The Roundtable Road Trip kicks off January 22nd at the Web2Zone internet gaming center in New York City.
"The 'Dark Age of Camelot' Roundtable Road Trip is our way of bringing regular fan gatherings closer to players, thereby making it easier for them to attend," said Eugene Evans, vice president of Marketing and Business Development of Mythic Entertainment. "We will continue to hold two larger events each year with two days of activities but these smaller events will allow us to reach even more members of the 'Dark Age of Camelot' community, including those that can't travel, for the chance to meet other players and members of our development staff."
The events will take place at internet gaming centers and entertainment locations. Each event will include an evening of activities including the chance to win prizes from the Roundtable Roundtrip sponsors NVIDIA and Prima games.
