STATE OF THE GAME

Hello and welcome to a new year! It's always the year of the dragon here at Children of Bahamut, so may yours be filled with all things scaly and wonderful.

As always, we appreciate the feedback received from players and hope to adjust things accordingly to make the game a smoother, stress-free experience for all. We're here for fun and we want to make that as easy to achieve as possible!

This post will highlight the changes we made in December, housekeeping items/reminders, and a list of claims, sweeps, and drops.

So, without further ado...

UPDATES

While we will mention updates as well on our mod plurk, we're repeating them here for folks who don't have one.

You can check for the tag on pages to see what we've added or clarified on!

⁂ The quest board has been updated! We've added all the currently player suggested quests and also adjusted reputation earned to help characters earn it more quickly. While originally we wanted new areas to be unlocked with reputation, we're re-configuring that and deciding on what else should be the reward for hitting certain milestones (like 100) so as to not impede metaplot progress planned!

⁂ The calendar has been updated for January! Previous months will be in headers on the page as a 'timeline' of sorts for players to look back on or refresh themselves about happenings in-game. Make sure to utilize this to know what the weather is like or any mini-events that might be coming up!

⁂ Although Chai thought (really hard) that they put this on the activity page already, we've added a small bullet point about what happens with bonds when someone drops. Basically: We still encourage people to hash out/summarize how a thread would have gone when they're informed of someone dropping! If that isn't possible, we'll leave it to the remaining player to decide the best outcome for their character when summarizing for bonds.

REMINDERS

Just a few quick reminders from us:

⁂ The test drive meme is up on the meme comm! Tell your friends! After some feedback, we've added a top-level directory thread and a separate section for rockstar profiles to be posted rather than it being baked into the test drive meme itself.

⁂ Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

⁂ We do also ask that people make sure they have an invitation extended to them for the game by a current player or moderator if using the mod contact page for an invitation request. While we're glad to have you, we just want to avoid any awkward misunderstandings that might arise from people using invitations without being given explicit permission to.

⁂ Exclusive Quest submissions are limited and will be RNGed with preference given to people who haven't completed any yet!
