April 12, 2001 5:00pm Beta Acceptance Letters to be Emailed in Increments Now that Beta 3 is underway, we are starting to notify those lucky testers who have been accepted into the test. We will be sending these letters out in increments over the next two weeks or so. A message will be posted here when all phase 1 beta 3 acceptance letters have been sent. We will be letting more testers into Beta 3 as test goes on -- probably in a month or so. Stay tuned for details.
And the numbers of testers for Beta 3 will be....Chris Shaw
...5000. Mythic put out a press release today. Here's a clip:
In anticipation to this third stage of Beta testing, over 33,000 Beta applicants applied for 5,000 testing slots within a seven-day period. In addition, Dark Age of Camelot fan sites have been proliferating on the Internet as the player community "discovers" the game.
It also mentions that they are shooting for a Q4 2001 release date.
Seems the XRoads folks have beaten us to the beta. They have some screenshots from the newly added Midgard realm. Here's the snippet:

Dark Age of Camelot is a massively multi-player online role-playing game conceived and developed by Mythic Entertainment. Set in the Kingdom of Albion in the years immediately following the death of King Arthur, players of the game enter a world in chaos, where Arthur’s peace has been shattered and dark forces threaten the Kingdom. Unlike traditional role-playing games in which a player’s greatest challenge is fighting computer-controlled monsters, players in Camelot will come face-to-face with their greatest challenge yet, other players.
