Developers Focused on Player Created Quests

Richard Garriott and the Portalarium team have revealed the first information about the player generated content in Shroud of the Avatar. Garriott writes that Release 19 will include writeable books and notes and chest permissions that will allow players write their own quests and provide their own rewards to the players completing them. 

Our goal is to allow players to craft deeper quests directly into the game world itself, to be able to leave clues in the world 24/7, and to have treasure (and ultimately protection of those treasures) that do not demand 24/7 live players to be ever present.

In addition to the above, this week's newsletter details the following among other things:

• Zombies have been added to the game;
• The first screenshots of the Solace Forest have been released;
• Time lapse video of New Britannia's celestial bodies;
