About Project

What is Dawn of Light?

Founded in March 2003 Dawn of Light (DOL) is the first free open source server emulator for Dark Age of Camelot (DAOC).  Dawn of Light allows the community to create their own servers and custom content. DOL is written in C# using the .NET Framework, and using a MySQL database server on Windows machine.

Mission Statement:

Dawn of Light is an Open Source project devoted to emulating Dark Age of Camelot. In emulating Dark Age of Camelot we pledge to strictly conform to live servers, yet also design the code to allow the community to create custom servers through scripts.

Is Dawn of Light Legal?
