1. We have a dedicated Player Test Environment on our QA server available for player use. This server will be kept open with periodic database resets, when we will copy the database from the live server. The server database will be updated at least twice a month during a scheduled maintenance window.

    Though players are welcome to use the QA server to experiment or test anything they wish, we will post patch notes and testing directives in this area. Players testing new content, features and systems will greatly help in reducing post release bugs and making the game better.

    To assist players in helping us make the game better, the Test Server will award login bonuses in CotOs and Gold coins to allow players to purchase resources or anything they may need to test from the Crown Store and/or from the in game vendors. In Addition, the Developers will announce dates/times when Dev Assisted Player Test Events will occur on the QA Server.

    Please use the Test Environment Bug and Feedback forums for QA Server activities only.

    You can help test by downloading a new SotA Launcher(QA) installer to download a separate QA copy of the game. It exists independently from the regular live version of the game and installs to a separate folder. To use the Player Test Environment, please download the QA Server client here:

    We have reset all of the lot back taxes on QA and plan to apply this to the live server if there are no issues found. (application of this change will be discussed and scheduled during tomorrow's Livestream).

    @DavidDC (Devilcult) needs you input! if there are any issues or questions about what has been reset, please be sure to reply to this thread: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...-for-testing-directive-past-due-taxes.172739/

    The intent is that all lots will be taken out of an arrears state. once this is done, player should deposit a tax credit as you normally would if your lot taxes are due.

    We will continue to keep the expired tax eviction mechanic suspended until November 18th to allow all players to login and take care of the taxes. NOTE: Taxes continue to accrue! suspending the evictions, does not suspend taxes!
