Announcement~
We did some working around with some fo the core bits of the shop, and are still working with some meta development, but most of the important stuff is done. Here is a list of all the changes we've done and reasons for them~ Also, there is a male rune knight RP prompt up in guild. c:
✥ Core Changes
✥ A new realm for Spiritus and the new race, Onibi was added.
With the addition of the Shadow Realm of Niflheim, people now have broader options as to the creation of their character. This does not effect Spiritus characters who lived in the Riftwood or who continued living in Makai or Midgard, as Niflheim was considered sealed off entirely while the duration of the riftseal was up.
✥ Each realm now has 2 races and 2 classes.
This is to help round off everything in an even manner. Makai's main races are Witch and Majin, Midgard's is Human and Nephilim, and Niflheim is Spiritus and Onibi. (However, like said in the previous post, Ancient spiritus can still be from Makai or Midgard if they were trapped there after the ancient war. As for classes/factions, Makai still has Cerberus Knights and Blackhearts, Midgard as Rune Knights and Hunters, and Niflheim has Nightmares and Legion. However, since Niflheim factions are extremely meta-based, they are open to any race, though the character will need a solid reason for joining them.
✥ Majin (And witch eaters) have their small bat-like wings returned to their aesthetics.
This helps distinguish them more from witches, and the fact that they're half-bloods. Players can choose if their character has the ability to hide their wings. If a person has art of their majin and they have no wings, they can request a change to the art if need be when we have a thread up for changes.
✥ Nephilim are now the opposite of a majin - the product of a spiritus copulating with a human.
This explains the reason why a human race would have a hint of magic, and they will also now have a small pair of feathered wings on their lower back. Those with Nephilim art may request this aesthetic change when we have a change-thread up.
✥ Spiritus to be primarily based off of major monsters/mythological creatures.
(However, species types are still welcome, though they can still be used by other races as themes, primarily for the Onibi.) This is mostly implemented to help the Onibi fit better.
✥ To better explain the diversities of each race and faction, we have created a new thread.
It includes some aesthetics and is hopefully formatted to be more readable and include more needed information. You can read it [here].
✥ Player-initiated roleplay events can now be created.
This is a sub-section in the forum for players to set up scenarios with roles to fill so they may have an easier time initiating/creating plots and other such things. We will also reward active/successful threads with star tokens.
✥ Meta History has changed, but only in regards to Miusa and Remiel.
Remiel has been removed, but this stuff shouldn't affect anyone's history. In place of him, there is now the 'good spiritus king' who is one of the Nine Heroes from legend, and the One-Eyed Demon King is still the same in nature (though all staff will be allowed to play him for events) so this should not have affected anyone's character.
✥ New cert!
Because the old one wasn't fitting of the art very well. It has different backgrounds depending on the race or faction they are a part of.
✥ Staff still working on tightening up the meta character list, please be patient while we fiddle. <3
✥ World map created. You can see it on the front page.
✥ Suggestions Changes
✥ Flats and giveaways will be split between random and purely judged.
This is to cater to both the hardcore roleplayer and those who may not be awesome, but still enjoy it. We don't want to leave anyone out. Staff will be voting for the purely judged roleplays, and these will no longer have anything random about them.
✥ Most of the random giveaways will be stage 1.
This is to try to avoid the cases of people grabbing art and scampering away with it.
✥ Meta RP word count is doubled for official metas only, up to 8k words per meta.
This is for increasing meta activity and participation.
✥ Participants in metas will be rewarded with a star token.
More rewards for meta-players. o /
✥ Character Art wins now have a cooldown period of 2 months.
This is to avoid people winning one after the other. If you participate in an event and win, you must wait 2 months before you are able to participate in another event.
✥ Staff to do more roleplay events.
People seem to really want these, so staff can organize some involved/not-so-involved roleplay events to help with this, and reward actives with star tokens.
✥ Removed character transformation quests (For now.)
It is already difficult to get to stage 3, so if we put these in later, they will be through a different means. However, you can still roleplay these transformations of monster for spiritus and living armor for warsoul.
✥ Changed gold fee on growths to star tokens. (5 Star Tokens for stage 2, 20 for stage 3.)
✥ Tightened up on rules and forms.
✥ Tightened up on world/race/class information.
✥ More games to be had, more star tokens to be given out.
