Portalarium, founded in September 2009 by Richard Garriott along with Dallas Snell and other industry veterans, was an American video game developer and publisher based in Austin, Texas. The company focused on creating online social games and virtual worlds, with its flagship product being "Shroud of the Avatar," a community-driven MMORPG. Portalarium aimed to innovate in the gaming industry by blending social networking elements with immersive virtual experiences.

Notable figures associated with Portalarium included Richard Garriott, a renowned game designer, and Starr Long. Despite its promising start, the company became defunct around 2019/2020. One of its key achievements was the development of "Shroud of the Avatar," which continued to be maintained by Catnip Games after Portalarium's closure. The company's impact lay in its attempt to merge social interaction with gaming, leaving a legacy through its innovative approach to MMORPGs.
