Catacombs is the third commercial expansion pack to Dark Age of Camelot (after Shrouded Isles and Trials of Atlantis). The expansion adds a totally new, vast and diverse underground world to the game, in order to put a little more weight on dungeon adventures. There is a new entry point to these 15 catacomb regions in the capital city of each of the three realms. The catacombs themselves are the same for every realm, although they are handled separately so there is no RvR combat. Other features include the biggest graphics engine update in the history of the game, allowing for more customized characters and faces, "Private Adventuring" which adds instanced dungeons for letting individuals and groups adventure in their own private catacombs, as well as 5 new character classes: the Heretic for Albion, the Vampiir and Bainshee for Hibernia, and finally the Warloks and Valkyries for Midgard.

Trials of Atlantis is the second expansion pack to the Online Roleplaying Game "Dark Age of Camelot" by Mythic Entertainment. The main addition consists of a new area for players to explore and battle monsters in, the lands of the lost civilization of Atlantis. It includes the large underwater world of Oceanus, the Egyptian-flavoured and hot desert of Stigya, the even hotter and hellish Volcanus with lots of lava, and the flying islands of Aerus. But the civilization of Atlantis has long been wiped from the planet, and now archaeologists are searching the ruins. The inhabitants of Atlantis have, however, created some sort of obstacle course, which stood the test of time. The players are now able to take these "Trials of Atlantis", journeying the lost lands and battling terrifying creatures, to find out about the true magic and power of Atlantis. The new area is targeted at high-level characters, considering that a character has to be at least Level 40 to begin with the first trial. Further, the lands of Atlantis are accessible from every realm, but every realm has its "own" Atlantis, so there are no Player vs. Player fights. The Addon also contains one new race for each of the three realms (The half-ogres for Albion, the Shars for Hibernia and the Frostalfs for Midgard) and an even more improved graphics engine, mainly giving players better textures and new water effects.

As of January 2024, NCSoft has not moved to have servers based on this source code shut down.
