MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: RESERVES
Hello everyone!
Following yesterday's reserves, we've received a lot of feedback from our players and community. We want to start off by thanking everyone who came to us for being so forthcoming about your concerns. The open dialogue between mods and players is something we strive for, and we're very thankful that people are willing to ask us questions and give us suggestions.
With all that said, we've had a discussion and come to a decision about how to best proceed. In light of what we've heard, we've decided to honor the previous month's reserve system instead of the changes we made. This means that those who were able to reserve will have the first three days of the application cycle to get their apps in before applications open to the general public. In short, a reserve is now for a player slot instead of for a specific character, so anyone who made the reserve cut will have the first shot at getting an app in.
(Please note that this only applies to new players. Second characters from current players do not count toward any of this.)
We intend to continue with this system until our reserves/apps are no longer so competitive, at which time we will transition over to the character-based reserve system we had originally planned for.
Thank you all once again for being such a great community; your willingness to speak candidly about your concerns and trusting us to listen truly helps us continue to shape this game into the best that it can be!
If you have any further thoughts or questions, let us know down below and we'll do our best to answer as soon as possible.
•••
EDIT: Two quick notes to add!
First, any additional player slots we have available will indeed open to unreserved apps, and this will happen after the three-day reserves-only period. If you missed reserves and are still interested in apping, set yourself a reminder for July 25 at 12:01 AM EST, as that's when apps will open to unreserved players. We'll be sure to note on the apps page itself how many slots we have available when that times comes, as it's always possible we might have fluctuations in that number between now and then. Currently, we're looking at 2 available player slots that will be open to unreserved players.
Second, journals that are not a member of this community are now able to comment to this post! Prospective players, please feel free to ask any questions regarding this app round here. Thank you!
