Avalon: The Legend Lives 1989
- Role-playing (RPG), Historical
Avalon is the longest running online roleplaying game in the world at 25 years (a world record). It is from Avalon that numerous contemporary genre-defining features such as cooldowns, player run organisations such as guilds, and the foundation of skill-driven player vs player combat originate. An online text-based RPG ahead of its time ever since it began in 1989 as the first multiplayer roleplaying game online. Avalon is a fair meritocracy. You may quicken your pace but you cannot achieve excellence without deserving it and excellence in any area takes time.
