Now that V14 is over it's time to start transitioning to the new age. Typically at this point I start wrapping things up on the test site to the point where I can open it up to you guys to do some final testings. However, there's one SMALL problem: I haven't even set up the test site yet.
Don't panic. I'm not out of ideas or plans for the game yet or anything like that. Just been busy in Real Life lately and most of my GoS time has been spent plotting trying to smite the Light in game. So I'm just a slacker. I'll set up the test site this week and get started on the plans I have. But it'll be a while before things would be ready for you guys to mess with it...
So time for plan B. My plan is to have a short, fun age to keep things going for you guys while I get my act together. And to keep things interesting I'll mix things up (and steal an idea from chat earlier in the age...)
Welcome to the Iron(man) Age!
The Ironman rules will be similar to normal, but with a few minor tweaks:
- All players will be limited to a single character (people with multiple players from the same IP will have to contact me to get special permission for multiple characters)
- All players will receive donor status. This age will not count against donations, so if you've already donated extra it will apply to future ages, not this one.
- Players will get 1 new battle every 15 minutes instead of 2 on the hour change. This means 4 battles an hour instead of 2. Which means the age will likely last about half as long as normal (you guys should hit level 80 twice as fast).
I plan on trying to fix some of the minor bugs from V14. Some will probably have to wait for the test site and V15 though, as I don't want to take TOO long getting this age started. Speaking of which...
My current plan is to launch this ironman age sometime the weekend of December 5-6. Still haven't nailed down the exact time and date yet, but will have it figured out by this weekend.
So enjoy the next week and a half off from GoS. Go Team!
