EA Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot has released another of their weekly grab bags. Actually, it's the fifth anniversary edition. As usual, it's too lengthy t print here, but feel free to click on the link below to read it all!

Q: In the last week, I have been getting the 'Choose a Realm' menu when I log in from the server selection menu, even though I already have characters on Hibernia on the server I have logged into. At the same time, some of my 'Quick Entry' logins have stopped working. If I go to the server selection screen and then to the lobby it seems to work ok. Are these things related, and are you in the process of allowing character on all 3 realms on one account?

A: Yes. You're on the Devon cluster. I'm sorry for not posting this sooner; I genuinely didn't know you were getting this cool side effect when Akatsuki joined the family. You see, that's the deal - Akatsuki, being the only server in Japan, did not have any realm limitations. Players there always had access to all three realms, and now, so do players on Devon. You will have to log into your characters to create new Quick Entry logins. It's possible there are some bugs with Quick Entry and names in the clustering. Please appeal if you log into your characters, log out, and still don't see yourself on Quick Entry.

Q: Recently for a change I have started to play on the Gaheris server. It was nice to see how several of the similar items from one realm can be used by another realm. For example, on my Valkyrie I use a slash polearm as a 2-handed sword. Since the release of ToA, we have had various drop weapons with a bonus to all melee types. Due to this, items from one realm can work for another realm. My question is since my Midgard characters can use polearms and Alb 2-handers with no problems, why can they not use the Hibernian Large weapons

A: Some things seem to me similar on the surface, and yet behind the scenes they represent drastically different systems. From the Redheaded Stepchild: "The systems were never meant to be spread across the realms [they were designed for use in one realm], and this was the best we could do to make things match up."
