If you've been wanting to check out the latest updates to Shroud of the Avatar, today is your chance. Portalarium is running a free trial event from May 10-31 that does contain a number of restrictions, though "you can still explore hundreds of scenes, talk with thousands of players, adventure through the opening quests, and gain experience". All progress will be saved for those who choose to back the game.
You can check out all of the details by visiting the Shroud of Avatar site.
