Greetings fellow Mesalians,
This announcement have been waiting for a while now. I’m sure everyone’s speculating about when the temporary map will be replaced by the actual one. Unfortunately, the staff and I are sad to announce that it won’t happen.
A little background and some explanation to this; our previous host have yet to even reply to the ticket made several weeks ago. I have done a lot of research into said host and come to the conclusion they appear to have not only poor support but they are likely to go down for it. In said research I’ve encountered several other administrators and community managers that have suffered experiences where there have been no reply or solve to their problems for several months. This appear to have been going on since around spring this year. Even if the map is salvageable, which there’s a chance it is to be honest, it is likely to not happen for months to come. Which is not an option for us as roleplay doesn’t ever halt to wait for whoever falls behind, a lot always goes on all the time. Be it a character, a player or even; a map.
It is not the first time something like this have happened, sadly. Ever since the second time we lost our map (our two first maps were both lost due to the host) the staff have kept a “ending scenario” for every map launched and thus this is not going to stop us from continuing Mesalia and its story.
A new map and a new setting is already in the making and have been for a while now. It is planned for launch sometime the coming few weeks. Thus, as should be obvious, there’s a transition event to be announced and there’s a lot to be happening very soon. As always it is a good time to say goodbye to characters you do not wish to continue and to create new ones. Though I remind you now and I will only say it once; this all have gotten the staff terribly busy on top of already terribly busy (wondered where we went? There's your answer). So we’re kind of super busy! And if you’re to make a character you better do so in good time because we’re gonna go crazy somewhere around the time of launch.
Lastly. We do welcome suggestions and ideas for this new setting. Don’t be shy but don’t expect all your suggestions to be met with a ‘yes’. Creating a setting might seem an easy task in one’s mind but after being there for a whole of 7 times by now I can tell you it’s a delicate art. For example: why a setting should not be placed underground have at least 3 reasons that I can pull from the top of my head without even trying to analyze. Don’t let it discourage you, but keep in mind that the coolest idea you’ve ever had may not be feasible with the tools and circumstances at hand.
The staff will keep you all updated,
