Hi everyone! An update as we're now several hours in.
It looked for a moment like we were stabilising but the attack is unfortunately still ongoing. We're doing everything we can to get the affected games back up, but it's a difficult tas…
Mobs do have the capacity to be heard off Prime, but sometimes we deliberately choose not to use that option (or just plain forget to). We are aware of what people can and can't hear and do try to take this into consideration as much as possible.
A huge rave to the veritable army of divine and ephemerals who helped create that truly epic changelog (2040), with a focus on fixing quest bugs! We started with 104 bugs in the game categories and ended with only 35 remaining. Whew!
We want to overhaul this quest as it has a few finicky and strange things like this, but unfortunately it isn't something we had the resources to do this year. Sadly it's one of those things where to fix it, the best thing for us to do is rebuild it…
The problem was that due to the size of Timequakes it was only a 4x4 grid - the cunning mind behind the puzzle thinks if we'd made it bigger than that, you would have been much less likely to brute force it.
Just a quick note here to say we know we're behind on a few things due to the event - we'll be catching up with everything over this week. Thanks for your patience!
I would like to drop in here and give a huge, huge rave to all the admin who helped create this week's event. It's impossible to see the number of hands involved as a player, but there were so many of them (over 10 in total!) and all of them worked …

Without revealing spoilers, that trial is one of the most difficult things to produce on my end (which will make sense to the three people who've been through it). As a result, it's always a huge relief to hear that it's gone well!
Zippers cannot be included in designs, nor can velcro (this falls under the not-too-modern rule). If any existing designs have them, they are aberrations against reality and should be nuked from orbit.

Probably that volunteers only ever get to work on their own organisation's story. Primarily, yes, admin work on their own org in terms of interactions, patron requests, and so on. But when we have Havens-wide projects like events, or …
We can trivially stop them from decaying, which is what most of us do with prized possessions! Our inventories don't automatically stop things from decaying.
My inventory contains tinsel, chocolate panties, an avocado sandwich and some other unmentionable things. Czixi's inventory is even more NSFW thanks to last year's birthday present from Drocilla, but a lot of hers is also tided into containers …
I am finally free of my giant pile of January deadlines! As of today, I get to remember what it's like to not be a giant bundle of screaming stress. Whew.
