    Hello, my name is Sharok and I just fell through a portal on my computer into this world. I am both intrigued and worried that once I fully give myself to this world, I won't want to return to my own reality. I have fought bandits, skeletons and wolves in my brief travels through a scarcely populated area, with no true interaction with others I have seen wandering through the wilderness. I do hope to find others who are sociable in time. Please say hello to me if you see me in any towns I find, as I am craving interaction with other people living in this world.

    Welcome @Sharok to Sota. Please friend Majoria. There is no reason for you to not have lots of player interaction. Whisper anytime with questions or to say hello. :)

    Welcome to our world, @Sharok .

    Feel free to add me to your friends list and ask if you have questions. If you're interested in some RP interactions (your introduction surely sounds like it), be sure to send me a whisper!

    Have fun in New Britannia.

    Wow, such a warm welcome from fellow travelers. I do feel at home, though I'm having issues rejoining New Brittainia. If someone with the mundane skill of technical can whisper me, I will explain further

    Hi Sharok! Welcome aboard! If you want some interaction, catch some events. Virtue Oasis is hosting a PvP tournament in the next hour, which you could watch, you don't have to fight. Friend Jade to teleport there.

    If you see smoke coming from a Player Owned Town, there are players inside. If you're near Resolute, come into the Factorium if you see smoke, we're probably hanging around trying to keep up with all the stuff we have to do!

    I turned off my firewall and my Anti Virus and it has improved, but I still get intermittent crashes where the screen just locks up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Can someone help this player please? @Berek @DarkStarr. He has reinstalled the game and updated drivers, and so much more. This is his second time to try to play this game. Please could you advise?

    Welcome to our land. Sorry you are having problems.

    At first glance there does not seem to be an actual video card in this system so unlikely that it meets the minimum system requirements unfortunately.

    Just a shot in the dark but maybe this will work.
    When I use my Surface Pro 4 I must choose a much lower resolution since the video card sux.

    Try this:
    Under VIDEO choose this:
    Quality Level : FASTEST
    Resolution: lowest you can stand. (i.e. 1024 X 768 etc)
    DO NOT Check the box that says FULL SCREEN.
    When it starts the window will probably be tiny but you can maximize it and it is playable at that level.
    All of this reduces the stress on the PC and may allow you to play it until you can upgrade the PC.

    FWIW

    p.s. my main pc (Alienware and other fast gaming pcs) work great at much higher settings

    Minimum:

    • OS: Windows 7 64 bit or newer
    • Processor: Quad Core 2.4 GHz or faster
