Shroud of the Avatar - Basics/Introduction (re-upload, fixed, and higher quality)

The first time I tried to upload this I didn't realize the capture device split the files up so they would fit on a FAT32 system, so the ending of this video was lost among the dozens of test run captures before it. This upload contains the full session, and since I was going to have to wait for it to upload again, I chose to do it at 720p so that in-game text would be more readable.

So, sorry for the mix-up, here's a better, working version.

Also, some more background information - This game is Shroud of the Avatar, it's available on PC/Mac/Linux. It's a pay once, play forever style MMO. There is a single player, offline option for game play, but what I'm doing in the video is the full online version with a trial account. There are some limitations of the trial account, which are listed on the trial signup page here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=85197

After reviewing the video, I noticed it's not spelled out very clearly in the video: low-level players do not lose pooled xp upon death and they do not lose any skill points from their leveled up skills. High-level players can lose skill points if they run out of pooled xp and they die. After dying for the first time during a 24-hour period, dying again has smaller and smaller xp penalties. Also, once you are dead, you need to find an ankh (funny cross looking thing) to resurrect, like what I did in the video. You may not have noticed it, but the ankhs show up on the compass as points of interest, so you can always find one.

Also, regarding player owned towns: They are purchased with real money, but players can live in any of the towns without having to spend any real money. Deeds can be purchased with in game gold. This is a lengthier subject, so maybe I'll cover this if I do another video.

Thanks for watching!
