SHROUD OF THE AVATAR PULLS 2 MILL - 04/07/13 11:59 PM
KGB AND SHROUD OF THE AVATAR
KGB started back in 1997 in UO, and many of old time vets are really excited.

They make a respectable kickstarter showing with 2 million dollars.
All I can say is that we are going to have folks interested here.
Take the time to read up and speak to some of our most committed folks. Owain, Romeo, and Heidi, are some examples.

In a game that supports the Virtues, I don't want to see PvP just for the sake of PvP. I fought in the PK/Anti-PK Wars for 5 years on UO:Siege Perilous, and in Shroud of the Avatar, I want to fight PKs and defend the Virtues as well. Tell me that you and Tracy Hickman (head story developer) are going to incorporate PvP into the story line, and that you intend PvP to be a distinct struggle of Good vs. Evil.
Lord British answered this question at length, explaining that this was EXACTLY the kind of emergent game play he wants to see in SotA. This is something that cannot be scripted, only encouraged. He will allow players to be evil, if that is their wish, and where there is evil, there are Heroes.
I have generated a lot of interest in the SotA community for the KGB, not only among former allies, but among former enemies as well. A lot of the Single Player Ultima folks have no idea what this is about, but all the old school UO players are starting to get charged up.
