Just for the sake of clarity...

Avalon has been running since November 1989 with entirely unbroken continuity including its persona file, locations, inventory, data, skills etc in every single way. This differs from Gemstone which on February 1 1990 launched Gemstone III and required all existing characters to restart from scratch. This may be a small distinction but it's an important one since no-one who created a Gemstone I character in 1988 could still log into the game and find that character in tact. Compare this to Avalon whose first mortal Zaphod (Created November 1989) can and still does log in even today, almost 26 years later.

I'd also mention that while the Gemstone series has been running since 1989, the games have been rebranded, refurbished and given different names (I II III IV) which if anything are remakes / sequels than direct continuous worlds. Such that even Gemstone's Wiki marks their continuity as having begun in February 1990.

you're my favorite, thank you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
