Hi everyone!
So I know Seri held a poll a couple months ago (nearly a year ago?!) about increasing site activity. And we have been trying, behind the scenes, to do a number of different things to help build our activity back up. One of the main things voted for in that last poll was the lore events. I won't get into the details of the other choices and discussions as Seri covered all of my thoughts with her own words and there is no reason to revisit all of that. You all had a good discussion and made great points and moving into 2025, I really want to try and generate a buzz for the site. We're still working on creating activity and getting eyes directed to the site with interest. There is a magic revamp coming, we know it's been a long time coming and has been discussed before. So all of that can remain where it was, unless someone wishes to discuss things again, in which case a separate thread will be made.
This poll is specifically focused on the war. As of the last major lore event, Pergrande dealt a major blow to Bellum's forces and was marching towards the capital. The other parts of the event had some monumental movement and results which I will be utilizing for the set up for the next two events. Yes, there will be two lore events running simultaneously, though only one will be guided.
However, that last event was over two years ago. It will be three years as of March 2025. That means the war has been going on in the background for two real life years without any event or focus. Now I'm aware and understand of the gaps in that event and the lack of follow up falls moderately on us, the staff's, shoulders. I own up to the mistakes and stumbles that have been made both prior, during and after its run. And while I personally have always continued to write as if the war was going on, I would understand if other people, especially newer people, haven't.
So while discussion it with Seri, we decided it was best to host a poll. We want to see what you guys think is the best way to begin moving forward. As a note; one of the next lore events is already written up and the second is in the drafting process. And there is already a planned follow up that will go soon after the conclusion of those two. It is after that point that we want to have an idea of what the community wants moving forward. So please put in a vote and feel free to offer thoughts and suggestions below.
