KickStarter Shroud of the Avatar - Lord British's Not-Ultima Online 2

[Jaesun]

Hey if we can talk about MMOs here, why not JRPGs too?

But this is a DEEP Story based Game. Not an MMO. Do you knot trust Lord British?

DEATH TO LORD BRITISH BY GIANT PENIS!!!

 

[winterraptor]

Broseph, you are a fucking genius! Look at that masterpiece!

I only wish I made it. It was some guy in the Torment thread.

Every new update comes with new LARPing options and MMO stuff, but nothing for the "U4-7 style" game this is modeled after. Fucking emotes for reward tiers which you can teach to other players? What is this shit? Shroud of the Romper Room?

RICHARD GARRIOTT WAKE UP

The real Richard Garriott left long ago. Now he's just a LARP obsessed penis worshiping shell of a man.

He's selling exclusive e-peen enhancers for MMORPG players: Limited persistent housing, special titles, teachable emotes, vanity items, and so on. If you've not played MMORPGs, you might not realize how much perceived value such "virtual property" can hold. As an experienced former muhmorpuhgerer, I can assure you that it's quite a lot indeed.

It's the world's most blatant cash grab and grandfathering of well-off player years before the fact. I want no part of it, even if SotA actually turns out to be good from a gameplay/community standpoint, though that's very much in doubt.

Lord Yiddish indeed.

I've been watching too much Star Trek lately to not think about alien possession of some kind. God only knows what he did to piss them off when he was up there.

Sourcing art from backers now....How is this still living...I don't even.

Welp Brian Fargo is doing it too so

 

[Gurkog]

LB became irrelevant 20 years ago and should have remained in obscurity. This will only end up with nostalgia geeks feeling violated and ashamed.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Jesus. I looked in on Shroud of the Avatar since I was already on Kickstarter and giving money to Larian for Divinity, and what the shit is this? INTERACTIVE MUSIC INSTRUMENTS IS A STRETCH GOAL? Absolutely shameful.

There are only two days left to support the Kickstarter for Richard Garriott’s newest project, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues! If the fundraiser reaches $1.5M, I get to personally interview and do a full, official flaming of Lord British himself! That’s right! I’ll roast Lord British harder than Rainz!

Lord British capitalizing on the hate of himself. Brilliant.

Here is a new tier option suggestion :

For 500000$ you will be able to fight Lord British until he's down to 10 HP because fuck you you can't kill me i'll be very pissed, curl up in a corner, and cry.

Did you see one of the new retarded rewards then? He even feels the need to say how fucking awesome he is, that he can't be killed by a sword that can kill anyone..

$60 Tier (FOUNDER)- Founder level now contains:

• NEW: Kill almost any enemy you encounter with a single blow using your Crystal Sword! The Crystal Sword, uniquely identifiable as a Founder's sword, shatters after a single use. (Let it be known that Lord British is impervious to the Crystal Sword)

 

[Jaesun]

Nothing now surprises me on this kickstarte any more. Nothing.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Pledged $350, 'cuz to heck with it, I wanna see Spoony roast Garriot. Especially after seeing them use Ultima IX in this video.

I don't like this, but here's $350. Some people just have money to throw away.

 

[J_C]

Oh gawd, how is it possible that this KS gets funded, but other, more worthy ones do not.

And meanwhile I had to pull my pledge on Torment, because I'm all out of money (literally). Fuck those rich brats.

 

[taxalot]

The Hilarious thing is this is going to be a great game.

 

[Maelflux]

Haha, and Portalarium pledged to Torment. In actually it just seemed like a publicity stunt there, as they made several people pledge to Sota that had not already, when they saw his cock-pointing fingers there.

 

[Jaesun]

You have successful removed taxalot from your BROlist.

 

[J_C]

Well, we are in a win-win scenario. It if sucks, we will laugh at Garriot and his shitty game. If not, we will have a great Ultima game.

Don't worry, bro. If you kept that 1 dollar you said you did you'll probably have access to the backer store and you'll be able to upgrade back.
