In said expansion (Shrouded Isles), the Arthurian realm (realms function as alliances do in WoW) got a new class, the necromancer. Many players in DAoC were simply computer gamers who enjoyed new and more powerful classes and items. But there were also a great many roleplayers on the Roleplaying Servers: some of them began to take a roleplayign stand against necromancy. On the server Guinevere, this resulted in a renaissanc eof roleplaying, because a flourishing new guild began with the realization that the horror of necromancy had resulted from the social degeneracy of Albion: In roleplaying terms, society had become so uncouth and blasphemous, that defiling the dead was accepted. Out of character, gamers were able to accept that Lancelot and Guinevere would befirend necromancers, because only mechanics and cool mattered. The Idylls of the King blossomed for a year and inspired much roleplayign and respect and no little controversy through their stance against fellow realm members who used necromancy. (At the same time the guildmaster of the Idylls, a friar named Cosmas, was a famous warrior in the realm war.) Who says there is no roleplaying in MMORPGs?</blockquote>
