    Hello
    Finally , i installed Shroud of the Avatar... why ? because i saw it is free to play now and i noticed the subterfuge tree.
    I am an old Europa UO players and i play also on "private" servers. I don't need to say i love UO.
    Uo is an example of a perfect game , a shiny rough diamond.
    Can Shroud of the Avatar will reach this perfection ?
    First i have been disappointed by the character creation , i was just able to change my color eyes , my skin and my hair... why i don't know, the other features doesn't work...
    I just read there are no classes , so that could be a good thing ... maybe .
    I loved on uo, use skills people don't use a lot, like begging , i loved treasure hunting and opening chest , stealing rare items from chests and npc, looting corpses, be a pirate, be a survival savage living in the wild without buy anything on vendor, speaking with dead.
    To sum up i loved the possibility to role play and play any kind of character and interact in differents ways with people and npc .
    Hope i could found this lifestyle here

    Remember, lots of stuff is still being fleshed out. The game is not UO, and has it's own character. Steep learning curve the first week to a month. Just remember that there are tons of people ready to give you a hand getting the handle of things. In this very forum you can find a recent post regarding the character creation problems. They will be resolved shortly!

    There may be a new bug in character creation. There appears to be a lag time between when the character creation slider is changed and when the model of the avatar is updated. I am not 100% sure this is new, but i did notice it when creating new characters recently.

    The skill systems work similar to UO, though i would say much of the rest of the game is more modern. The skills in the subterfuge tree tend to compliment other trees, but the experimentation is part of the fun for many, so i will not add any spoilers unless you are looking for them.

    Cheers and welcome!

    I'm 'Sentinel' in game. Feel free to friend me. I play at odd times inconsistently due to work. But when I'm on, I've taken people to the high end ore mines and clear the area out so they can gather. Sometimes I've taken people Mountain Troll hunting. Torc Dawl the Broken is one of my favorites to farm. Good XP too.

    Although not perfect, this is a very deep game with lots to do.

    Welcome!
