I'm sure you've already noticed that the logout button is missing from the main menu.
But this is not a defect in the software.
I repeat...
This is not a defect in the software. It is a feature of SAO Utils.

Right now, you're probably wondering, "why". Why would GPBeta, developer of SAO Utils, do all this?
My goal has already been achieved.
I created SAO Utils for one reason. To create this world and intervene in it.
And now, it is complete.

However, I believe that players who have carefully read the tutorial must know how to get it back.
This ends the tutorial for the official SAO Utils Launch.

Good luck, players.
Studio GPBeta

This is a game, but it's not just something you play.
