This week I continued my interview series on the development of Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues by Portalarium. Joining me this month were both the founder of Portalarium Richard “Lord British” Garriott and Executive Producer “Dark” Starr Long. We spent a little over an hour running around New Britannia Tuesday night showing off a number of interesting player and developer created features.

Well I am looking forward to this game. Merely because it seems to have some interesting systems and even though I am not a RPG fan, I love my MMO's and would like to see how they intend to incorporate both with the single player and MMO sides of the game.
I haven't put any money into this game, or any other for that matter, merely because I've become jaded of the industry like many. Being one of the old school players, I find it very hard to find games that have systems that I'm interested in (primarily good immersion, mandatory grouping and holy trinity) although some of the systems that are being implemented here seem interesting. Not to mention, most devs these days hype certain systems and features during development and then switch them by release to something not that appealing in my eyes, most of the time.
Haven't kept up with development much but I enjoy reading every article on the game, here @ MMORPG.com. Wish the team great success and I plan to keep watching, especially now that it is on Steam, which I am typically on at all times.
"We can continue to see progress being made in SotA each time we check in. I was able to play with a standard hotbar instead of the deck system this time and it made a huge difference in how much I enjoyed combat."
What's this?! Please expound. The deck system is the only reason I had regrets for backing. Are they switching their stance?? I really lost interest and quit tracking the game due to the deck system, please tell more of what's going on with the combat system. Thanks!
They've provided the option to play with a fully locked hotbar, like any other MMO. In fact, that is now the default play style, and you have to intentionally switch to the random deck system. It was their way of easing players into the new system if they wanted to.
