    Logout and login with the other accounts credentials.

    Link one to a Steam account and you can play both simultaneously on the same PC.

    You can do that without linking with Steam just bypass the launcher and run Shroud of the Avatar.exe

    I linked one to the one I could not access, but it still went to the first account, when I logout do I do it on the website? Otherwise it gives me no option to give my username and password.

    IF you start the game with steam click 'use sota credentials' and then enter account + password for the account you want to play then

    Ok, so running .exe still takes me to the wrong account, and I can't find the SotA credentials, where would that be?

    Alright! That works! I am logging into online now, and just a last thing, the credentials will transfer to offline too right? I want to play offline and online.

    I've not played offline but it seems it's independent of login credentials as everything is stored locally so anyone with access to the computer can use it.

    I assume you are using Windows...
    Start the launcher as you normally would.
    After you are logged on and in game, look on the taskbar at the botton of your monitor.
    (you may have to use ALT+TAB to see it)
    RIGHT CLICK on the Launcher Icon. These options will appear:

    Left click on the "Shroud of the Avatar" item.
    A new logon screen will appear log in with your second account information.

    You need to have a PC that is powerful enough to run two instances at the same time but this works.

    I just accidentally hit the offline button in the new release and was prompted for login credentials so I guess you can now have independent offline modes.
