Topic: Shroud of the Avatar (aka Ultima Online 2?)

So anyone playing Shroud of the Avatar? Pretty much Richard Garriott's new MMO that has a very Ultima Online feel to it. If anyone else play maybe we should hook up.

early access no thanks

Yeah I am checking more with people who have already gotten though the kickstarter (Like me) or early access.

While is playable it is a early access game with all what that entitles. I only recommend it for people that like that sort of thing, being a part of the early process.

I've always wanted to play UO except redesigned with more modern sensibilities and conventions. I tried a free shard of UO awhile back and it was a goddamn relic.
I also went out mining so I could practice blacksmithing and got murdered by some robed dickhole on a giant beetle or something.

Yeah you should not have that issue in Shroud of the Avatar. Or later version of Ultima Online for that matter. It is not as hard core in that regard as there are safe non-pvp zones. They have worked on updating it to be more modern. At the same time trying to keep thing that make UO pretty unique. Like you can type to NPCs and they reply. Low level chatbox but still it is a pretty fun way to do it. And do not worry. One can use highlighted words to. At least it gives the game a more exploitative feel to it.
