This review is well made. I'm an active player for many years. There's another launcher other than Steam. The game world is instanced to reduce player population lag. You can select three multiplayer options on how you may encounter other players in combat zones; "Open", "Party", or "Private". The nice thing about Shroud of the Avatar is they do monthly release updates, the game is on release 124 right now. The game world is huge; overland and underground. It takes time to absorb all the content.

This is one of the few MMOs I actually feel like checking out in a long while, just to look around

Thanks for the update /review. I had completely forgotten about this game having owned it it since early access. I will jump in and try it out

I have 3k hours in this game.. Some very good times were had. Lots of things I wish were better, but if you can look past the flaws there's fun to be had.

As soon as you died and turned into a ghost I had flash backs of that happening to me in UO and running around trying to find out how to be resurrected.

That UO sound track, the memories bro. Best MMO ever made.

All the times you said "Hmm that's actually sort of cool" or "Ok so this is interesting" is why quite a few people backed the project, played it for a good while, and probably spent money on it. Unfortunately it was run into the ground, mismanaged, and is currently a sad husk of a good MMO that, while was never going to be "popular", could have been a cool little niche game that had enough players and on-going development to be worthwhile. That didn't happen.

Nice review thank you for taking the time to make it. Loved the updates of your impression of the game as you continued your play. The inventory UI is something that is brought up consistently as an issue, but when taking the time to utilize its extensive features you will find it is very flexible. Tabs for different item types, column sorting, quick filter dropdown, and ultimately a text search if you can't find something the other ways. Is it perfect? Absolutely not but for the hundreds of different types of things you can have in your inventory, I think it would be difficult to come up with an inventory UI to handle it all gracefully and am perfectly happy with what is there. SotA may not have the population of the cool kids, but it does have a great community. We are larger than Steam graphs say, especially since many players don’t use the Steam launcher as it is not a Steam exclusive game. Combine this with the Open/Party/Private instancing system and it segregates players even further, sometimes to a detriment. Keep the universe chat open as there are usually folks always chatting there. It’s a great place to get assistance too especially when you are first starting out. As for a more accurate population count, you can utilize the PvE Leaderboard to get a better indicator. It still is not going to be exact as there are many players that choose to not participate in stats, a certain amount that do not do PvE, and of course folks with multiple accounts/chars. Still, it is the best indicator we have available. No question the dev team is not large, but they are involved and have been releasing updates every month without fail along with a post-release live stream on twitch. I don’t always agree with the dev’s priorities but that doesn’t mean they aren’t working hard and continuing to move things forward. SotA is most certainly not for everyone. It does not hold your hand and is not forgiving. There are many things it could do better but that same thing could be said about an endless amount of games. If players give it a shot and still don't like it, great. It’s free to play and you can move on to another game. It does take time though. A few hours is simply not enough to get a grasp of the depth of this game. For the folks that are not aware, here are just some of the things SotA offers: - Unique combat deck system. Use it like traditional RPGs or take advantage of the dynamic deck system for greater flexibility and power. - Classless character progression. Use any skills from any tree however you see fit. Just like pretty much every RPG out there, you can say there are a few builds that are most popular but it doesn't mean you can't be successful with outside-the-box characters. - Main story quest, side quests, daily quests, buff quests. Players who say there is nothing to do haven’t taken the time to realize just how many quests there are in SotA. - Deep crafting tree. Multi-tiered recipes. Masterworking. Enchanting. Cooking. - Loot system that includes items sold by players to NPC vendors - Mining, woodchopping, foraging, field dressing - Fishing, Trophy Fish, Tank Fish - Agriculture, Trophy Pumpkins, Jack O'Lanterns, Decorative Plants - Artifacts, Artifact Combining, Jem/Jewel artifact power harvesting for use in crafting - Dungeon building with adventure spawns and fishing spots. - Extensive deco system. Construction system. - Player owned towns - Player vendor system and player economy - Taming with 147 different creatures to tame. Pet equipment. - Mounts - Housing, Basements - Seasonal Bosses - Lua for building addons - PvP, controversial on how it is implemented yes but it is there - Extensive music system including composing and group play of music - Book writing Not an all-inclusive list but hopefully gives players an idea of what SotA offers. Again, it’s free to play so there is no loss in seeing what it might offer.

That BDO enhancement fail sound gave me Vietnam-level flashbacks :(

Honestly this game is pretty neat, clearly not super ambitious but seemed like it knew it was going to be for a small player base and tried to make it fun for those specific people, was cool to take a look at !

imagine if this game had even 50-25% the playerbase of other larger mmorpg's , it would be an amazingly vibrant world full of interesting ppl and dynamic interactions ; its truly sad

Looks cool. Imma check it out. I played UO waaaay back in the day.

Nice to see you cover this one. I no longer play, but I have 5K hours in the game. You covered the basics very well but there is much more under the hood. There are player made dungeons. I also enjoy the combat system but I use a dynamic deck. You were using what is called a static or locked deck. Using a dynamic deck allows for some cool customization and that is were theory crafting comes into play. I dropped 500 dollars in the kick starter and played 5000 hours so I got my money's worth. They are providing updates almost every month unfortunately the player base is not there not so much because of the game but more so due to miss management. The best gear is pretty much only craftable. When I say miss management I felt the developers while trying to please everyone constantly changed design on a whim and you can never please everyone and when you try too you please no one.

I don't have the time for a game like this anymore but it actually looks kind of cool in a lot of small ways.

DAMN i dont know this mmo but seeing ur review we can see that it was at some point alive with people building memories and stories !! and now its deserted i felt kinda sadge for no reason but it was a beautiful feeling !

Damn. That Boeing joke by the editor 😂 great comedic timing

This is my home :) @19:57 SotA is great, the only MMO that I am still playing.

This game actually looks cool, going to check it out!

Chills when I hear the music in the intro.
