Did Tertius act the buffoon upon failing to record his access information for further use?

    Greetings beloved SotA community and staff!

    I apologize in advance if it is uncouth of me to post such an inquiry in this thread, for I know not where else to pose it!

    I just opened this account, and am interested in getting straight into the full game, but before buying the full version, I must confess! I was a backer for the kickstarter years ago (FOUNDER level, I believe) and thoroughly lost my account information, including email access. After a year total, I have failed to access either, so I am hoping if there was a way I could present evidence to prove that I am telling the truth of my old account.

    Just today, after searching my old hard drive, I have actually located the chat logs as well as in-game footage from the Pre-Alpha (featuring Lord British himself!) that I recorded back in 2015 (the year I had to stop playing), and I do at least have the name of the email address that was used for the account. I am about to drag a gaggle of my friends into ShroudoftheAvatar kicking and screaming, and it would please me greatly to have my old stuff back, as well as my guild! (It was delightfully lonely being the only member)

    Any and all help or advice is appreciated! If it is of no use, I understand, and will have to consider handing over the cost of the full game again as my companions mock me for my lapse in memory.

    Many thanks and happy questing,
    The adventurer currently-known-as Tertius

    Greetings @Tertius, When you pledged back then you must have done it thru Kickstarter. Do you still have access to your Kickstarter account? Or at least know the email address you used? If you unlock your Kichstarter account it has all the info of your pledge.

    whatever info you do manage to dredge up, account-related support requests have to go through email, not the forums. send it off to support@portalarium.com

    You need to find out what your old info is. Since accounts need a unique e-mail address, if your current forum account has the same e-mail address, you may need to link your KS account. If they've been sending you weekly e-mails, that is the e-mail address that you need to be using for your forum account. Definitely this is a question for support@portalarium.com

    After you get your original account linked/restored/whatever, check your account info from the upper right of a non-forum page to ensure that your stuff is linked properly. If your e-mail address is the same, go ahead and try it now.

    Once you get logged in under your old account, you still have to go to a bank in-game and click on the "Claim Rewards" button to get whatever pledge stuff you have.

    That sounds like a good thing.

    If you are the original owner, and it was simply lost access to your account, I would think support could help you.
    Its not that hard to verify yourself as a hardworking, honest individual if you have all the right paperwork (which you should).

    Good Luck! Contact Support and Welcome Back to SOTA!

    Welcome back @Tertius ! What they said - Support is the way to go. Be aware that they recently moved office, and had an internet outage last weekend. Not only did the livestream fail to happen, but lots of emails got backed up. They are back on air, and wading through the pile as fast as they can. A little patience may be necessary, but they will definitely help you.

    Greetings all. As I mentioned above, for all of us early backers that can still access our kickstarter accounts, log in and go to the Shroud of the Avatar pledge and you can get proof of your pledge.

    If you know the email address, which you should given that you would have received the monthly newsletters, you could try the Forgot user name or password link on the game’s login page. There it looks like you can type in the email address. Not sure what info you would get back. Hopefully the username and then the new password. If that doesn’t work, support would be your next option.
