Avalon: The Legend Lives Celebrates 26 Years !!

XantheAvalon

Today officially marks the day that Avalon (www.avalon-rpg.com) turns TWENTY SIX years old since its inception in late 1989. This time last year the game had just begun its regrowth and return to intensive development after a quiet period in 2013/14 and we celebrated the 25th anniversary with an Ordination - an Avalon-wide quest in which the victor earns the right to become a God and Elmaethor, god of the stars was ordained from Salvador the Warlock and Prince of Thakria as the mightiest mortal of his time. 

The year that followed has been a rollercoaster ride! Avalon's growth and development has continued non-stop ever since and the additions and evolutions to both the gamesystem and the playerbase (the seeds of a new generation hitting record levels of activity) can be seen every single day in the land. There has never been a better time to join the fray and stamp your mark on a history that began with huge ambitions over a quarter of a century ago. Some of Avalon's features include:

*Over 2000 abilities across 9 class choices each with diverse specialisations and advanced powers; great Sorcerers, altruistic Druids, noble Knights, wicked Thieves, Seers working their palantir and voodoo and fatalist curses and more.

*Unmatched PvP where there are few rules, high stakes and huge consequences and where only skill will bring you to victory - many games boast skill based PvP yet nowhere but Avalon can even the most grizzled of veterans lose a battle to a more talented newbie.

*Fully fleshed out trade, economics and crafting with over sixty unique commodities, all with individual methods of production leading to the merchant-empire-building meta-game of great wealth and riches.

*Legion warfare between ALL factions of the most developed kind of any game - over three dozen specialist military skills including trenches, tunnels, minefields, mortars, arrows, formations, armourforms, rivermastery, oil-cauldrons and barricades in a system rewarding strategic battlefield play where the stakes are the very land itself - nothing is safe from the potential destruction.

* Thousands of quests, experiences, deeds and achievements, some not performed in over a decade.

Avalon's narrative is written solely by its players - all of the wars, treaties, trade agreements, schemes, plots, plans, invasions, conquests and even the eradicationof a major city have been conducted with the mortals at the epicentre and the timeline of Avalon history (www.avalon-rpg.com/history) details some of the remarkable events that have taken place over the last 26 years - and is continually updated. 

The Avalon world is a veritable powder keg of activity and never has there been a better time to join its ranks and - as the longest running online game in history - we don't expect the curtain to fall any time soon...
