WHAT'S GOING ON
Since many are growing restless (and rightfully so - seeing that many of the staff members up and vanished to work on the reboot) and now since it is nearing completion, I have decided to let those that have stuck around the old site a little bit about what's been going on with everything. First off, many staff, myself and others included, have grown increasingly busy as of lately and have hired a few new staff members from our personal pool of contacts. These people, I assure you, are more than capable of running the site efficiently in a non-toxic manner. Some of these I'm sure you have seen around; XIII being one of our new admins, and Nurse being one of our new janitors.
Finally, to the main subject; as many of you have heard - the site is indeed rebooting on a new address and under a different name. It would perhaps better be explained at this point in time in the form of two lists; what is changing, and what is not.
WHAT'S NOT CHANGING:
- Custom Digimon - nothing about custom Digimon has been changed from before.
- The ability to play as a solo Digimon - this will remain.
- The ability to play as a Spirit Wielder or Tamer - these will also remain.
- Stats. Yeah - they're staying, though read more under WHAT'S CHANGING.
- The site will still take place in the year 2041.
- The active crest system from the rehaul will remain.
- Dungeons are staying, missions are staying, and random events are staying.
- The site will still revolve around the four main cities of the real world, and the digital world.
- Your characters - you can keep your characters, to an extent. Read more under WHAT'S CHANGING.
WHAT'S CHANGING:
- Twin Digimon are being removed in completion due to a number of issues - BUT several new classes will be introduced.
- The plot - the plot is essentially being reset and has been reworked. The date will be set back to June - back to the beginning. Everybody, including staff, will lose all of their posts and bits and start over again. You may choose to bring back an old character, or bring in a new character - but they will not have any memory of any events from this site's timeline. Brought back characters will have many special opportunities in the plot, however. Returning members will also receive a bonus.
- Stats have now been fully tested and rebalanced.
- You are now able to choose your human stats.
- Sanity has been reworked into a meter, having far more levels than before.
- Negative crests have different benefits - and are slightly more common.
- DATS has been greatly reworked and now has a greater influence in the grand scheme of things.
- A rival organization now exists.
- Three new classes now exist.
- More shops have been added.
- The plot will now run at a slower, but yet more fluid and easy-moving, pace. Members will have a far greater influence on things than before.
- Leveling has been altered.
- We have a new skin - and it isn't bad on the eyes.
- Basically every single information thread has been rewritten or changed to some extent, though all of the major changes have essentially been listed.
