'Woahh!'
Levi exclaimed in excitement. It had taken hours of IRL time just to get Avalesk's custom VR headset but braving the long queue was quite the experience. Along the way he got to meet people with similar love for vr games, as well as got to see guild advertisements from the current top guilds of Avalesk.
Of course there will be prestigious guilds coming in from other games, but Avalesk: Eternal would for sure have similarities to its base version, creating fair but small advantage for old players who've supported the base game.
Not that it would matter for him. His gameplay was entirely solo and while he would encounter guilds eventually in the game, he's not unfamiliar of challenging top guilds by his own. I'm fact he'd done it far too many times.
...
Unpacking the headset Levi immediately layed down on his bed and logged in to the game.

----------------------------------------
The list went on and on. Levi thought the starting classes were... Basic. Nevertheless he thought that this was a LOT better when compared to having to do freaking class quests right at the start of the game.
Doing fetch quests and all? Nope. Just let player choose a class and have them do what they want. And it wasn't just Levi, throughout the years the survey reflect this as well.
Skimming through classes, Levi eventually picked the one that resonated with him.
----------------------------------------
> [Info] You have chosen Necromancer
----------------------------------------
Having played as a magic swordsman hybrid for four whole game years in Haven, he Wanted to play something a bit different this time.
And while he did research that necromancers were labeled as one of the actual lowest in competitive play during the base game of Avalesk, he that didn't dissuade him from picking the o so popular class since creation.
Yup, definitely going for necro this time.
Levi gulped as his vision faded as he was transported to the game.
