Shroud of the Avatar

While I’m writing this blog I figured I’d give a heads up to Shroud of the Avatar. A computer game (hopefully) coming out in late 2014. Created by Richard Garriott and his team at Portalarium. Check it out!

The team ran a successful kickstarter campaign and continue to allow new subscribers to join on their website.

It combines rich story, like those of the single player Ultimas, with deep and varied multiplayer experiences, like Ultima Online.”
