State of the Game 2019.
Happy New Year everyone!
We are excited to roll out a new State of the Game to touch base with you all. First and foremost, thank you so much for sticking with us as the structure of the game transitioned. It wasn't the smoothest change, but we are happy with the trajectory we've found and look forward to continuing to increase the amount of influence characters can have over the world of Nysa. This is not to say we are introducing a sandbox. Much to the contrary, we will be soon launching a plot we estimate will span several months. In this plot, we anticipate providing more opportunities for NPC interaction, lasting repercussions, and character-directed plot.
The plot will center around the concept of jumping back in time to adjust and rectify the mistakes made from the past — but not just any one, the ones made by Darma. As the story unfolds, players will have an idea of what had caused the approaching Storm and how they might be able to fix it.
Which brings us to the end result. We expect this plot to run until about June, at which time we will move into endgame. As such, the last app round will be in March, with frequent opportunities for old players to join along the way through a special reapp request (assuming that the character isn't already taken by someone else in the game). With the conclusion of the game's overarching plot, El Nysa will be converted into a sandbox so that everyone who wishes can still maintain the CR and the world they've built for their characters.
Due to the intensive, ambitious nature of the plot leading up to this point, we are looking to take on a few additional moderators. Responsibilities would include plotting, composing event posts, and potentially running an NPC or two. Please contact us for more information and to apply if you're interested!
Lastly, on a housekeeping note, we would like to announce a change in our Activity rules. If you miss a check-in for some reason, you will NOT be immediately swept from the game. Instead, provided you contact the mods, you will be given your one allotted strike and remain in the game. This failsafe may only be used once.
Thank you so much for reading this far! If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or critique, we would absolutely love to hear it! Feel free to contact us on this post, if you would like to open your thoughts to wider discussion. You may also use the mod contact post, or send us a PM.
