How is blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency used in this product?

Sands of Avalon uses blockchain only for optional asset ownership and trading. Select cosmetic items and collectibles can be represented as NFTs, allowing players to securely trade or sell them outside the game if they choose.

What utility does this bring to the product?

Blockchain integration allows players to have true ownership of certain in-game assets, enabling secure trading and optional real-world value — something traditional MMORPGs cannot offer.

Does this product require me to connect an external wallet? What wallets does this product support?

No. You can play without ever connecting a wallet. If you choose to withdraw or trade blockchain-based assets, you may withdraw easily to a supported wallet of your choosing, such as Metamask.

Can I use the product without interacting or engaging with blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency?

Yes. Blockchain features are completely optional and invisible unless you choose to use them. Players can enjoy the full MMORPG experience without any blockchain interaction.

What chain does this product use? Is the chain proof-of-work or proof-of-stake?

Sands of Avalon runs on the SKALE Network, a proof-of-stake blockchain that is gasless for players and environmentally friendly.

Does this product have a marketplace? What can I do with the things that I earn (or purchase)?

Yes. The in-game marketplace allows trading between players for in-game currency. Blockchain-based assets (optional) can be traded or sold via third-party marketplaces outside the game.

Are there in-app purchases within the gameplay? How are payments processed?

Yes. Players can purchase cosmetics, mounts, housing décor, and seasonal passes using our premium currency ($MLS) or traditional payment methods. Payments are processed through secure, standard channels (credit card, PayPal, platform payment systems)

Are there items (such as additional content, offers or currency) for sale that are used in the gameplay of your product?

Yes. Players can purchase optional items such as cosmetics, mounts, housing décor, and premium currency ($MLS), as well as seasonal Battle Passes. These items are purely cosmetic and do not provide any pay-to-win advantages.

Can your product be used without making any in-app purchases?

Yes. Sands of Avalon can be fully enjoyed without making any purchases. All core gameplay systems are accessible without spending money.

Are in-app purchases refundable?

Yes — purchases of premium currency ($MLS) are eligible for a refund as long as none of the currency has been used. Refund requests follow the Epic Games Refund Policy and may take time to process.

For a faster option, players can choose to withdraw their $MLS and sell it on partnered exchanges for quicker reimbursement.

What payment platform is used to facilitate these purchases? Do you use Epic Games’ platform or a 3rd-party (including your own) payment system?

Purchases made through the Epic Games Store use Epic Games’ secure payment platform. If purchased through other platforms (e.g., our website), payments are processed via trusted third-party systems such as Stripe or PayPal.
