Avalon: The Legend Lives

November 1989 (35 years ago)

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.
