Shroud of the Avatar - Release 9 Instructions

Portalarium posted instructions on the next Alpha release for Shroud of the Avatar. It seems Release 9 will focus on the games combat system.

Thank you to our loyal backers of Shroud of the Avatar. Release 9 access for all backers at First Responder level and above (as well as winners of the MMORPG.com R9 sweepstakes) begins this Thursday, August 21 at 10:30 AM Central Time. Release 9 access will end on Monday, August 25 at 10:00 AM Central Time. Starting today, you can begin installing and patching (see instructions below), but login will not be enabled until Thursday morning.

Here are links to instructions and known issues. NOTE: Mac and Linux users will have to completely re-install the client for this release. We apologize for that inconvenience.

We are incredibly excited to share this latest release with all of you. We continued to make major progress on combat with huge increases in content (50 skills, combos, reagents, consumables, PVP Team Games, etc.). At the same time we are steadily expanding the world with multiple new maps to explore and new creatures to fight.
