The past few weeks have been very busy here on RoW, so we have a pretty long update for you guys today with more planned in the upcoming weeks with new policy updates and changes. To help you navigate the announcement easier, we've added a table of contents with quick links to each of our topics.
Two New Packs: Grizzly Hollow and Round Stone Crest
There are two new packs in Relic Lore! Grizzly Hollow has been revived by Borden and Jaysyek Lyall, setting up shop in their original territory in Cedarwood Forest. Black Thorn Downs has also relocated to one of our new territories, Stonewatch Timbers. They are now going by their name, Round Stone Crest. Congratulations to both packs!
Territory Organization
The map has been updated to reflect not only our new packs, but also a change in territory organization. The Deep region has been combined with the Vale of Secrets, meaning that some territories have become sub territories. For details on the new sub territories, you can check our our Library Guide on Sub Territories. If a territory is not selectable when creating a thread, please let us know by posting in the maintenance thread.
Puppy Information
For all parents who are expecting puppies in the upcoming weeks, please double check your due date in the Pup Adoption thread. Birthing threads can be posted any time after the thread is created, but pups are not playable until two weeks after the birthing thread has been started. This means that the longer you delay posting your birth thread, the longer until your pups are playable.
For all pup players, I strongly urge you to familiarize yourself with our Wolf Development Guide. Pups are not adults, which means there are limitations in how they can be played and where they can go.
Health Deductions
The automatic health deductions have been removed to reflect that there's more food available in Relic Lore during the summer time. Health is now 100% member controlled.
Lone Wolf Docks
The lone wolf docks have also been reduced to -20 every two weeks. This means that completing just two threads a month will offset the dock. The two week deduction period will go into effect after the next time your character experiences a deduction.
The ability for staff to delete LP that has been accidentally awarded has also been fixed. So everybody who posted in Maintenance needing that update has had their LP updated appropriately.
Life Points
Just a reminder that all Life Points requests must be submitted through the Life Points form. This form is linked, and has been for a few months, on both the sidebar and in the maintenance thread. From here on out, any LP requests posted in the Maintenance thread will be automatically deleted. That said, if you are having problems submitting your LP via the form, you can let us know via Maintenance so we can figure out what the bug is that is preventing the form from functioning.
Threadlog Thread Locations
When you create an IC thread, there is an option to set a thread prefix. This prefix is the equivalent of setting a thread location. If you do not set a prefix for the thread, then the location field on your thread log will be empty. By default, prefixes should be required in all IC forums, but I have noticed a few thread logs that are missing their locations. So please double check when you're creating a new thread to make sure you have a thread prefix selected. If you see a thread without a location in your thread log, feel free to contact the starter of the thread and ask them to set a prefix.
Member Feedback Requested
As always, we love getting member feedback. We're currently in the process of doing some of the behind the scenes work required for the implementation of some new ideas proposed by members. There is currently a discussion regarding the Fight System that is open to member input. Additionally, RoW's 5th Birthday is rapidly approaching. We will be having our annual yearbook and a few other celebrations, but if you have ideas or would like to volunteer with the birthday celebrations, please let us know!
Have a good one everybody!
