Just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Mike T. From Ontario, Canada I will be purchasing this game tomorrow with the intent to help improve. I have been a GM for several different company's (MAYN Games) (Big Viking Games) and I am willing to do what I can here. Hope to meet you all in game soon, and get the word spread. Also feel free to contact me at anytime for computer technical support as I can help Via a messaging program etc. See you soon.
Welcome wickedme45 to the community! Here you are already offering to help people! I've you been a GM of UO guilds in the past, do you plan to try and create a new SotA guild, or are you looking to join one? I have a guild list here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/updated-guild-list.7254/ If you have questions about the game, I maintain a FAQ here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/unofficial-faq.9626/ You mentioned that you plan on buying the game tomorrow. There are two options currently. You can buy the game directly through this website. Portalarium receives more money because Steam isn't taking a cut. You can get a client that doesn't use Steam and the Steam client and play either way you want if you buy the game through this site. You can also list someone as a referrer if you use this site. The referrer gets a bonus and you get a special emote. However, Steam does have the game on sale 15% off so you'd save a few bucks if you go that route. But you can't list someone as a referrer and Portalarium gets less money since Steam takes a 30% cut.
