Avalon Role Playing Gamer Review |
Avalon is totally original in its conception and creation and has spawned many imitators, none of which have come close to matching its depth of features or evocative descriptions. It''s a beautifully written world of enormous depth and complexity, yet with comprehensive help and guidance for the absolute novice.
Avalon provides an expansive web site for additional help plus detailed history of the land. There is also an advanced Java client for immediate play.From the first moment you enter Avalon, you embark upon a journey into the imagination.
Avalon is an online multiplayer role playing game, a mythological environment, similar to that of AD&D, in which you can develop your own character and interact with other real-life and imaginary beings. This is a continent of legends and detailed histories, both past and in the making. Step into this world and you may become an integral part, a major character in an unfolding tale, a great figure in the next noteworthy event in Avalon''s illustrious history.
Avalon is a real-time role playing game. This means that as you are thinking and acting, events will continue to progress around your character. Avalon is also a multiplayer RPG world, which means there are many other real-life players who you will meet during your time within the land.
Avalon is an ever evolving role playing game and you will play a part in the history of that world. Build your reputation and role to become a respected or feared member of society, actions taken by you can alter the world for good or evil as you help to shape history on your journey of enlightenment and the ultimate quest for ordination and immortality.
These introductory pages are not intended as a full introduction to Avalon, only experiencing the land for yourself can fully prepare you for what is in store. Instead, it is hoped they will help those new to the land by supplementing the on-line HELP that is constantly available and by providing a glimpse of the role playing possibilities open to all players.
My score: 8.9
