Garriott will be appearing at the Plantronics booth to show off the fantasy MMO on which Plantronics and his studio Portalarium are currently collaborating. Demos will be given with Plantronics headsets, through which attendees will be able to check out the game's crowd-sourced music and sound effects.

“We couldn’t have found a better partner for Shroud of the Avatar than Plantronics,” said Garriott.  “Their long history in audio technology and hardware is unmatched. Their headsets are high quality, reliable and perhaps most importantly provide clarity and excellent sound isolation that lead to the very immersive worlds that we want to create for our players.”

For more information regarding what Shroud of the Avatar will be showing off at E3, visit the game's official website or check out the Q3 update here.

    I'm a backer of the game, and honestly I've been very meh with what I've seen so far. Google some videos of the alpha client and you'll have an idea what I'm talking about. 

    "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
    And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:
    And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
    And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"
    ~Lord George Gordon Byron

    Given that NCSoft forced RG out and then had to pay him handsomely for wrongful termination, I very much doubt he wants to be back in bed with them again as publisher of SotA.

    As for Tabula Rasa, I don't consider that RG's fault as it was clear NCSoft were pressuring the dev team and messed it up in the usual way publishers do. Another reason I doubt RG wants them anywhere near SotA.

    I bought a $15 Plantronics headset once after an expensive Logitech one died and I couldn't afford to replace it. Everyone said my new headset sounded better. That thing still works years later. Go figure. Every time I bought a new $100+ Razer or whatever people said my new mic sounded like shit and I ended up returning it. My $45 Sennheiser set and that $15 Plantronics are the best two headsets I've had, and they're the only two that still work here years later.

    Its just an instance fest, lots of loading screens into walled off boxes. No overland map to explore.

    It's all about selling High priced rare land deeds with  players buying multiple  deeds hoping to make as much profit selling for $$.

    The original kickstarter rewards were for sold on for a year after the campaign ended, so don't risk a $ on backing it.

    Wait for it to finish and play the demo that's about as long as it will hold your interest.
