Shroud of the Avatar has had a pretty bad run of things over the past several years. Despite these hardships, the development team took to the forums to assuage fears that the game will fade away.
A tweet advertising the new Shroud of the Avatar Q&A Livestream and 'Homes for the Holiday' sale went live earlier today. In addition to the many items added to the store, including many holiday themed decorations, a login rewards program rewards complete with a Lord British 2-Handed Axe.
In a tweet by the official Shroud of the Avatar twitter account, a new community Q&A will happen around 4PM CT, on their official twitch channel. Also mentioned, in update #399, Crafting Station Decoration Surfaces!
