Dead/outdated links - looks bad

Hello again.
Between RL and cleansing my pallette on other games I've been mostly away a few months.
Time to get back to Brit.. uh, Novia..!
I decided to check out the latest release and noticed some issues. I'll actually call them concerning issues especcially to new/returning players.

Startrting out, went to look at the Discord Twitch channel..

In Supported Links
Discord : www.discord.gg/qrRSC2n EXPIRED

Email: support@portalarium.com I thought this had been changed to catnip

Contact Elgarion (Community Manager) on the Forums...

Didn't he leave?I thought Ravalox was our go to guy now..?

and also SotAHelp.org -- Dead link.


So then I hopped to the main site, and then just going to the R115 update from the main website page. (https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=132480)

Also the current "Tweets" off to the side all say nothing to see here.. I assume this is Elon's fault when D*cked with the API...


Anyway, i know the game itself is constantly being worked on and updated but new/returnign players, stuff like this looks bad....

 

Unfortunate, but not unexpected given where SotA is in its life cycle.

 

i don't see a channel called #supported-links. there's a #helpful-links, but the things you're mentioning are not pinned there. please give me more info to track these things down.

 

My bad. it's in the About tab on Twitch, not Discord.

 

The "be a contributor" and "join us" for https://theavatar.express have been correct. Those were my fault.

Thanks

 

Welcome back.

 

Can you post a direct link to that page? I can't even find it.

 

https://www.twitch.tv/shroudoftheavatar/about I believe

 

that would be it!

 

OK Thank you.

In the "SotA Community Resources" The link SotAHelp.org should probably be removed? That site is no longer.

As some additional information, on the Community section on the wiki, I have that all up to date with all of the following updated and still existing websites here: https://sotawiki.net/sota/SotAWiki:Community

And then the "Support Links" definitely needs to be updated.

The rest of the links and info on there seem ok?

 

Maybe .. but I kinda hope this game lasts at least as long as UO. I just wanted to point out some things I noticed that might turn off new or returning players. One thing I've noticed in life, if a thing has people that care about it others will too

 

i THINK i've got the release notes links all cleaned up for 116. i didn't see the link to the dragon hold fishing contest you mentioned.
