There is a new Producer's letter from Stuart Zissu posted over on the Camelot Herald. In it he touches on; the new quests recently introduced to the Battlegrounds, new quests in the lands of Atlantis, new realm titles, and even a teaser on the ongoing live event with The Picts. Check it out:

Hey Everyone,

It's Valentine’s Day, arrows fill the air in the current Live Event, and the DAoC team is hard at work bringing love to the game (in the form of updates and bug fixes). Back in October we rolled out some new content for new and returning players. Since then, we have a renewed focus on our veteran players and the continuation of our anniversary celebration. We've got a lot in store for you, so sit back, grab a snack and read on.

One of the things we learned from our New User Journey back a few months back is that players really enjoyed the quest content that we added to the Battlegrounds. Not only did the content bring new people into the Battlegrounds and therefore more action, but it also gave people something to do if no one else was in the area to fight. It's basically a win/win scenario. We took this idea and brought it to the Frontiers. If you are running solo, or if the action in the Frontiers is not to your liking at the moment, you can talk to the Royal Emissaries to pick up these quests. Just be careful, because the Frontiers are dangerous lands and even though you are not out for player blood, they may be out for yours.

Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and with it comes DAoC's lovelorn NPC's in dire need of assistance. From now until February 22nd, you can log in and try your hand at being DAoC's Dr. Love:

While arrows filling the sky is a common occurance on the battlefields in Albion, Hibernia and Midgard, today begins that time of year when not all arrows are enemy fire. There will be some love in the air, mixing in with the well known sounds of clashing armies.

The Valentine's Day event starts today, February 8th and will run until Wednesday, February 22nd.

It brings back these familiar quests to players:
