If you weren’t already aware, Richard Garriott and the United States of America have the same birthday, July 4th. And to celebrate, Portalarium have put Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues on sale for a mere $19 USD:

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues is a multiplayer fantasy Role Playing Game calling upon you to return as a fabled Avatar and quest to fulfill the paths of Truth, Love or Courage across a deep single player story. Embark on new adventures in the world of New Britannia and enjoy multiple MMO benefits by playing alongside your friends and becoming a permanent resident in a persistent shared universe.

With this purchase, you get:

• Full Game Access of Episode 1
• 30 Bank Slots to store your gear*
• 1 Gold Crown
• Pick 1 Obsidian Potion

*If you have already played the Free Trial version of the game, you have received the 30 bank slots listed here.

NOTE: If you already have game access and would like gift game access to another person, please click the “Send this as a Gift!” button below. Portalarium cannot transfer game access to another account once rewards have been claimed on that account.
