DAoC To Ameliorate Level Grind With Giveaways

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a 'State Of The Game' statement for PC MMO Dark Age Of Camelot, courtesy developers Mythic Entertainment, explaining that "We want to go even farther [to accommodate casual MMO gamers] and we will do so over the next few weeks." The "Gift of the Realm" system for the MMO is then explained, in which: "At certain time intervals... players will be able to go to their trainer and receive special rewards for their character. These rewards will include a new experience level as well as gold on a weekly basis. These changes are designed to help the casual as well as the new player succeed more quickly in DAoC." Could this be a solution to help reduce the grind in many MMOs? Update: 07/30 16:05 GMT by S : A commenter points to further details in a follow-up post from Mythic's Matt Firor.

With gold/experience handouts it sounds like....

an MMORPG with a built in welfare/unemployment system. :) Couldn't find work (something to kill) this week, so get a free government (trainer) handout. (And no, this was not meant as Flamebait, just as a joke, although someone will probably moderate it as such.)
