Our main character Todd also known online as GrimmFrost is sitting in front of his computer screen drooling over the new revolutionary virtual reality mmorpg game called Avalon Online . The game features Void Elves , Sprites, fairys, pixies, dragons, flame elementals, Druids, Dryads, Nymphs, Warlocks , wizards , Spell blades, Tempest Spirits and Hell Knights.
The Game's release date had been pushed back 3 times already due to glitches, exploits, bugs, crashes and as such the developers of Avalon Online , Matt Entertainment had finally finished with all the errors and fixes they knew about and worked toward beta testing .
This game was something Matt Entertainment had been working on for the last 15 years and it was going to be revolutionary and was being released in 4 weeks. They were the very first virtual reality game developer that was given permission to use a copy of the military's latest Artificial intelligence software and incorporate Gvidia's latest plethorabyte graphics card technology , which rendered details that were so life like that you just could not believe the video clips of it's ability with your own eyes, cause if you did believe them then the world of Avalon was immensely large, 100 times the size of the earth.The Developers at Matt Entertainment were light-years ahead of anything that was available currently or that would be available in the next 10 to 20 years.
Unfortunately to be able to play the game the way it was intended to be played u needed to purchase a VR headset which cost $1200.00 . Which also came with the game built in or you could get a better playing experience by purchasing what the internet was dubbing the Emperor's Pod. The Emperor's Pod was a capsule big enough for an average sized person to fit comfortably in with a top sliding plexiglass cover. Once a player got inside the pod the player then tapped the virtual enter button and the pod would then log them in and close the top cover, locking the player inside . The pods were self automated in that if a player needed help , the units already had medical moduals installed and medium grade AI 's built in.
The Emperor's Pod was the best choice for the following reasons you got full imersion ,faster connection speed , extremely low lag , downloadable apps to help your character out but, it also cost $10,000. In all honesty Todd thought people would be better off buying a new car instead of wasting 10 grand but he knew that if the box said it was the best that money could buy, then he knew people would pay lots of money for that kind of gaming comfort.
Todd checked his bank account . He had been saving his money for this game for the last 2 years , his bank account flashed on his screen $2200. Enough for the headset and a bit of extra money to be converted to in game currency known a week a go as gold Gryphon coins.
Todd had been scouring the internet for all known promotional codes , so that he would have a slightly easier time in the game. So far he had only came across 2 codes.
One that gave his character a cool set of starting armor and the other was a set of dual daggers.
Todd also kept an eye on Matt Entertainments latest giveaway the grand prize was a fully decked out Emperor's Pod ,12 apps that only came with the collector's version of the game of which only 100 people could get there hands on the collector's version and usually it was only friends or family of Matt entertainment that got them.
So having a chance to be one of the lucky people and get to experience all the extra features it offered would have made his day.
His phone vibrated and slid around on his desk. His best friend Dustin was calling to let him know about some new videos he had seen about Avalon Online .
Dustin laughed at him when he entered the house , still drooling over that Emperor's Pod i see. Todd just smiled . Yeah Ive never won anything in my life. Can you imagine what the game is like using an Emperor's Pod. He had been sending in entry's for there promotion for the past 2 months when he had heard about it. Dustin said to him hey man are you coming with me to reserve the headset tomorrow . Todd's mouth dropped open in a comical O as he slowly turned his gaming chair to look at him. Dustin just shrugged and said he had a connection at Best Buy and that they had already gotten in over 20,000 units . Todd looked at his best friend in shock and said I thought you couldn't pre order or reserve your unit for another 3 weeks . Dustin just laughed and winked at his best friend I have connections so are u gonna go tomorrow or what .Of course I'm going if your driving Todd said.
That being said they bumped fists and Dustin left saying he would be back the next day to pick him up .
