemy had three times our numbers and I know sneaking off to PVE when that is happening is not the way to solve the problem but I found that more fun to do than to lose and lose and lose.

In this game I am afraid that the losing realm or realms will just log off and perhaps not come back. Or re-roll on the winning side. Too early to say of course but that is my worries.

I know we have three realms and that the two losing might help each other out. Not sure about that though. We'll see I guess.

@lindhsky I'm much more of a Warhammer junkie, but I agree (unlike, I'd say, great majority here) that PvE is important in the long run. On the other hand, it's not like we won't have any.

For what it's worth - The Depths (aka Darkness Falls on steroids), PvE, Realm Balance, Realm Pride.

Oh good news! Didn't know that. I know crafters and people that hated PVP that wanted to make a raid in the frontier because they wanted DF. So that is indeed good news.

@lindhsky Maybe I should, just in case, give you TL:DR of that PvE article: NO quests, NO leveling by endlessly killing mobs, NO PvE endgame raids - and besides that, pretty much everything else PvEwise.

Now, since majority of folks considers PvE grind & quests & endgame PvE dungeons to be the very definition of PvE, it's common here to say, shortly, that CU "will not have PvE". If you are interested in details, you can check that link upthere.

Afternoon Update – Friday, January 22nd, 2016 – The Snowniño cometh!

New CU site seems to be up at ...

Edit: This was misinformation from CU reddit, the new website is actually still work in progress (and should be revealed quite soon).

karnivor · January 2016

male valkyries? wow what a joke. Im officially off the bandwagon.

@karnivor I'd also like to see more class and gender locks - thou throwing rotten tomatoes at "locked" stuff seems to be trendy on the interwebz!?

For anyone that have just a tiny little bit of knowledge about Norse mythology and Valkyries this is beyond stupid to have a male Valkyrie.

That's like the equivalent of a male saying he's a lesbian. It's just not correct in any way possible.

Unfortunately things like this bother me too much. That's a shame as I was looking forward to this game.

JamesGoblin · January 2016

@karnivor There is a number of things I dislike about CU, but I wouldn't let something like that distract me from playing. Say, I was annoyed by Gnome Warriors in WoW - still I enjoyed it for years, no matter the little abominations.

PS Newsletter 18 is out!

I'm not off the bandwagon, but to be honest I thought the same thing when I saw the male valks. I know there is this thing among Western gamers about having no gender locks, but male Valkyries? Its like saying a cat is a dog or something, very weird.

Btw, those shots of CUBE look great, is it hard to work with like Landmark, or is it similar to minecraft in its ease of use?

JamesGoblin · January 2016

@YashaX I haven't played Landmark to judge how close it is, but it is certainly more complex than Minecraft, while having similarities.

JamesGoblin · February 2016

Another important update, the unboxing of mysterious present:

...and finally, it is...Cait Sith !?!?

Shadanwolf · February 2016

It would be nice if we could sign up for and receive newsletters on our email box.

JamesGoblin · February 2016

Preparing for Beta!? Here's the text of that vine: "Improved light in Camelot Unchained [2/6]. L=new/R=old. Buildings user-made in game by Necromaniak."

Axxar · February 2016

I don't agree with male Valkyries, for obvious reasons, but that does not invalidate the rest of the game.

Evening Update – Friday, February 26th, 2016 (pre-beta crunch, announcing some streams + usual stuff)

Franciscourant · February 2016

Ohh I was about to miss that one, thanks for posting this info.

Salemov · February 2016

@JamesGoblin thanks for the constant update

JamesGoblin · February 2016

You are welcome folks! While I'm here, this is some recent early destruction footage (don't worry, the animations and textures are far from final - including falling rubble to be added etc.):

JamesGoblin · March 2016

New stretch goal is unlocked (the one that is yet to be announced thou O.o )

Also, here's couple new pics - CU on Instagram

JamesGoblin · March 2016

Both Newsletter 19 and new Afternoon Update are out: new stretch goal, state of the game & progress to Beta and usual stuff.

meddyck · March 2016

The world in CU is not supposed to literally be our world back during the dark ages like was the case in DAOC. A race like Valkyrie is not literally the Valkyries from Norse mythology but is instead the memory of tales of Valkyries combined with Veil magic to transform people into a new race. It therefore is not a huge violation of lore for there to be male Valkyries, male Bean Sidhes, etc.

There used to be a place on the official CU site to sign up to receive the newsletter by email, but I don't see an obvious link for that on the new version of the site that launched a few weeks ago. I will mention that on the official forums.
