EACHDRAIDH OOC

We've had a few questions about this so we wanted to clarify!

Wind magic has not been affected by the death of the sylphs (warning for mass death and suicide.) The God responsible for wind magic and its Avatar are still functioning in the Drabwurld (thanks to shardbearer efforts, in fact!) so wind magic still works. It is the general loss of energy in the Drabwurld that caused wind magic and the Void to be the only sources of wind now in the world. These winds can still be used by characters for whatever purposes. If you need a refresher on the environmental changes happening, check out the September Calendar!

If you are ever unsure about the consequences of something happening in game, don't hesitate to ask us!

First, thank you all for your feedback in this post! We will be taking this information into account as we revise the quest system. These revisions will likely be introduced after the close of the metaplot.

In immediate response to these comments, we are making a few changes

• No players are required to have quest boards. Players of four stars or higher may choose to have quest boards. It is not required.
• No quest objectives documents will be released for September/October. Given the state of the metaplot, the immediate present issue should occupy most characters. Quest givers can freely decide on their quest boards in relation to this. This means there is no requirement for handing out a number of stars.
• IC hand outs/hand ins are no longer be required. For generating CR and being clear on information, we encourage them! However, they are no longer required.
• There is no limit on stars given a month. Quest givers can give out as many stars per month as they wish.

BOONS

First, note that for this month, boons will be extended to the 31st! We want to give everyone extra time to get their boons in.

Second, please be aware that for IC reasons, there will be no boons in two months. At that point, we will be putting into play a revised system for regaining capped skills and regaining items. This system will make it simpler and easier for characters to learn skills, regain those skills which were capped, and access items from home. This means no word count requirements for the next two events!

Everyone, please remember to check that you are on THE TAKEN LIST and THE PLAYER CONTACT LIST. Our list mods have let us know that a number of people haven't put their information in these places. Old and new players, please check you are on both!

A reminder about boons of dropped characters: when dropping, most boons disappear with the character! See this post for details. We have added this information to the drop page for easy reference!

We have also added a link to the drop page to a plotting post for characters to lose their shards when they drop. Players who want to have their character claim a shard in general may comment here at any time. Then, if players who are dropping a character want their character to die and lose their shard, they have an easy place to look for those who are interested! This is not for the claiming of depowered shards of characters who simply vanish.

Happy war preparations, fairybros!

Based on IC action, a few options to wrap up the current major Void metaplot are going to arise within the next few months. We don't want to put any time limits on anything, as all that happens will be player-driven. The player-driven nature of the course means we have no hard dates, but we want everyone to be aware! We will also be posting this announcement to Reserves and Applications pages so that those considering applying will know that the course of the game will be shifting significantly.

There are plans to continue the game once the major Void metaplot is brought to its conclusions. We have every intention of ensuring that people do not lose the hard work they put into this game with the conclusion of this metaplot, so keep working away at your goals. However, the exact nature of the game at that point will depend on player action! Will the Void succeed, will it be destroyed, or will some third possibility be accomplished?

Regardless of the outcome, when this metaplot concludes, we intend to shift the focus of the game from the metaplot pressure. Instead, the game will focus exploring, developing, and supporting the world that YOUR actions will have recreated, saved, or changed. This will give more room for player involvement in the world as the mods step back from directly guiding a major metaplot. We will keep in touch with the player base and player action as it steers the game to the conclusion of this arc!

In response to a recent FAQ question, we have created a document with information on Shard training. It can be found here as well as on the Gameplay FAQ. We hope it helps as a guideline in training going forward!

As boons are upcoming and we've had a few questions about these matters, we wanted to post an announcements on a few elements of boons so everyone can plan their boons accordingly!

( clarifications and a change )

Characters at 4* or over are required to maintain quest boards to maintain rank! Unfamiliar with the new quest rules? Check them out here! Individuals maintaining quest boards? Select your two month objective!

Links to the related docs will be given out after a few days so that full lists of who picked which objectives can be compiled and added to the relevant docs, and so that any necessary last minute Q/A sessions on the new system can be had where necessary.
