[Column] Shroud of the Avatar: Shroud's Release 14 Walkabout

SBFord · February 2015

Wednesday night I went on a walkabout of New Britannia with Richard Garriott and Starr Long from the Portalarium team. During that time Richard and Starr showed off what was new in update 14; crafting recipes to include enchanting, a contested point, and two new areas. We also learned what Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Morrison have in common and what the SotA community had to do with that.

A trilogy?! Sweet. Not going to say the first was the best written book ever, but this is an MMO book, not high literature. It serves it's purpose well.

When this was on kickstarter i thought who on earth will ever support this? but then i saw a small video where you could see the snowy mountains in the background. that picture is for me like how a rpg world should look like. since then i am interested. graphics look bad, combat looks bad, but theres something about this game that inspires my imagination. i must admit thats probably the hardest thing to achieve for a game, so im waiting interested. it looks like its shaping up nicely, too. (does anyone knows which video im talking about? was here on mmorpg.com. mountains were to the right of the avatar).

This is the first rpg in a very very long time that I have been super excited about because it has classic values at its core with a focus on community and being a part of the world not just a spectator. It still needs a lot of work in the areas mentioned above but this is only pre-alpha so there is plenty time to get it ship shape.
