We are going to be keeping this edition short and sweet because, we have a lot of work to do still and there is not much extra time floating around right now.

The September event Dark Materials is scheduled to go live on Tuesday, September 18th. This of course means that all worlds will be down on that day from 8am EDT – 3pm EDT. If for some reason that date changes, we will let everyone know. We will be getting the Teaser screenshots out to the fansites as soon as possible, probably on Friday, along with the Release Notes and Fiction.

The forum upgrades that I mention in past updates will be coming in the next 2 weeks. The 2 most notable changes will be the addition of a new forum front-page (see attachment) and the introduction of the Infraction system to these forums. I will have more information on the Infraction system once we get closer to launching it. The system will make it much easier to moderate the forums, as well as making the explanations much easier for why infraction may have been handed out.

Please remember that when the September event goes live, we will no longer be paying maintenance on housing for players. Please make sure you have taken all the necessary steps to make sure that you can once again begin paying your own rents.

The team is busy putting the finishing touches on the September event, while at the same time, work has already begun on the October event. Do not forget that with October comes Festival Season! That time of year when all the fun and in some cases spookiness comes out. We always have fun this time of year, and this upcoming season should be no exception.

That’s about it for now. If we have any updates or important additions, I will update this thread. As always, have a great day and see you all in Dereth!
