How to Guide the Emulator in Dark Age of Camelot

The massive, multiplayer online role playing game, "Dark Age of Camelot," allows players to fight in the war for the fallen kingdom of Camelot. To play the game, players can either log onto a dedicated DAoC server, or host a game on their own server by using a server emulator. An emulator provides the network communication players need to connect to the DAoC servers, while giving them the ability to create their own rules and game quests. Players who want to control their own server emulator need to download and install an patch from the DAoC community website.

Instructions

- 1
  Log onto the website, dolserver.net. DAoC has authorized the community website Dawn of Light to create downloadable patch programs that allow users to emulate DAoC servers. Dawn of Light is the only website that features emulator software approved for DAoC use.
- 2
  Download the software necessary to run your own server from dolserver.net. Download the DOL Server Autobuild, DOL Server Package, Data Base Only, Packet Logger, DOL Loader and MPK Viewer programs from the website. You will need all six programs to properly emulate a DAoC server.
- 3
  Install the dolserver.net programs onto your hard drive. Install the programs on the same drive that contains your copy of DAoC. Restart your DAoC game after you have loaded the programs onto your computer and signed into your account.
- 4
  Begin forming a party at the main server screen of the DAoC game menu. You will now have the option of hosting a game on your server instead of using one of the dedicated DAoC servers. Invite your friends to play on your server, and adjust the game rules to any setting you prefer.
