Yes, that is right! We have re-vamped Mandalus. The game had its one year birthday not too long ago, and as we are moving into a new phase of the plot, the Mod Team thought it was time to re-organize information, re-write, and go into more depth to reflect the changes in the city.
We encourage you to take the time to read all of the pages again and see what changes have been working on for the last several weeks! The layouts and colors went through an extreme amount of testing to make sure it is easy to read. If something is broken, hard to read, or needs to be updated, then please contact the Mod Team and let us know!
➡ DEVICES AND IC CHANGES
Given the state that our last event, Mes'Klou, has dropped your characters into? There are changes that are in character that will be rolled out in the next few weeks. Here is a quick run down of things that, starting Monday, August 5th, your characters will notice:
Where In The World Is The System?
All communication has been lost with the System after they left for the Spiritual Plane to fight the Serpent. As such, Mandalus will be seeing a change in government. They will be taken over by a council, headed by a politician resident. An IC post will be going up later this week in the form of a Mandalus News Network announcement. Unlike the System and now the C'Meni, this politician will do little to be in contact with player characters. Whatever concerns your characters have will not matter to this new leader.
As for the System? They are fighting off the Serpent to make sure the souls of Honored Guests return properly. It will be revealed at a later date what else the System has been up to. For now, they are simply Missing In Action and we are left to wonder what exactly is going on.
New Phones and Revamped Bangle
In the morning, your characters will find that their Phones no longer can connect to the Mandalus Network. Outside their living quarters (Assigned Apartments, Canon Buildings, Taken Residences) will be a gift box addressed to "The Resident Honored Guests" from the C'Meni. Inside this box is a Standard Issued Phone created by the C'Meni themselves. Apparently, unlike the System, the C'Meni wish to keep technology up-to-date and make the lives of the Honored Guests a bit easier.
C'Meni and the Honored Guests
The C'Meni have settled within the Spaceport and their leader, Princess Iafara, has made it a goal to aid the Honored Guests however her people can. As such, if anyone would like to meet the C'Meni in person or speak with them over the Network? All they will need to do is ask! The Standard Issued Phones have a contact method built in for the player characters to contact them.
Iafara and her people are far more open than the System. Player characters are more than welcome to ask them questions and they will answer to the best of their knowledge. Their goal is the same goal as yours! Rid Mandalus of the Serpent.
➡ UPCOMING EVENT
We will be shortly announcing the August Event! This will be a far lighter event, and allow for plenty of recoup time for your characters. After all, the Serpent is going to need to lick its own wounds after the blow dealt to him by the combined efforts of the C'Meni and player characters. Everyone will have the time to enjoy the sun in August before the turn of fall.
