    I just wanted to say thanks to both the developers, as well as the backers that have the mind to see the "big picture," and to understand that this is a long-term affair we have here.

    The game has gone from an idea, to a pretty darn good experience in just a few years, and with a very small team of people making it happen. The game has a lot of room for improvement, sure. I say, however, that it has continually gone in the right direction. Month after month, year after year, we see large improvements. The potential for this game's greatness is vast.

    I see so many excellent things happening each month. With things like crafting specialization coming very soon, as well as the longer-term features like mounts, ships sailing the seas, and the expansion of the lands into what will eventually become the entirety of New Britannia, I am very excited to see where things go. I'm excited to live in these lands and watch them grow. I will keep on playing, and keep on watching as this turns into one of the best gaming experiences of my life. Slowly, it is happening.

    I wanted to take this opportunity to say to every one that I appreciate the game, the developers who actually create it, and the backers, who are clearly doing an important part in making the game right along with Portalarium.

    Nice work, and keep it up!

    Seriously... the game would not be what it is now unless the developers had the initial vision, and the backers came in to fund it and guide the development team. It has been a huge project, that we have all had at least a small part in creating.

    One point we've reached is that now there are enough well-built scenes that sometimes you just feel like heading to one and slumming around. This is best when they are multi scenes. Right now Blood River Outskirts has 15 people in the instance I'm in, two of whom are Visitor. And it's a big scene, so plenty of room to not feel cramped.

    I agree with the OP and believe this game's potential is not even close to being reached yet.

    When I got my first SOTA game account, I knew this was going to be a long term experience with years of growth and improvements.

    Although this game may not be perfect, the Dev team has proven to us time and time again that they are passionate about bringing us the best experience they possibly can. They do listen to our feedback and consider it greatly when they make decisions to change or improve game features.

    That's about the most I can expect from any game maker and they have delivered on that each and every month since I've joined in... so I'm here for the long haul and can't wait to see where this journey ends up years from now.

    Really appreciate the kind remarks, everyone. I really appreciate the passionate critiques, too. Always learning, always growing, and your feedback helps me grow as a developer (even though I'm older than dirt and have been doing this type of thing almost as long).:D

    I think the same .
    I always come back with a lot of fun on Shroud, I know that the work of the developers will be long and the game is not finalized, but Shroud is a good game, a game where I enjoy myself, I love his story and his universe.
    Thanks to Portalarium Team ( and sorry for my english ! )
