Community of the Avatar – Exploring Kas Ruins


Community of the Avatar

Join us this Friday at 4pm CT for another Community of the Avatar livestream!

Esteben “SorcerousSteve” Zaldivar (World Builder/Level Designer on the team) is back to show you Kas Ruins, another scene he’s working on. Kas Ruins started out as a clone of Opalis Ruins, an open PvP scene.

The Kas Ruins are one of the six ruined cities found in Novia that date back to the period in Novian history in which the Obsidian Order rose to power. (As described in the Sword of Midras prequel novel by Tracy Hickman and Richard Garriott). The exact history of some of these cities has been lost to time, but it is rumored that some of them may have been abandoned even before the rise of the Obsidians. Kas is the site of the ruins of an ancient Paladin fort high atop a mountainside. At the foot of the mountain is an abandoned village with a small graveyard. The entire area has become overrun by the undead.

Ask your questions (up to 3 in one post please) in the Comments section below for Esteben! During the livestream, also join us on Discord chat to win prizes and ask any other questions you have.

The fun begins live on Twitch this Friday!

    My Question to Esteben:
    You are designing a PvP zone. I like to use PvP Zones a lot, and the footage that could be seen of Kas looks fantastic. Thanks for that. Will there be an incentive for a player to do PvE inside the PvP Zone? I was using PvP Zones to farm some mobs a few days ago, but did not see any “increase” in loot or experience due to the fact that I higher danger then usual (as players could come and kill me).
    I was thinking about some “Felucca” type incentive to be inside the PvP Zones. Will there be such thing?

    Kind regards,
