The Dragon's Neck Launch Update
The Dragon's Neck will launch May 18th, 2024 at 10am PDT with overhauled character assets.
It is imperative everyone read this post in its entirety, as there are some preparatory steps that will need to happen before you jump in.
Due to some last minute additions to TDN (more on that below), we are unfortunately going to need to run a final servervault wipe prior to launch. We tried to develop some solutions around this, however the crux of the reasoning is we do not have the time to develop an AC value swap out system that will effectively meet our needs and adequately ensure everyone ends up with armor that matches the AC value they purchased. This, combined with a complete revamp of character appearances is primarily the reason for this wipe. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience however trust that what we've produced will more than suffice for the lost hours of time creating your character. Barring any last minute emergencies, this is it.
TDN's Upcoming Timeline:
- From now until April 28th, 2024:
- Log-in and save your character's description to a text document.
- Notate your build specifics so you can replicate them during our pre-launch week.
- In the event you are away from your PC between now and then and need your character description, you can open up a DM ticket and Aschent_ can retrieve it for you.
- On April 29th, 2024: The Servervault will be WIPED and the server will come offline for final development steps.
- On May 11th, 2024: We will relaunch OOC access and make the character assets available.
- On May 17th, 2024: The server will come offline around 9pm PDT.
- On May 18th, 2024 at 10am PDT: The Dragon's Neck will be live.
Updated Character Assets
Why a Servervault Wipe?
This is primarily needed due to the crunch to get updated character assets in-game and we will NOT wipe the vault again moving forward. Frankly, we didn't expect them ready for a few months, however Goldberry (our fantastic artist) worked hard to have everything complete in time. Had we waited a few months, there would be time to generate a process to move the assets over easily (specifically AC values), however we felt that a small pain felt by the community would be reasonable if the prospect was updated assets with a reasonable launch date.
Dragon Devotee Replacement Class
ICYMI, we've reworked the previously available Dragon Devotee class to the Chymist: Chymist Wiki Page.
While maintaining some of the concepts, we've identified the theme we wanted to proceed with for the class and are happy with the result. We hope you enjoy!
We look forward to seeing everyone at our launch on May 18th.
