AUGUST OOC UPDATE.

[lasteden]

AUGUST OOC UPDATE. Hello, everyone. Due to the low amount of activity that the game has been getting, we've decided to transition from a closed sandbox game to an open game. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it below. MOVING FORWARD... We understand and respect when other commitments come up and you don't have the time and energy to focus on games anymore. It happens. But we would appreciate a heads-up if such a situation is happening, so we can assist you. Games require people threading to live - and while this isn't work, this is a commitment that was signed up for. Without player input, we mods are unable to provide plotlines tailored for your characters, which is what the game was set up to be. In light of this, we have decided to open the game to public to increase the player pool. The game cap will remain at 40, so that the mods can devote more time to each player and their character's development. App rounds will be implemented, as well as a 15 comment activity requirement per month, spread out over no more than two threads. For existing players, you would not need to provide an app and will be grandfathered in. The direction of the game will also be shifting towards exploration and adventure into the Badlands, which will roll into the major part of our first plot arc. As of now, two plot arcs are in the works, with three to four chapters each lasting a month of OOC time. Further plot arcs will be written as the game's narrative develops. On the IC side of things, we will be 'freezing' IC time for the whole of August. The game will resume on September 1st, picking up from where July 31st left off. From an IC perspective, there will be no major plot happenings from July 15th to July 31st, to allow for the factions to prepare for exploration events in September. IC time during the closed period will also be shifted forward by a month, so the characters would have arrived in August rather than July. Please let us know below if you would still be interested in remaining by 8/16. TIMELINE. Backend updates to information pages will be ongoing throughout the month in preparation for transition. 8/14 Mod plurk will be live. 8/17 Game ad, TDM as well as the reserves will go up. 8/24 Applications will open. They will close on August 31. 9/1 Game reopens for Chapter 2. We are also looking for one to two helper mods to read over apps and other list management tasks, so the head mod can focus more on plot storyboarding. Please shoot us a PM or a private plurk if you are keen. If you have any suggestions or questions with regards to the transition, do let us know below. Thank you once again for giving Last Eden a chance, and we hope to see you come September!
