About "Dark Age of Camelot: New Frontiers"
"New Frontiers," the free downloadable Realm vs. Realm (RvR) expansion to "Dark Age of Camelot," restructures the award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game's Realm vs. Realm combat system. Players from the game's three different Realms will vie for supremacy by laying siege to enemy keeps, invading enemy lands, and fighting one another in pitched battles. "New Frontiers" makes it easier to quickly locate battles, adds more strategy and tactics to battles, greater diversity in combat, and integrates more concrete bonuses and abilities as rewards for RvR combat. The design and testing process of "New Frontiers" is open to comment from the "Dark Age of Camelot" community, and the final version will reflect fans' input.

About "Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs"
"Catacombs" is a retail expansion pack for "Dark Age of Camelot" in which players are given the opportunity to explore underground cities - with attached adventuring areas - based on the backstory of one underground player race per Realm. Many of these new adventures will be instanced, giving the player the chance to explore the underground world of "Catacombs" on their own schedule. The expansion features a major art upgrade to player character models that provides more detailed facial features, hairstyles, skin tones as well as enhanced armor and clothing options. The expansion also introduces one new player class per Realm.
About "Imperator"
"Imperator" is an Alternate Earth game, one set in a future world where Ancient Rome never fell. Small changes at crucial moments in Roman history create an entirely new timeline for Earth, leading to a star-spanning Roman Republica and thousands of years of interstellar Pax Romana. The Republic is home to many planets, each containing wildly different flora, fauna, creatures, culture, and climate. As the game begins, new threats to the Republic have sprung up from beyond its borders, making the galaxy more dangerous and the Republic itself less stable - an exhilarating setting for an online gamer. Over the last few decades, many themes of classical Roman history have found their way into modern science fiction and fantasy -- in "Imperator" the architecture, beauty, nobility, and even the savagery of Rome are the heart of the game.
