Another quick update

BG here with another post!

With some discussion, we've decided to open applications until the game reaches 30 characters, with them being reviewed on the weekends. Reserves are no longer a requirement, though exist as a show of interest and a placeholder while the app is prepared.

We're going to start fairly regular TDMs where characters already in game can top-level as a sort of event for that month. So that's in the works, as well as some write-ups for events.

In interest to drum up activity (and give more interesting things for everyone to play with!), we're going to implement bonus rewards and quest rewards coming up. Which leads us to a question for our lovely players:

What sorts of quests and rewards would you like to see? So far our thoughts involve enough coin to buy a mount, or house, or addition to existing house, an item from home is reclaimed (or in case of a pet, said pet shows up).

I've also seen some question about what AC will be like when it gets posted on Sept 1st. So the answer is simple - check in to say you're still interested in playing here and with who, check the player page to make sure your roster is accurate, and check your character tag is accurate. You do not need to submit a thread if you don't have one, August has been a strange month for most of us.

- Regains are defintitely something I'd like to see, personally. But all sorts of rewards would be neat to see. Maybe have different "levels" of sorts to be able to choose a regain or local item (for example: depending on complexity, a local item could be in a higher level than a small or simple regain, or vice versa for something like a house compared to a weapon/pet/mount from "home" that might require more "magic" to yank through the dimensions)

- As for quests I'd like to see, definitely things that help flesh out the world at large, both locally in Gazin and areas beyond if possible. For example: Did this quest come from people within the town or further out and are desperate to get any help necessary? If the latter, why did they send a desperate request all the way out to Gazin and not their local area? Was it because their local govt or people weren't trustworthy for some reason? What was the nature of such a quest, and does it involve a possible plot element for later in an event?
Things like that, basically. I love getting the chance to have my chars explore around, especially if they're the type to stick their nose where they might not belong.

Hi BG! I'd definitely be interested in bonus and quest rewards. Kass here would loooove the opportunity to regain pets because she misses her birb and her horse XD. Regains would be less useful for my other character so I'd also like to see some option along the line of money or items from within the game world.

I think I agree that the opportunity to do things to interact with/develop the world would be a fun thing to do for quests, especially since interacting with the world is so much a part of existing gameplay.

I'm fully here for the idea of more regular events and using the TDMs as an opportunity for in game characters to top-level, I've been in games before where that's been done and have found it really fun and engaging.
