Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is an upcoming MMORPG title from Richard Garriott (AKA Lord British), the creator of the critically acclaimed MMO Ultima. Ultima Online captured the hearts of millions and is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMO titles of our time. Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is the spiritual successor that combines the rich story of a single player title with the intense experience provided by the MMORPG.

One of the standout elements of Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is the progressive story that players can experience every step of the way. Unlike today's normal MMO titles Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues will not simply throw dialogue boxes at players. Instead they can expect an enthralling story experience where they'll be challenged with making vital choices that will not only impact their individual story but the world around them and the experience of other players. Another interesting element of the story is that players will not simply follow predefined conversations with NPC's, they will actually have to type in real-time to communicate with characters in the game.

Another amazing element of Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is taken straight from Ultima Online, the ability to own and develop your own plot of land without the traditional limits experienced in today's MMO housing features. Players are able to customize every single element of their house, from the interior decorations to the size of the underground basement. Sell deeds to friends, organize parties and store your newest loot items in one of the greatest housing systems seen online.

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is scheduled to launch towards the end of 2014. Those that purchase support packages and pledged their support to the game during its fundraising efforts have already been given access and will continue to participate in beta testing throughout the year.
