Relatively new to DAoC but bought the game before the Gold Edition of the game was released? Then you may want to check out the Camelot Herald game documents section. They have recently added a downloadable a copy of the Beginner's Guide to DAoC that was included in the purchase of the DAoC Gold Edition set. The 8.36MB guide is in a .zip file upon download, but when opened you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download) or something similar to view this .PDF document.
